Can you help me figure out what my chicks are? (Lots of pics!)

[ESofVA]

If I received that mixed bunch of chicks after specifying particular breeds and colors I wouldn't be just a BIT ticked off, I would be saying very bad things. I just ordered chicks for the first time in my life. I specified if substitutions had to be made, I was to be contacted so I could select another breed or breeds. Mine are to come in June 5th. I am really looking forward to seeing them!

You have no idea. I actually have less than half of the chicks I ordered, and only 2 of them are the correct breeds. Not very happy at all...

i dont think its a silkie either. silkies would have black skin, heavily feathered legs with feathers on the outer toe as well, they also have 5 toes, and different type of feathers than that one has (it appears to have normal feathers not silkie feathers). i would be asking for a full refund since you got nothing you asked for at all and i am pretty sure you probably paid a pretty penny for breeds that you didnt even get and i would never order from there again as well

do they have blue marans listed as well?

I've been very disappointed with then ever since I placed my order. I will never order from them again - I'm still waiting on a refund for the they didn't ship.

They only have Copper, Cuckoo and Wheaten Marans listed.

I'm wondering if they aren't keeping their birds as separated as they are leading us to believe, it looks like I have a bunch of mutts.

(No, mohawk doesn't have feathered legs, they're clean.)

wonder if the copper also includes blue copper marans...do they have any clean legged top hats like polish? trying to help figure out why it looks like it has a crest...

if your willing to order from a hatchery you can check out this one http://meyerhatchery.com/productinf...ickens&grd_prodone_filter=PRODUCT_ID = 'BLRS' their birds look nice.

Nope no polish. I looked at all their breeds and didn't see any other than the silkies with crests. Maybe they have some Polish they're working on and just aren't ready to sell yet?

I actually got a BLRW from Meyer last year, she's in my profile pic. She was sickly, and didn't last past a week, passed away while I was holding her. Thank you for looking up the link for me!

Here are updated pictures at 6 weeks, 3 days
They have slate legs, does that mean they aren't true marans?


Black copper maran?



Blue copper maran?


Splash maran?


Olive egger?



Serama? (Jk, I know it is, she's just cute

The one you have listed as Oliver Egger, looks to be a silkie cross of some kind.
