Golden Cuckoo marans for the dark red with head spot (or fayoumi, but I think the marans) and a Buckeye for the light red? The chipmunk.....too may options: brown leghorn, partridge rock/cochin, speckled sussex, various Eggers without a specific color pattern to start with....

You really are good! Yes, Golden Cuckoo Marans and Buckeye (without you I would have no idea which was which)!

TeeHee! I'm 81 in the Autumn & spoke to my sis today who will be 91 next month. We spent our whole conversation exchanging stories of our aches, pains, surgeries, & therapies

I'll give you a call soon

Meyers has a "what's hatching" spot for this week's chicks. Going through and clicking on definite maybes...no baby pics or not conclusive pics
...switch to Cackle's for the ones they have as their pics amount to a library of pics (useful especially with a variety of feather patterns). That head spot means barring/cuckoo pattern every time....even when it's messed up stripes like my Cuckoo's were.

Gold and red down on chicks can go much lighter or much darker as adults. It's amazing how much variation there can be in that. For your light red fluffy darling, it was more this breed (hybrid/production) I feel is a maybe as a fill choice....until I saw the Buckeyes on the list. I think you're more inclined to go for unusual/breeds you've seen here.

Now, with more info on the little chippy, can I peg it too?

Best guess (you wouldn't get a bantam with all the big ladies, and chick size says standard size anyway): yellow legs, either a brown leghorn or a welsummer. White legs: speckled sussex or jubilee orpington. Other less likely possibilities: one of the Eggers, with the partridge olive egger top of that list.

Don’t count on it! Clyde favourite ladies are Patches and Silver bird. Both are bigger than he is, I think he has been able to breed them.

Mr LC I am not so sure about. I feel like a voyeur trying to get a peak to see if he can ‘get the job done’.

Meanwhile, Mrs LC can’t stand him and only has eyes for Mr P. Her eggs are definitely not fertile. Not that I would want to hatch any of her eggs!

Mrs LC has very good taste on choosing her gentlemen. Mr . P 8s the best of the best

This is the Golden Cuckoo Marans I think. Just noticed very fluffy legs!

Here is chippy showing off her leg color: pink. Is that white?

Bit worried about chippy - pooping a sort of clear gel. Doesn’t act ill. Is that usual for a very young chick. Don’t think I have ever had chicks on day of hatch before.
And yes, I am already a helicopter Mom!

Something so cute would get stolen around here! We made sure to strap our box down securely w/metal straps!

Does your mail get stolen?
The USPS doesn’t deliver to me - I have a PO Box at the Post Office.

USPS Tax: babies survived the night and seem to be believers in a hearty breakfast.
