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

[candyfloss]

We got our surprise today, and "chicken math" is not serving us well!

My son wanted to get these to sell on, ok, I am on board with that, he did really well on his last batch.


We ended up getting
36 chicks, lots of variety, even a few silkies!
4 turkeys (Bronze broad breasted I think)
2 khaki Campbell ducklings

My youngest claimed the ducks
I claimed the turkeys ( and a few chicks)
2 younger sons claimed the silkies
Older daughter claimed a couple other chicks

Son who bought them would keep them all! Lol!

Hmm... We seem to keeping more than we have for sale!

But all are looking really healthy!!!

I'm starting to think I should get working on an extra brooder!
Why did I arrange to pick up 5 EE chicks tomorrow!? I just saw an ad on Craigslist for free Basque roos and Rhodebar roo... so tempted. Hope I can sell some birds around here once I can tell people the breeds. I was doing really well (or bad?) at chicken math too!

really it sounds wonderful for a first timer who doesn't know what they want or wants a large mixture (esp. if they have a more experienced friend who is willing to possible take any of the non-chick fowl off your hands to help offset the cost of the newbies).

Ok, here's a couple pics of my hatchery surprise chicks. Can anyone identify any of them? I know there are 2 Egyptian Fayoumi, 2 Buff Orpington, 2 Barred Rock and 2 Black Cochin. Other than that I am stumped.

Which ones are the Fayoumis? I think I have a couple of them, too (but not from Cackle).

There are a smaller chick with grayish legs and they have the chipmunk type markings with gray/blue in them.

Oh my gosh! I see lots of things that I think I know what they are, but not certain. Any feathered legs?

Bottom photo:
I'm pretty sure the red one in the lower left of the photo, with the faint chipmunk stripes is a Cinnamon Queen pullet. The black one next to her might be a Black Australorp (looks like pink feet?).

Now I'm going to have to go to their website and compare lol. I only got 2 feather legged chicks(black cochins).
