Guess my packing peanuts

[ButchGood]

I received 4 turkeys today. I got 12 baby chickens with them. They are supposed to be all cockerels, but I'm hoping they messed up and threw in a pullet or two. Anyone care to make a guess what these little buggers are. They are defiantly smaller than the chicks I got back in March. Reddish golden little peeps.....really cute.

almost looks like road island reds

I agree. They look like our Rhode Islands did when we first got them. But the striped ones I'm not sure about. Maybe Silver Laced Wyandottes?

Golden laced wyandottes & RIR !!!

The striped ones are broad brested bronze turkeys. They others are chicks that got sent as "packing peanuts" for the turkeys. I also was thinking RIR, but wanted other opinions. thanks.

Deffinitly Rhode Island reds. Did you order from Ideal? I got the same packing peanuts with my order of silkies. So far they are all boys and almost 8 weeks old.

Yes it was Ideal. They are only an hour away from my house. So it looks like RIR huh? Abd it sounds like they are good at sexing....bummer. Well they are on a high protien diet with the turkeys, I guess the could make ok freezer birds.

lol I know right. I crossed my fingers as well hoping to get a female. Oh well I have plenty others. My plans for mine are the same as you, they will make great meals for the crock pot.
