They have quite bad rep. Or so I heard…cause most of these BYC mystery threads. Once of the reasons why BYC is so helpful.

Definitely agree!!! Id be searching forever. I literally have dreams about trying to find out my chicken breeds!!! It keeps my up at night and everything. So bad. That is why i am so thankful when i get answers on here!!! Im able to sleep better! Even searching the threads helped.
I thought my bantams were all golden sebright until i read here that they dont have feathered legs
Come to find out half were golden sebrights and half are mille fleur d'Uccle!! Never would have know if not for BYC!!! I feel knowing what breeds i have is so important to know. I made a whole spreadsheet with the info and fill in and change as time goes along!

The closest one is 2 hours from where we live…

That’s the only time I will be ordering mail chicks in a long time though. We found a livestock feed store near us. They are so nice, and have accurate breeds, not genders though, as I saw a male in the female bin…

To young to tell sex. Be careful with those leg bands. When they grow you will need to remove them, they are much too small for an adult chicken. Nice looking group there!

Thank you. They are zip ties and we check them every 3 days!!!

Any guess on breeds!? One i have been concerned with is squishg. All the other 6 feathered and tailed out much faster. Squishy also got stepped on when very young so we are just surprised it survived....big momma was taking care of it the whole time though!

I suck at breeds, but Henrietta does remind me of a leghorn. @Rhodebar Lover or @Overo Mare may help with that. I typically try to stay out of breed identifications

Perfect, thanks for tagging them!

Perfect, thanks for tagging them!

No problem, they both know their stuff.

@Rhodebar Lover @Overo Mare
Can either help with breeds by chance? These and Ginger are the only ones I dont have the breeds for sure! I really appreciate it and im sorry for being needy!

Thank you! I will have to look up New Hampshire breed! Havent heard that one yet!
I only had the 2 yellow birds that are supposedly amberlinks. Only leghorns i have are all older.
Is golden comet its name or a breed of red sex link? I havent had any experience with sex links yet!!!

Red sex links have many names such as red sex links, golden comets, golden sex links, cinnamon queens and probably a few more. It’s all the same breed, just under different names.

I agree that they're probably Production Reds of some sort.
