hello! Hoping you can help me ID breeds and genders for my 6 week old chicks from Meyer Hatchery. 5 are part of the rainbow assortment, 5 are part of the rare breed assortment and 1 Meal Maker. In theory I should not have more than two of any breed. Let me know if you need more pictures! I have included my own best guesses.
1. Poppy, Easter Egger pullet?
2. Buttercup, unknown pullet? Edit: Red Sex Link
3. Lilac, Lavender Orpington Pullet?
4. Daisy, Easter Egger pullet?
5. Posey, Egyptian Fayoumis, possible cockerel? Has started chasing and picking on the other girls.
6. Sunflower, unknown pullet? Edit: New Hampshire Red
7. Dahlia, Barred Rock pullet?
8. Rosy, originally thoughtBlack Sumatra but now I have no idea, since she seems to be keeping the white feathers. Pullet? Edit: Ancona, hoping this explains her big comb!
9. Dandelion, unknown pullet?
10. Magnolia, Lavender Orpington cockerel? I guess this just because he is still so dang raggedy and he stands with his head further back over his body. Anybody know why he looks so terrible? Lol
11. Iris, Speckled Sussex pullet? Edit: Russian Orloff or Swedish Flower Hen
So pretty
Thanks for your help! These are my first chicks and I’m in love. Also very anxious to know what they all are!
