Crested Special/Blue Silkie/Turken/"Packing Peanut" Shipment

[weeboing]

I just received my "missing in transit" shipment from Ideal Poultry this morning. They are four days old and are active, loud, hungry, thirsty, and cute as a bug. (Not a single dead one in the batch even with no food/drink for that long.) I ordered 6 blue silkies (so could be black, blue, or splash I think) I can ID the silkies but not the color. Two Turken/naked necks (these I can ID) and 10 crested variety. There is also one packing peanut in there but I do not know which one. Also, we took pictures quickly as we put them in with the food and water (I gave them the Grogel B Plus and had them get their fill of that before I even left the post office.) Number 6 looks the most tired/weak but seems to be getting a little peppier since this picture was taken.

I believe the first chick is your packing peanut. It's neither Silkie nor a crested breed. Does it have a beard?
#2. Blue Silkie
#3. Splash Silkie
#4. Blue Silkie
#5. Red Crested Red Polish makes most sense....they can have dark spots on the down as chicks. Buff Laced also feather in completely buff/white.
#6. Buff Laced Polish
#7. Also Buff Laced Polish?
#8. Red Crested Red Polish?
#9. Also Red Polish?
#10. Another Red Polish
#11. ANOTHER Red Polish
#12. White Crested Blue Polish, only the splash variety? Possibly Black Crested White?
#13. Same thing as the above.
#14. Splash Silkie
#15. Black Crested White?
#16. Either Black Crested White or White Crested "Splash" variety
#17. Mottled Houdan

I think time will tell for sure.

They must have had an overabundance of Red Polishes that day! Ha! The peanut is bearded and its legs are darker as well. (And is beginning a pasty butt...)

My mom is so excited no matter the type of tophat. (This is her Mother's Day present.)
