I was hesitant to order chicks by mail, but when I had such a hard time finding the breeds that I wanted I took the plunge. They made quite the trip from Idaho to Florida! All survived thankfully and are eating and drinking. Now time to determine which is which breed😳😀 Harder than I thought it would be!

I ordered 5 of each:
Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Welsummer
Starlight
Cream Legbar

Any guesses on the ones that look very similar? 🙂

Thank you!

Somebody picked up 12 out of the 20 yesterday and I kept 8 for myself. We had the hardest time deciphering which was which and we are still unsure. As they feather out, we may be swapping if I didn’t get what I wanted lol. I know for sure which are the wyandottes and one of the starlights. There are five more that look very similar. Does anybody have any insight into which breed is which? I kept two of each breed, so I’m looking to identify two cream legbars, two welsummers, and one starlight. My other starlight was a yellow chipmunk pattern. I know they can vary. I’ve attached individual photos of those 5🙂 Ty!
