Ok,so my cackle suprise came in yesterday and got a huge assortment of about 38 chicks both standard and bantam,and two goslings.I know the geese are toulouse but have not figured the chicks yet.I have been on there site compairing photos and have a few ideas but lets see what everyone else thinks :)

1)This chick is standard...looks a dirty color and has white tips on its wings.Spangled Hamburg???



Another photo of him...almost a splashy patern...




2)this lil guy is a bantam....Solid black with black beak and black feet.Brown red OEGB???


3) I have quite a few of these...bantam size,very active...pheonix???




4)This one is standard and has feathers on his


5)Another featherd foot baby,,,,this one is bantam.
 
I think you're right on your Silver Spangled Hamburg. SS Hamburgs are so pretty! Fingers crossed that it's a female. I would love to have a few or maybe some Golden Pencilled Hamburgs.

I pondered and pondered over #4. It looks like it doesn't have any feathering on the middle toe. Brahmas are supposed to have middle toe feathering and I think Cochins are, too. Maybe later I'll go out and look at my Cochin. I'm going to guess a Silver or Gold Laced Cochin on #4. My screen may be seeing the colors incorrectly. I withdraw my guess of Cochin if that chick has a pea comb. A Cochin should already be showing a single comb with little tiny points on it. I looked through my Cackle catalog and could come up with no other ideas but a Cochin or a Brahma. Brahma = pea comb, Cochin = straight comb.
