Looks like some cochins and silkies. The one with the all white head looks like it may be polish? Where did you get them?

I got them from Tractor Supply, a farm and feed store chain. I was told one was a silkie, and a number have feathers on their feet and tufts on their heads. My favorite are the ones that look like little chipmunks, but I can't pin down the breed. I think they came from McMurray Hatchery origianally.

I'm very pleased with my broody! She has two chicks that hatched last night and early morning and is still sitting tight on the last two eggs. One of those is finally pipped and the other one is pipped internally. The two lil hatched rascals escape from under her and she just gently calls them back. So cute!

The ones that look like chipmunks are most likely Americuanas, my Buff Rock just hatched out 6 of them. I'm enjoying the interactions between mother and newly hatched. Sadly one didn't make it. Also one that is mostly black has like a bald pink spot on the top of its head. Anyone know what that might be?

Thanks to all of you for your help and encouragement! The same broody just hatched another chick, and pecked at it and shoved untill it fell from the nest still wet! I put it in with the other chicks and am hoping for the best. BAD Broody!!!

I'm sorry you lost one of your babies, computer chicken.

The others look adorable, and I think your right about the americaunas. What fun!
