I got some fertilized eggs a few weeks ago, and these little chicks were born this weekend.
Does anyone remember your Exchequer chicks looking like any of these, and have a picture to share of what they look like now?
Can’t wait to see how these little guys turn out. :wee

The circled one looks exactly right for an Exchequer Leghorn. The one next to it does not and I doubt it is one. The chicks can be variable in color, so the others could be Exchequers but you won't know for sure until they grow up.

The one you have looks close to what I've hatched.
There's two in a pic next to an egg. They don't look correct but they could be I guess.
The light ones and the nearly all black are not even close.
It'll be interesting to see what they turn out to be.
Yes the blue Exchequer are something I've came up.with.

is there a band system that could help keep track of who is who? I want to see how they feather out.
I think the rooster had a lot of black in it. The seller showed me at one point

I used to toe punch but now I've just been cutting toe webs with cuticle scissors.
You could use zip ties if you change them often enough.
