Could someone identify these chicks for me? I've posted the pics In the what breed is this forum and I've gotten no response.

I'm new to the chicken business but that looks like a Black Australorp.

Thanks for all of the responses! You guys have been helpful.

If you bought the chicks as "pullets" from TSC, my guess would be Black Sex-links and Golden Comets, another sex-link.

I personally don't mind what breed they are. I just didn't want Cornish x or another "meat" bird. Thank you again for the quick response.

You would know if they were Cornish X by now as they would be much larger than the black chicks. Meat chicks grow very fast.

That is what I've read. I've never owned chickens before now and I don't have a reference point for comparison.

Any other east Kentucky people know of anywhere to trade/buy/sell chickens. Other than the paintsville stockyard. I'm from Martin county.

Howdy I'm in Floyd co. The stockyard is about it close by. Pikeville tsc tried to have a few trade days but I don't think they have had any this year

Anyone from the louisville area that sells bantams?

I'm at least part time from Lawrenceburg! Can't wait to go to the swap the 7th in the new location! Hopeful I'll have a better idea of which chicks I'm keeping before then.

Thanks for asking, and sorry for the late reply. We're probably looking for somewhere around ten. Give or take a few, depending on what's available and what we determine the final coop size will be.
