There was about 50 to choose from. I think I annoyed the employee. I had specific requirements. I wanted the smaller chicks so they would be similar in size to the ones Raven currently has. There was some older chicks mixed in. I wanted to look at each ones beak to make sure I did not buy a cross beak and look at their butts as well. Really, it would have been easier if he had just let me catch them myself. I really annoyed him with the barred rocks. First 3 chicks he picked up had huge head spots and I was like nope, that is a boy. We argued back and forth that they were sexed pullets no males in the bin. In the end I got the 2 I wanted with the smallest head spot. These rocks are imposters. Grandma wanted Dominique's, I cannot find them in a 200 mile radius. So no I change my mind, they are not fake rocks they are fake dommers. I showed her pictures of what they should look like as adults and she is very satisfied. I cannot tell you how happy I was to hear the store had speckled sussex. Before I got the Marans, speckled sussex were on my short list but no one carried them. I am sad tractor supply were sold out of chicks, I sort of wanted bielfielders. They were supposed to get another shipment in Thursday. They will have to come another time. If I had waited 1 more day I do not Raven would have accepted these.
well darn. I am sorry, I do remember reading that back when you first got them.
