Pictures of the little buggers! I didn't get all of them but here are some! Been a rough couple of days but the chicks are okay so I will be too.
The first pic is before I turned on the heat for the night so they might look a little cold.

They are so precious!

I believe I see a white crested black polish

One of them looks like a white leghorn. There's another one that looks like an Easter egger.

Chicks are doing well about to hit the 2 week mark, some have little neck feathers growing in as well, insane how fast they grow.

I do have 2-3 of them that seem to just not want to get any bigger nor grow new feathers I am wondering if its a breed thing as they all share the same body type and coloring. The 3 seem to spend more time under the heat I assume because they can't hold in as much heat as the others. Only one of these 3 had pasty butt which I clean each time I see it, soaking them in warm water. (They seem to enjoy it quite a lot)

I believe the one I thought was a polish is actually a sultan as it has very feathery feet. I think one may be a brahma as well which would be very fun to have.
It's probably too early to tell but a few definitely have some big combs and spicy personalities which makes me assume roos, but I know hens can start that way and settle down after a while. I don't want to get too hopeful about the amount of hens I have but I think I have a good ratio as of now. I will try and get good pictures of the roo suspects.

Trying to enjoy them while they're little, but I can't wait for them to hatch their own chicks as well!

Unfortunately after I put them in the coop they were well for about a week until something I assume a weasel pushed in through the floor and killed all of them.
I had hoped having that many birds would mean they would have a higher chance of leaving some alive but clearly it was just a game for the animal.
I will be working on the coop until next February when I am able to order more as I've been in a depressive slump. . I was fully prepared for some of them to die but having them slaughtered all at once made me feel sick. They weren't meant to die like that and I wish I had known it was unsafe for them. There is many things I wish but I will wait now.
Not many people found this thread interesting so I didn't bother posting, maybe I will try again with the next batch but there won't be any more posts here as it breaks my heart to see them again
