I got my surprise! YAY!
It's hard to count so many chicks, but I believe I have 35 chicks, 2 ducklings, and 2 turkey poults. One chick was dead on arrival. With him, my count would be exactly 40 babies, if I'm counting correctly, which is what Cackle guarantees in each order.
I'm tempted to overwhelm the forum with "what breed is this?!" pictures, but I guess I'll be nice and spare everybody 100 pictures of chicks
I *think* I got a bourbon red turkey. The second turkey is white/yellow, so I'm not sure if it is a white broad breasted or a royal palm. Does anybody know how to tell the difference at this age? I don't want to get attached if it is a white broad breasted, since with their growth you either have to butcher them or they die young. Here is a photo:
I have lots of feathered feet, a few vaulted/crested heads, some beards, some super fluffy, and everything in between. The variety of chickens they sent me is huge. I have no clue how I'm going to pick who to keep and who to sell.
Here are some random pics. If you recognize any breed, let me know, otherwise, just enjoy I know I am!
