Breed question!

[Dreamer777]

so I picked up 6 chicks from the assorted bantam bin at TSC (side note, I also work there) I have NEVER seen chicks like this. We order from HOOVER hatchery. If anyone can help identify the breeds, it would be much appreciated!

There’s 2 different chicks, the grey chick has black/grey feet, the other chick has feathered yellow/orange feet.

After much research, I’ve made an educated guess as to what I think, but I’d Like some experts opinions!

Thanks so much!

No idea. Just saying ; ) Lucky you working with chicks! Hope you get a good discount on all the feed you'll need for the many chicks you'll take home.
Always nice to have a chicken knowledgeable person at TSC.

The discount is decent, an I love my job...however working for tsc was the worst idea ever. Lol so many new projects now, an I swear half of my paychecks go right back to them!
I try to be as knowledgeable as possible! I always see all these horror stories about tsc, an I cringe every single time! I swear not all stores are that bad! My store is behind on everything right now (resets, putting merchandise out) BECAUSE we take such good care of our chicks! I’ll be the first to admit. Ducks, while adorable, are disgusting creatures to clean up after,..we change their bedding up to 3x a day just to keep it looking good! They just like to play in their water an splash it everywhere!

I like my local store too. They don't always label the breeds accurately, but my pullets have been pullets (so they must put them back in the right bin) and the chicks look clean and healthy.

Agreed on the Brahma. Not sure on the lavender. What gives it away as oeg at this point out of curiosity?

Sadly, that’s always a toss up! My first ever chickens I got 4 black silkies. Still waiting on confirmation from the 1, but I have 2, maybe 3 roosters, an 1 hen from it. Bought 2 more laying white silkies. Then these babies came in...so who knows how it will go?!

Yay! So I may have gotten 1 correct...is is possible to have a bantam Brahma? Like I said in the post, I work for tsc, an I’m the one that unboxed the chicks, they were hatchery labeled as bantams
