So, I had 4 chicks randomly in my run. Long story. No clue where they came from but heres the thread

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/random-chicks.1453803/

Question:does anyone have any idea what these are? The black ones are starting to show barring and have a white spot on the head so I'm guessing either barred rock or cuckoo marans (single comb) the 2 brown ones I have no idea. The closest match I can find is barnevelders but I've never even heard of the breed until I started trying to find out what these are. Ideas??

Okwell, found out what they were. Heres the whole story. I'm just pasting what I already wrote out on the other thread. Super annoyed right now. Neighbor is a jerk.

Ok, finally got the kids to bed so I can update. Went around asking the neighbors if they were missing any chicks. Started with the ones I know have chickens. Everyone kept saying no, all of theirs were accounted for. Started asking neighbors who didnt have chickens. Not theirs. Was talking to my neighbor directly next to me, yeah they were hers. She went and got chicks from tractor supply, had them in a box in her house and husband said no, they didn't have money for a coop or to care for them and that they have no idea how to care for them so early this morning she went through my back gate and just tossed them in the run. She said she did it around 730. Must have done it either right before or after I was out there and had unlocked the chicken gate. To say I was pissed is an understatement. I told her she needs to ask before ever doing something like that, my older girls could have killed them, they could have froze to death as we were only 28 that early, and that my flock are carriers for a respiratory disease. She didnt seem too apologetic.

This is getting long but she did say they were supposed to be all pullets, 2 cuckoo marans and 2 barnevelders. We will see. I guess I now need a lock and key for my back gate also. and now on top of the MG problem I'm now extra worried because I've been hearing not so great things about tractor supply chicks this year.
