I went to the feed store today and picked up some chicks, none of the ones I had on my list of wants though (guess I should order next time).

I ended up with 4 - Americauna pullets, 3 - Black sex link pullets, 3 - Light Brahma pullets, 3 - Lakenvander (sp?) pullets, and 3 - mysterious??? The 3 mysterious were supposedly Sicillian Buttercup pullets, but they don't match the picture or discreption of those chicks. Any ideas?

What can I say, I am getting them used to having all that room for free-ranging

They seem to like it, they aren't complaining, and I think it helps to keep the big guys from squishing the little guys (I think I have a 1 week range in ages in there)
 
I have a yellow chick/white wing feathers like yours that I got at TSC...mine is an Amberlink, that might be what yours is too.
 
Thanks cuckoo, I couldn't resist them. Can't wait to go to the other feed store tomorrow to see what they are carrying. I didn't get any roosters, or anything on my wish list

The last pick should be an Americauna in the front, my questionable one has her head picking up in the back.

SunAngel - what color legs does your have? I have only seen one pic of an Amberlink chick, and it's legs looked like a different color. My legs match my beak, kind of a light orange...

Thanks everyone for the comments...It was so hard to choose. I wanted DP chicks that were good winter layers and hardy for my area, if these don't work out, I'll get more next year.

My MIL went with me to help pick out, and she had to go for the underdogs. 2 of my chicks are questionable in health, one missing fur (black sex link) and a runt of the mystery breed...
