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

I received my shipment Wednesday, 5/13. My Surprise had 52 chicks and 2 ducks. All arrived alive and well. I had one that died the first night, that is it. They are active and healthy.


Black with feathered feet. Two different kinds. Cochin/Brahma?

2 black sex-links and another mostly black one

Blues with mask

Brown with feathered feet ?Brahma

Brown with mask. non-feathered feet.

Not Brahma. I see at least one headspot. Probably Barred Cochin or Cuckoo Marans. Non-headspotted-birds would be Black Cochin or Black (Copper) Marans.

Blues with mask
Blue Sumatra

Brown with feathered feet ?Brahma
Look at the combs. If pea, Dark Brahma. If single, Partride or Gold Laced Cochin.

Brown with mask. non-feathered feet.
Look at the combs. If rose, Wyandottes. If single, Partridge Plymouth Rock.

Dominickers is an old colloquial name used for Barred Rocks and Dominiques. Look at the combs. If single, Rocks (yellow feet) or Cuckoo Marans (pink feet). If rose, Dominiques. Cackle also has Barred/Cuckoo Old English Game... but whatever.

Gray/blue yellow
Spitzhauben

Brown stripped active thingys
Depending on leg color, ear color, etc: Brown Leghorn, Phoenix, Old English Game...

Active brown things. Love the backs
Egyptian Fayoumi. Why does everybody else get these things and I never do!?

Yellow and blue/gray. 2 kinds
Maybe Spitzhauben and Hamburg. Look at the combs.

Yellow and brown
Look like Easter Eggers to me

Yellow with gray bums
Columbian Rock, White Rock, or similar

The rest of the yellow and red things... good luck. Look at the combs and leg color for help.

Any updated pics of the little cuties???

Yes, sorry. It's busy season for me (I work for a cyber school & it's state testing time, blech).
All of the re-ship ones survived and everyone is thriving. I took pictures of them, but then I threw my phone into a moat on an amusement park ride accidentally.
...yeah...it's been that kinda month. Lots of different breeds (which makes me happy). I'll try to upload pictures on Sunday.
