Efowl.com chicks arrived today! PICS including extra chicks

[dako'ng itlog]

My order of chicks came this morning from Efowl.com. I ordered 10 chicks and got 8 extra packing peanuts. I talked to Efowl and asked themif they had any idea what the extra chicks are. I ordered all pullets except the bantams that are st run. They said the red ones are most likely RIRs or possibly NHRs or Red Stars. The thought the extra white one is probably a White Rock or maybe White Leghorn. All st run. Here are the ones I ordered:

1 SLW

1 BR

1 Australorp

1 Black Frizzle

1 EE

1 Brown Leghorn

1 White Silky

I also ordered 1 White Leghorn & 1 Delaware and got these three. I think the first one is the Delaware?

I ordered 1 NH Red and got eight birds that look like these:

This is my first time posting pictures so I hope it works. Any ideas on which are which of my red and yellow chicks? I am pretty pleased with Efowl.com. All of the chicks came alive and seem to be doing really well. The only problem I have had is my silky and the others are picking its foot feathers and they are starting to bleed. We put on vapo-rub and it still gets picked at. Any ideas there?

BTW, yes that is my 3-yr old son helping me take all of the pictures. He is really excited.

Separate the feather footed from the rest once the bleeding starts they can kill it they wont stop sorry probally not what you wanted to hear. those are wonerful pics 3 yr olds do great job.

Aw, so cute! The reds ones look like Rhode sland reds, and the white ones maybe white rocks or white leghorns.

Maybe I should seperate the Silky. The only problem is it is pecking at it too. I guess it would be better than having them all pick at it.

 

[mstricer]

Its probally picking at the blood. They tend to be canabols (missp)

The red ones look to be Production Reds. NH chicks are usually yellow rather than red.

I have pretty much decided the dark yellow one is a NH and the 8 extra red ones are RIRs. They said they are technically st run but most likely will be male. To top of my day with my new chicks I decided to go get two more new chicks from a lady who was selling chicks out of her garage. I picked up a 10 day old blue silkie and a GLW. They add more color to my flock. I will probably keep the RIRs until I can tell the sex and then get rid of at least the roos.
