Chick close ups....any ideas??

[scalaway]

I posted some of my pic's yesterday..Here are some close-up shots of the girls

-- Any ideas what kinds they might be? This was a McMurray rainbow egg layer assortment--it's making me crazy trying to figure out what they are

-- I think we have some EE's, chipmunk-y looking--and very cute

-- but these are stumping me

!!

Here's the first one...kind of a gray-ish cast to the down--hopefully the picture shows it good enough

Here she is in with the rest of the chicks for contrast

I'm pretty sure this one is an EE?

This one has feather-y legs and a really "fluffy" appearance--especially around the head--we have two of these---

This one I thought might be a red comet or a RIR -- not so sure now with the feathers that are coming in --they are spotted--??

no guesses on this one

-- have a few--some have more black than this little one...

Here's another with some together to show the contrast in colors

-- Thanks for your help!--Looking forward to figuring out what we have

!

Any ideas what breeds they might be?

The black one looks like my Black Australorps.

Now, I'm feeling really disappointed. LOL I ordered that same assortment from MM and ended up with 22 of the same breed. No EE, either. boo hiss.

Your assortment looks fantastic!

Thanks

! I just posted on your thread

-- Wow, I would have been really disappointed if they had sent all yellow chicks!! I know a lot of breeds start out that way , but man..it stinks when you are hoping for an "assortment"! We just got ours on Sunday am (they called at the PO while I was at church

!) I don't know if I'll order again from McMurray...not real thrilled with their "customer service" -- frustrating

Anyways--thanks for the suggestions! Hope your girls do well

!

It looks like a messed up bag of skittles!

I cant help with breeds but they sure are cute. I would order that if my DH would let me!

Now how can i squeeze in more babies without him noticing.....

I'm of no help, but I was JUST thinking the same thing, Melissastraka! How to squeeze more "peeps" (as my kids call them) into the box without DH noticing....

-- With the hubby thing.....if you add them in groups of 2 or 3, they really don't notice

-- I even threw in a duck pair a few years back..took my hubby a full 2 weeks to realize that there were other SPECIES in my clutch
