Idiot Receives 13 Males, Can You Tell Her What Breed They Are?

[Frazzemrat1]

If you get in touch with them with your order number they should be able to tell you what went into the box...

Ideal says on their website that they can't help with identifying breeds of the warmth chicks.

I've heard two stories like this. I might just order from Ideal sometime to get some free freezer camp occupants.

OMG! Did you order your chicks on April Fool's Day or something??? Or your ex works there, and thought, "Heh heh heh! I'll show HER!"

Wow. 13. Super lucky for you!

(I have no idea on the breed, but I appreciate the chuckle I got from your post. Good luck)

Might be April Fool’s... I called them and they basically said there was nothing they could do :/ I was really pissed lol. I was so overwhelmed with all of them! Thank you!

Wow, that's pretty bad lol poor you. Not an idiot, just manipulated
You should do something about it!

Dang right! I called them. My sister-in-law was PISSED! We’re a small farm...what are we going to do with 13 roosters??? They didn’t do anything though. My sister-in-law was like “SEND THEM BACK!” but I can make some profit through the auction place so alls good. Just have to keep them for another 2 weeks.

Docile, I can walk over and pick mine up. They don't fight....you may want to keep a big one. They get giant up to 12# plus and beautiful. Mature slow, takes about two years.

Post them on the website, if any BYC member local wants them, come get them......just an idea

Oh good!! I know brahmas are big boys! I love big chickens. We have a jersey giant female chick

I was going to! But my fiancé saw that auction thing and thought we could make a little money for our troubles and it wouldn’t be as much of a hassle.

Comb type please?

Sorry, I can’t tell :/ I just got them today.

They are big!

I love big chickens!!

Yeah! My dad and brother said that. I’m too faint of heart for that. I only want to kill mean roosters. But hey, if it works, it works!!!

They are very docile. Super sweet demeanor. I had two Brahma cockerels in with 4 other roosters. They never picked a fight with anybody and literally followed me around like I was their mother.

They get huge though. Basically like turkeys, but not turkeys.

Oh my fiancé is going to be happy!! I want turkeys so bad!! I can’t get them yet though; still living with my family lol. They’d kill me. So the brahma rooster sounds like a nice compromise!

Thanks everyone!!! <3

Sounds like you're in luck then, if you got Brahmas and a Jersey girl.

My Jersey Giant is HUGE! She was supposed to be a Black Copper Marans, but was mis-labeled. I'd never had either breed, so I didn't know any better -- but she kept growing and growing. I figured it out with her egg was a pale rose/beige, and she has yellow soles on her feet.

She's my most docile hen -- very loving and doesn't pick on anyone. All the others cuddle under her on the roost to sleep, and she "chhhhiiiirrrps" a little song at bedtime. Took her 7 months to lay her first egg, but she's very consistent now.

I have three BJG hens, and they all fit this description

Most of my new girls seem like a docile flock. I got a salmon faverolle, the jersey giant, SLW, ameraucana, barnevelder, cuckoo maran, and a buff orpington!! i’m going to see about getting an olive egger and a speckled sussex this late morning!

Of course they're docile, they have all those roosters kicking up the big fuss! lol

Sounds like you're going to have a beautiful rainbow carton of eggs every day, which is what I was going for. My egg customers love it, too. (very trendy where I live, but that's not why I chose my breeds). I added 2 Leghorns this year because I wanted more eggs next winter, and wanted to make my colored eggs stand out in the carton.

You're going to have SO much fun with all of these!

I think you may be right!! These boys are wild!!

That’s exactly what I wanted!! I chose the most friendly and good layers. Friendliness is more important to me than eggs, though I do plan on selling some with this new batch!!

Thank you so much!!!!
