I got 14 today with my 8 duckies!! I think they are either RIRs or production reds. I'm hoping some might be pullets but if not they are DINNER!! I already put the kids on notice "DO NOT NAME THESE GUYS, THEIR NAME IS DINNER 1-14!" Either way is fine by me. I was surprise by the number but up in Albuquerque, they are expecting a blizzard and these guys came through there. I thought about trying to rehome them but the last time we had extra roosters(9) we had a hard time trying to find someone to take them.

If ours turn out to be all roos, they're heading for the dinner table. This is the first time I've ever gotten packing peanuts. My son named them all peanut. lol

They call the "extra" chicks you get in a small order from hatcheries packing peanuts. They can send you a few or in my case a whole lot!

I do think a few of them are pullets though by their stance, headshape and behavior.... here's hoping

Does getting the completely wrong order and getting to keep 150 fuzzies free of charge count?

We ordreed 150 layers and got 150 meaties instead. Apparently the wrong labels got slapped on the boxes. Boy were our freezers full that summer.
