[Standard Hen]

You hit the mother load,,,do you think they are all hens?

 

[MaryT]

wow! 9 extra !!! How cool is that

 

[Acre of Blessings]

that will be great if they are all hens

 

[Jubaby]

They are cute! I was actually hoping for an extra rooster or two, but I guess 30 was enough to keep warm.

And there may still be a rooster in the bunch anyways!

anyone have a clue what type of chicks they might be? (the golden ones)

 

[Jubaby]

I'm a newbie, but I was thinking that they look like my New Hampshire Reds.

Well, I'm new to the RIR's but my chicks have dark stripe on back and top of head with a bit of a dark streak by the eye. ( they are all pullets though )
Not sure if this works with all breeds, but take each chick, hold carefully and then spread out a wing to see all feathers coming in. If the row of feathers on the tips are all the same length, roo, if second row is shorter, pullet. But you can only do this in the first couple days of life to tell.
Since you don't know the breed other characteristics may not help here, time will? I'm sure they are not all roos. I don't think they would do that, but I'm sure you will have some. Craigslist is a good place to rid some if you need to.

Where did you order from?

Ohh you got packing peanuts, how cute. I always thought they are production reds or some like that, any kind of roos that they cant get rid of otherwise. It beats killing them.
