Picked up 20 chicks yesterday for an awesome deal from someone who does an egg swap with all sorts of people (not sure if it is the egg swap on BYC or not, I e-mailed to ask but no response yet. Would love to give a shout out to her (her name is Kristie) on here though if she's a member...) Could not be happier with what I got and really excited to have the oppurtunity to raise and help keep these rare breeds going!
Here is what I got, and need help on a couple:
~2 Rhodebars and
~2 Crested Cream Legbars
(was told a pair of each hatched- Need help determining who's who.)
These two are banded the same, but both look like rhodebar males to me from pics I see online... what does everyone else think?
These two are also banded the same, and neither have the white dot, I think the one definitely looks rhodebar/ or cream legbar with the chipmunk striping, but the other one looks a bit different from pics I find online and more 'puffy faced'...
~5 Swedish flower hens (hopefully getting more end of the month!)
Does the front big one look more like a marans to you? I know sfh come in all colors, but the sfh all had red bands and this guys looks pink and looks like he has a different structure to him... I also had one Marans (seller wasn't sure- maybe blue/lav split) I got and it also has a pink band, maybe I am looking at them wrong and mixed them up or maybe got two Marans...
~ 1 Marans (possible blue/lav split)
~1 Icelandic (I am on her list to get more at the end of month or so!!)
Do they always hatch so tiny? Because I think this one was supposed to be two weeks old and it's a little peanut
~4 Coronation Sussex
a couple appear to have to much 'gold', maybe a mix up... supposed to be four of them and when i put them back to grab next group to photograph realized there was one missing from next group (e.o.) and found the ones banded for coronation actually had five marked as corronation, i didn't see it at first because I was only looking for four. So I think there is actually 2-3 CS I got and the others are e.o. or something else. What could the one with gold chipmunk stripes be?
~5 Euskal Oiloa- Basque
Only four shown because I think there was a bit of a mix up with coronations maybe...
Tell me what you think!!
