Got my new chickies today from MPC!!!!!!!! All eight were healthy and happy. I thought I was going to be able to tell what every one was, because they are all very distinct breeds. This is what I ordered: 2 Blue Andulusians, 1 White Plymouth Rock, 5 Easter Eggers. I know the first one is the Blue Andulusian,and since no others look like her, I know I only got one of those. I also know that the last four chipmunk looking ones are most likely the EE. It is the three yellow ones in between that I am not sure about. The first yellow is very solid bright pastel yellow. I'm thinking that is the White Plymouth Rock. However, not sure about the other two yellows. The second yellow is actually a bright orange yellow, and the third yellow, has a tinge of grey on him and a tinge of green on the legs. Maybe another EE?

I did tell MPC if they needed to substitute, my first choice would be a duplicate of the ones I ordered. My second choices were Brown Leghorn, Golden Campine, or Silver Laced Wyondotte. Nevertheless, whatever they end up being, I am totally in love!!!!!

I have been holding off getting a duck for so long. Now that I have a good set up, I couldn't resist any longer!

I think your third chick may be an EE too - looks like it has muffs and a beard.

Pickles is awesome, hahaha!

I want some ducks so bad. The only problem is, my neighbors have a pond and I don't, so I'm sure you can guess where my ducks would end up.

Get a fatty like Pickles. Aside from being cute, Pekins are one of the heavier breeds that don't fly so well. At least so I'm told.

Yes they had a heat pack. I was really surprised I got them so fast. I live on the West coast, and I think they came from midwest or over in the eastern part of the us.
