Ideal Hatchery Surprise Arrived - Want to Play?

[deanawo]

Want to play guess the chick? I ordered the hatchery pullet surprise from Ideal.
I ordered 25, & I think I am counting 28 so am guessing I got 3 peanuts. First chicken order, so I have no idea what is in here:

Congratulations! Sweet little crew you have.
Maybe some rhode island reds? What did you order - or was it a variety pack?

The little one with the racing stripes down its back can be a Golden laced wyandotte.

The Brown ones are Rhode Island Reds, The Yellow ones could be Buff Orpingtons, and the chipmunk one is a brown leghorn or welsummer. The two black ones with just a tiny bit of Gold are Golden Laced Wyandottes.The white ones could be white rocks, white leghorns, gold comet, or some other type of white breed. Surprised you didnt get barred rocks.

Cool! Good Luck with raising them! Any name ideas?

I got the same thing as you! But, 3 weeks ago! For the most part they were all sexed right. I do have 1 buff orp rooster... but he always comes up to be petted... so ill keep him.

here are some of mine grown up a bit

Just realized, i need to get new pics of them!

CONGRATS ON YOUR BABIES!!!!

OH thanks! My son has claimed the chipmonk one. Bless 'em the boys have named them terrible things - after transformers, pokemons, and bakugons. I am hoping that wears off and they end up with normal names.

I think the brown ones are rhode island reds, and I'm pretty sure the one with "eyeshadow" and has dark stripes is an easter egger

Hey, my first chickens (eleven or twelve years ago) were named after Pokémon! I still would name some after Pokémon, too, except lately my new birds just aren't fitting the Pokémon names. My first rooster was Pidgeotto, and then my first four hens were Spearow, Fearow, Pidgey, and Farfetch'd!

I want to get a silkie or a showgirl and name her Altaria.

Your chicks are adorable! Best of luck with them, and may they thrive!
