Hello everyone! 30 Baby chicks!

[bprestin]

Hello Everyone! We live in Lebanon, Indiana on about 6 acres. We just got 30 chicks from Tractor Supply and Rural King. We tried to get pullets but they weren't marked correctly and lots of chicks were mixed in different containers! We have no idea what we've got. Except we know we have 4 barred rocks and maybe 7 New Hampshires. We are building a 8x12 chicken coop with a run that goes out towards the garden. We have 2 Golden Retrievers so we don't think we can let the chickens free range but are going to try to train the pups. We are only going to keep one rooster. I'm looking for an auction or something near here where we can buy and sell chickens/roosters. My husband is wondering if the bird in photo 476 is a quail or something. It looks totally different than all the other chicks.

I'll go along with Sourland. I've known him since I started on BYC and have not had any reason to doubt his bird wisdom. He is also a great "speller."
