I DID IT... I got 6 chicks today!

The birds cant be both straight run and pullet. Straight run means a mix of male and female birds..usually 50/50 but can be different. Also the colored chicks appear to be Lakenvelder chicks.
Good Luck with them!

Awww... They're so sweet!

Wish I could help you on what the black/yellow ones are. I'm not sure on those ones though. Maybe someone else can help there.

I personally had terrible results with straight run from TSC last spring. Out of 12 chicks, I only got 4 pullets.

I also second SamG347 on these looking like Lakenvelder chicks! I just looked Lakenvelder's up and sure enough! They look just like them! Neat looking chickens too!

Oops, excuse me, I meant to say "assorted pullets" not "straight run" for the yellow chicks. The colored ones were the straight run. The employee was pretty sure there were some Cornish Rock pullets in the bunch of yellows... hope not.

Help! I'm out of control... I just brought home 2 more chicks! An EE and a New Hampshire Red. But this is IT because I am at my absolute max capacity and can not get any more chicks!

I'll post new pics in a little while.

yeah! you did it! congrats!!!!

 

[Robin'sBrood]

Yes, I did. I thought about adding 2 to 3 to my flock and wound up bringing 8 chicks home in 4 days!

IF they're all female and IF there are no meaties in the bunch then I will be going from a flock of 4 to a flock of 12.

Here are the babies...

The new crew - 4 mystery white birds (possibly Cornish Rocks), 2 Silver Lakenvelders (?), 1 New Hampshire Red, 1 EE

The newest two, the NHR & EE

Looks like you got a few meat birds. The whiteish yellowish ones look like cornish crosses. The reddish one looks like a new hampshire and I'm not to sure on the colored ones. Thats my opinion anyway.

Good luck on the babies! Have fun.
