Cackle Hatchery mystery box

[Bug n Flock]

We have 60+/- acres and tho the plan was to freezer some and sell some, I think we will keep most to see how they grow up. May sell some as point of lay birds and we will put any extra cockrels in the freezer with any meat birds, but we are too curious if the ID's(both ours and those suggested by folks online and thru text) are accurate to sell any as chicks! Hahaha we are going to move furniture around and fill the kitchen with brooders.

On the old thread (that I couldn't find) people reported getting Turkins, famois, Phoenix and lots of very cool birds.

I am hoping that you get an awesome mix.

Some of my favorites so far from my box(not all chicks ID'd yet):

"Spot N Dot" Jersey Giant

"Blue Floof" lavendar amameracana

Bourbon red turkeys

Babeh ducks

Plus several types of polish which I am pretty durn excited about.

Yes, I have adult chickens now(5 mutts) and I have raised chooks for meat(small number raised indoors in the city), but this is my first "real" experience with chickens and I am so excited to see all the different breeds as they grow up!!

Edit: the duckies are in a ducks only brooder now. That photo was taken early on when they were warming up and rehydrating immediately after arrival. The 3 pekins now have 3 kacki campell and 3 mallard brooder mates because duck math and Tractor supply.
