@RoyalChick I Need Identification Help

Actually, I seriously do. I got some chicks and there were supposedly 3 'free pullets' included. One looks so much like my welsummers that I'm not sure which of 2 ISN'T the Welsummer. The other 2 are below.

This is what I DO know about them:
A) They are standard size (not bantams)
B) They are white egg layers
C) They come from Meyer Hatchery

I looked at the options and come up with 2 or 3 plausible (I think) for each. So, any assistance you can lend in identifying the breed would be awesome.

Both Chicks together:

And, yes, they are already interested in BeakBook! Thankfully they are still pretty innocent right now and are just looking at broody mommy pics!!!

Great advise maryjanet, i Have to say I was furious reading her account. But then too much Irish temper in me...

If you want change, it has to be suggested in kind and constructive terms or they'll bin it.

What happened would make the calmest of us angry in any culture. Paying money only for your chicken too be neglected is abhorrent and shouldn't go unnoticed or others will suffer the same.

So.. I think I understand why you all like chickens.

this one adopted me and had been my shoulder baby since she was four days old. Started on a couch, now she’ll “fly” to me to get on my arms and up my shoulder. She’s a great helper!

I will email him over the weekend and I will make sure I am unemotional when I do. He didn’t have anything to do with the debacle. I am of the opinion it was a miscommunication and something rectifiable.

The Chook Taj Mahal is in!

After a bit of a late start, the guys arrived with the structure flat-packed in the back of a Ute. By the time they finished the light was beginning to fade but they got it finished. I’m so happy with it! I’ll need to varnish the door, the duck-walk and nest boxes so they’ll have to wait another week so the fumes clear, but that’s ok.

We got two! they’re evil and so funny. They’ve started scratching (just turned a week old) and get so into it they knock themselves over.

I love that stage. So adorable.

i frequent the duck page, but got adopted by that chickie (Brienne).

She has 4 sisters from her clutch and 2 baby sisters! She’s always been the “mommy”. we bonded because she had a completely/near complete blind sister. her and that girl were bonded, always cuddled, etc. when she started doing poorly, I took brienne to keep her company, so we spent time cuddling on the couch while I syringed food into her blind sister. It turns out, brienne herself is partially sighted. She needs some birdy glasses ! thats when our relationship started. I was just sitting on the couch, them on a heating pad, when she gets up and runs up my arm, then nests down under my hair. Now, without fail, she runs up to me and gets head scratches. She plays “peekaboo” and will stick her head under my hand/into a hole I make with my fingers. She’s lost her two closest sisters, and I think we’re both kind of tired of it.

now that She’s around 2 weeks, she’s got a wild amount of feathers. When she sees me she stares, sizes me up, and decides if she can “fly” the distance to land on my arm. i just put my hand out instead of this, though. I’m not a fan of the flying at me (formerly scared of chickens). so, yes. My romp into chickens on accident has been quite tiring and i definitely appreciate chicken raisers so much more lol.

I’ll attach some pics of her and her sisters
