I see you're in Ohio. Any chance this is frostbite? Looks painful. Hope a soak will help them. Did you post on the emergencies forum? I wish you good luck.

O.k. so I'm feeling foolish now for ordering hatchery Brahma's because they're nothing like those from breeders. Can anyone at least please reassure me that they think they're the same? I mean I mostly chose them because of their personalities. Hey this sounds like an ugly blind date experience, huh? What I mean is, have they been crossed with so many prolific layers that they aren't even sweet anymore, or are they just imperfect, show wise? C'mon, tell me it'll be alright.

Just wanted to add that I've heard different responses on this question, so anyone with knowledge on hatchery chicks, please respond.

I had hatchery Brahmas years ago and I will say that the pullets were very sweet, but the roosters got mean They were from Privett Hatchery and light Brahmas.

Thanks for your honesty. I'm about ready to cancel my chick order. I just don't know where to get a few good L.F Buff's and Lights. Any ideas?
