Here is a post just for fun! Want to help me figure out what they are? They are a month old now and feathering out so well. I ordered 5 breeds but changed the order a week before so I don't remember what they are! Plus we had our surprise which has turned out so cool and fun! I know I ordered Easter Eggers, Light Brahmas, and Marans. Of my surprise I sold 4 Egyptian whatevers (tiny babies) and 6 mixed bag standard cochins.

Ok, here are pics!

I have 66!
 
If the 2nd black ones are the Astralorps, then the 3rd white is a Jersey Giant. I couldn't remember if I ordered them black or white. Our computer crashed so I lost the emails.
This means I ordered 5 Black Australorps + 1 (even hatcheries are in on chicken math), 7 Light Brahmas, 7 EE, 5 White Jersey Giants, and 5 Marans.

The surprise was:
4 Mille Fluer d'Uccle
2 Golden Campine
2 Speckled Sussex
4 Red sex-link
4 Black sex-link
4 Golden laced Polish
4 Silver laced Wyandote
2 Turkens
4 Extra EE's
4 Egyptian Flamois (sp?)
6 mixed bag Standard Cochins - wish I had kept these
2 white turkeys
2 Khaki Ducks
----------
44 But, There are 66 in the coop! We put them all in cages and counted them last night. The last 14 in this list are not in the coop.

30 that I ordered + 30 surprise = 60...6 left unidentified. I must have received 50 in the surprise.


Thanks for your help Piper! It is cool to see what I have. I had been wanting Sussex and Mille Fluer! I knew I recognized the coloring of the Mille Fluer but couldn't place it.

I was thinking the first pic is black sex-link.

We have loved the Hatchery Surprise so much even dh has said we should get one every year to raise. `

is that one with no hair on its neck a chicken? I've never seen anything like that. Hes cute though.
 
It is a chicken! They are called Turkens and they were white as chicks. I like their little hair piece. :)
 
Numbers 4 and 5 in the close ups are definitely Easter Eggers, probably number 2 also because of the white on his face
