Hi

[Varagol]

Awww, those are so interesting. Wonder what they'll turn out to be. The hatchery didn't send any information along? Please post pics when they're gown. I'd love to see!
Looks like you'll end up with a pretty assortment in your flock.

I ordered 3 White Cochin hens, 3 Buff Brahma hens, and 3 millie bantams (Str run), the rest were hatchery choice. No idea on those.

Could they be mille fleur d'Uccles? Do they have feathered legs?
Definitely post pics once their adult feathers start coming in!

Oh I see. Yeah, those "hatchery choice" are really cute though!
Good luck figuring out what they are

I don't think so - the hatchery only had three when I ordered, and once I ordered they weren't available anymore. I've got four or five that have that black wedge on the back.

I'm starting to think I didn't get exactly what I ordered. I've only got five that are the normal "yellow" chick color, and a couple have feathers on the legs, all of the yellow ones made it, and I think (I'm still a newbie, so grain of salt and all) buff bramhas and white cochins look fairly similar? (I ordered three hens of each breed)

I did have two white crested polish that didn't make it. They were great the first 10 hours, then poof.

Sorry for the rough start, hope the others do well for you. Once they get a little older, you can post photos of them on the "what breed/gender is this" forum for opinions.

Best of luck to you.

When you chicks are 6-8 weeks old - post individual photos of them at "What breed or gender is this."

Thanks all. I need to read more about the forum before splattering questions everywhere first

Have a good day!
