We went to TSC today to get some chicks, they didnt know what kind they had! Yep i said it lol And I am NO chicken expert so help is much needed lol These pictures are all I could get as I dont want to stress them out since we just got them!

They look like RIRs and maybe BOs ...? They are alot lighter then the 1st ones but they don't look like RIR? The Clover??? She looks like a EE because she has that stripe by her eye? Maybe somebody else will be able to help you better!
 
They don't carry many in store. I think I saw red sex links and RIR in ours.
 
I really hope that Clover is an EE and that she is a Pullet lol there was a farmer there and he helped us pick out ours as the employee that usually is there finally had a day off lol Thanks you all, I will get better pictures when they settle in better!
 
Some people had posted here (and I read elsewhere) not to use wood shavings for chicks, as they might eat it and get sick or die. I'm using flat paper towels....

This is what they had them on in the store (actually I am using Aspen, they use Pine in the stores)

I use pine shavings after a day or two and they figure out where there food is. Not sure on breed sorry!​

aspen and pine really dont have a difference except aspen costing more i would just put the paper towels over the shavings for a day or 2 then just shavings. If you can find pine shavings (fairly fine) in the big blocks made for horse bedding that is the cheapest way to go I get mine from TSC.

I would guess the chicks are red sex link but I need some chick ID help too so dont take my guess to seriously.

I already have Aspen on hand due to having Rats as pets so that is what we used lol
