I joined the forum just to be able to post on this thread! I ordered one of these and it arrived at the beginning of May. Figuring out a few of these breeds has been tough! Does anyone know how often they ship breeds they aren't currently offering for sale?
For example, these first two are bantams.
I received two of these. They were very light red with faint striping and not a single comb, so I assumed wheaten cubalayas. They are developing a ton of white now though.
I have one of these. It was a pure yellow chick without a grayish hue. It had horizontal black stripes on its head and back, no chipmunk striping. I thought maybe mismarked mottled Japanese or something, but I have another Japanese and the stance is completely different. This bird has a single comb and blue legs. Its build and size is very similar to the phoenix bantams I received, although its tail isn't quite as long. The coloring is similar to a lakenvelder, but it is a smaller size.
This is the bird from my avatar. I thought maybe red shouldered yokohama but the leg color is wrong. Definitely no beard, so I don't think EE. It was a peach with silver undertones as a chick.
Any help on these? The others were mostly easy to figure out although I have 4 pea/rose comb birds with green legs that might be EE that have been tricky. I got a pair of Rouen ducklings, 3 bantam phoenix and 1 full sized, a pair of mottled Houdan, 4 golden laced polish, 3 buff brahmas, 10 Cochins in different colors, some full size and some bantam, 4 cuckoo marans, 2 black with single combs - probably australorps, 8 Dominique roosters (boo that they are all boys), 1 probably brown leghorn, 2 columbian rocks and 4 white rocks.
I'm thinking of getting another batch in a month or so!
