Not at all. We just got DSL yesterday. Was s'pose to wait for the installer to come hook it up today but I got impatient and bored last night, so I did it myself.

So bring on the pics!

All blue (maybe one of the two blue cochins?)

the above baby's face

two of this guy/girl

this might be my red frizzle cochin?

and another of her

more to come!!!

 

[ttrjpbcz]

This is the tinyist whitest in the bunch, I think she might be the white frizzle?

My guess is the one in the middle is a dark brahma and the two outers are lights?

another all blue

can ya pick anyone out of this bunch?

This is dark for some reason, sorry

So the whole box has
9 dark brahmas (1 is a roo)
4 light brahmas
2 standard blue cochins
5 black giants (1 roo)
1 black frizzle cochin bantam
1 red frizzle cochin bantam
1 white frizzle cochin bantam

Whatcha think??

Okay, I wrote em all down so let me see if I can do this right. I may have to come back and edit.
First post, first set of pics:

1. I think you are right, blue cochin.
2. Next 3 pics, is this the same chick in all 3 pics? I can't see the feet real well, they look feathered; are they? If so, then it's a cochin, not a brahma.
3. Next 2 pics, I'm going with light brahma on that one.
4. The next two pics of the "guy/girl" jersey giant.
5. Last one in that set of pics, red frizzle cochin.

Next post, second set of pics:

1. Next pics, again I can't see the feet real well, but it looks to be a jersey giant.
2. Think you are right again, a white cochin.
3. The pic of three is a dark brahma with a light brahma on either side.
4. Again a blue cochin.
5. In the pic of a whole bunch, the one easiest for me to pick out is the dark brahma in the far right hand corner.
6. In the last pic, same as pic one of this set. If it's clean legged it's a jersey giant.

Did they mark your roos for you? It will be a color streak from the beak up to the forehead. Mine were colored orange and burgundy.

I probably don't have to tell you this, but make sure that tiny light one is getting plenty to eat and drink.
Good luck with your chicks and enjoy!!

Well, I just checked everyone again and it looks like one of the dark brahmas might be marked with purple ink on the beak, but no one else. I didn't know that was an option, I would've asked that they did that for sure!!
Yes, the 3 tiny tiny frizzles are being watched out for very carefully

Thank you so much!!! The furry leg thing really helped me figure out who was who!!!

 

[gritsar]

You're welcome.

I was going thru some old pics last night and I just had to add these two.

This is what my dark brahma roo looked like at a couple of weeks old:

He was quite the pitiful little thing.

This is Thor today:

 

[ttrjpbcz]

Oh my goodness!! He went from brown to black and white??
He looks so cute in both pictures!! I love him!!!

I need to figure out how to get a good pic of him in the sunlight. In the sun, the dark on his wings is so blue it's almost purple. His tail feathers have a beautiful green/blue sheen to them. His chest is black with white specks, as are his feet.

Just wanted to add that we ordered 3 blue cochins from McMurray this spring and what they sent was 1 blue and two that looked black so if you have one that is mainly black with feathered feet it is probably a blue cochin. I guess since black hatches from blue parents they figure they can send it as blue. Didn't seem fair to me.
I love my two brahmas Will be getting more of them next year

 

[ttrjpbcz]

Well, I think I have it nailed down!! finally

Here are my 3 frizzles one red one white and one black

My 2 (one roo and one pullet) blue cochins

Just don't know which is the roo...? I am guessing the bigger darker one?
