Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

That's the normal weight I read on this thread were someone else said theirs was 19 lbs,but when they got it they said it was nowhere near 19lbs,so we will see

In my experience, the weight has been based on box size. They ship in the big box when it's hot out and it must automatically come through as 19lbs.

They're here!!! So relieved! 51 total chicks (and not all bantams lol). No ducks or guineas. All healthy and peeping LOUDLY! Now the fun part, identifying all these babies! I have some of them figured out....I think. I used google image search to find pics of chicks of some of the breeds. Any input is always welcome! I may have to put pics in a couple posts so please bear with me.

I'm pretty sure I have 2 white crested black polish, 1 silver laced, and 2 gold laced polish.

I have a few more pics to upload but I'm mobile. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't lol I think I have some spitzhauben in there, 5 mottled houdans, and a couple cuckoo marans. There's so many different breeds in here. I'm pretty pleased. I hope yours come today!

Oh wow!!!! Cackle Hatchery has YouTube videos of all the breeds as chicks!! Makes it super easy to identify them! I definitely have 5 mottled houdans lol I'll watch all the videos tonight and try to get a tally on what I have this weekend.

easiest way to identify what you have imo is to get the free catalogue from cackle and thumb through it the old fashion way
