I’ve made a whole thread about how I was never going to get chicks from TSC again after receiving zero of the breeds I wanted a few years back, but, well, here you go. I have four 6 week old chicks, and I have been DYING for them to get old enough to post them here for gender confirmation. I was VERY particular about precisely which chicks I wanted, and the poor TSC employee, bless her heart, chased those chicks around those new brooders forever until she nabbed the ones I was eyeing. Hopefully her persistence paid off (for me) and I got the pullets I wanted.
1.
This chick was sold as a Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet, and I believe this breed is accurate based on the photos I have seen of the SLW being sold at feed stores this year. My son named her Maniacal because of her villainous mustache, and I sure hope she‘s a pullet because he adores her.
2.
Sold as a Light Bahama pullet, and again the breed is correct. No evidence of wattle development so hopefully pullet is also correct.
3.
Sold as a straight run “Ameraucana” but I’m pretty sure it’s an EE. This poor chick is no one’s favorite. Very flighty and prone to panic despite daily, loving handling. The only thing that makes me suspicious about this one is the slightly pointy looking hackle feathers. Sorry chicken, but I won’t cry myself to sleep if you turn out to be a cockerel.
4.
Sold as a straight run “Ameraucana” but also likely an EE. This chick’s name is Sadie and if she’s a cockerel I WILL cry myself to sleep because I love her. So, anyone want to take some guesses on what I’ve got?
