I BOUGHT NEW BABIES!!! PICS

[chkncrazy]

Well guys after a long debate I realized it's a pain in the butt trying to find started pullets around me and I haven't had good luck so I bit the bullet went to Tractor Supply and bought 6 new babies.... they had some breed I've never heard of before and I'm curious to see how they grow out. 2 Welsummers, 2 Amber links and 2 RHODE ISLAND BLUES LOL

Maybe the rhode island blue is related to the iowa blue?

They are doing good... a site said a RiR blue is a rir bred with a blue Orpington???? ....tsc alwyanhas these weird hybrids lol

 

[chkncrazy]

Well, could the blue and black be result of sex-link? Maybe the black is a boy?

They were in the pullet bin and the girl said they feather out the same but during the fuzz period the way vary in colour....lol hope it not a boy lol

I am on my first set of pullets. I got 2 "Blue Rocks"....that are definitely not both the same. LOL
1 I'm 99% sure is an Austrolorp.
My chicks look similar to yours, but not the same.
The second pic, I think they were about 12 weeks old

Vey nice!!!!!! Although Australorp chicks have white billies until the feather out... The kinda look like penquins....im curiois whatbmine turn out looking feathere out,,, i went to get some medicated chick crumble and brought my reciept and brought home anothe lavendarblack chick lolm

Some Rhode Island Blues are a hybrid crossing a Rhode Island Red and an Australorp or a Blue Orpington. Since they are a hybrid they probably don't breed true. Good luck with your new chicks and have fun...
