I guess they weren't labeled and they didn't want to call the hatchery.
They're so adorable though. I bought 4 meat birds (cornish henxrock crosses, I think. not really important. They grow really fast though.) and 4 of these. And got 6 red sex links today, of which I wish I knew the parent birds.
I had better pictures, but the card in the camera corrupted when I went to download them :/ It doesn't like me.

It's my little birdie in the avatar picture. That one is the smallest one. Also, if the wing-sexing method works on them, my m-i-l got a rooster out of 8 she bought.

I think they're Australorps.

My tractor supply had these also. They told me they were barred rocks, but as usual they don't seem to know what they are talking about. They even had up a barred rock sign above them! I think they're Jersey Giants. They are so so cute. I only got one and I'm hoping it's not a roo. Mine has yellow bottoms on its feet. (It also sneezes all the time, which is a little concerning, though it acts healthy and no other chicks are sneezing.)
 
I got a better picture... I think it's the same chick, but I didn't do that intentionally, haha. I have 4 of this kind, 4 evil little cornish/rocks and 6 red sex links. Any other opinions? It's my new display picture.
