Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

Here is the chick with the black beak with white tip. Any guesses? I should have a BA and a Cuckoo Maran, so any of my black ones could be those.


This one is grayish brown, have no idea what she might be.


This one may be a blue splash something, but no feathered feet. Maybe the Blue Andulasian?


Thinking this could be the BA?


Then this one looks like one too?


This is the one I thought was the Blue Andulasian, possibly I have one regular and one splash?


No idea on this one? Does not match any I ordered. So maybe a rare egg layer or an extra, since I have one extra.

Aw, I'm sorry your baby Campine didn't make it, Lynn! I don't remember what your order was or I'd help with IDing, but any of the black ones that have a spot on the top of their heads will be barred or cuckoo (so barred Plymouth Rock, Dominique, Cuckoo Marans, etc.). As I recall, my GL Wyandottes were like your Columbian 'Dotte but black and orange, not really chipmunk striped. That was 3+ years ago, though, so I don't remember for sure. (I think I see your GLW in the first picture you posted, so I'll point her out when you post individual pictures. :) )



MsChickenMomma, your EE is 100% girl. :) Boys won't feather in that pattern. Also, those curled tail feathers aren't boyish.

Hika Ma has some nice sickles coming in if you want to compare. He's also a week younger than your girl, so you would definitely know by now if she was really a boy. ;)

:lol: I guess I was typing when you posted! Okay, here's what I think:
Does this chick have fluffy cheeks? Could be an Easter-Egger.
This one looks a lot like my GLW did as chicks.
She is definitely blue splash colored, probably a splash Andalusian if you ordered some of them.
They look slightly different, so my guess would be one is an Australorp and one is something different. Jersey Giant, maybe? Does one have a spot on its head?
This one is definitely blue, and probably another Andalusian.
This one kind of looks like a BLR Wyandotte. ETA: Oh, could be a partridge Plymouth Rock, too! ETA: I went back and found your order, so here's what should have been in your order, right? Black Australorp Buff Laced Polish Columbian Wyandotte Cuckoo Marans Easter Egger Easter Egger Golden Laced Wyandotte Light Brown Leghorn Light Brown Leghorn Meyer Meal Maker Rare Egg Layer Rare Egg Layer Salmon Favorelles Welsummer Blue Andalusian The one that looks like a BLRW could be one rare egg layer, with the second Andalusian likely your second rare egg layer. I'm not sure on the rest, it looks like you got an extra Australorp or something? Obviously, not all of them are pictured. This is my best guess at all of them, anyway. :)

The top one kinda reminds me or the GLW we ordered last year (she didn't make it) and the bottom one reminds me of our Dominique from the same order.
This was our GLW and Dom, maybe it will help....

Sorry about the one that didn't make it.
 
Pip: That would be neat BLRW, I thought maybe a Partridge Rock too, but that's not a rare breed, I don't think, since I have the one extra and meal maker, I guess anything goes.

Pip and the Howards: I was thinking an entirely different one was my GLW, now I am really confused. I'll get more pictures tomorrow and snap one of the one I thought was her to see what you guys think.

Thank you for your help! -Lynn
 

I was thinking the little colorful striped one above the chipmunk one was the GLW, maybe it's an Easter Egger?
 
These two are a little over a year old.
Susie and Pepper from last years order.

These girls are 14 weeks.
No specific name but called Red, well all the cinnamon's are called Red cause we can't tell them apart.

She is the most nosey though.

two of the cinnamons aka Red and Red
Lulu our little cochin. She is the friendliest although still hard to catch. She is alos quite curious. A few Reds behind her and Jezebel the SLCochin.
Lacy (Lav Orp not a Meyer bird) and Mo. Her head feathers look crazy cause we trimmed them so she could see better. Some came in after the clipping but they don't bother her vision so we let it be. She is our resident looney bird. Lacy is the head hen in our flock, no body messes with her.

Lulu next to Lacy. Lulu looks to be the same size but she is mostly fluff. Some Reds in the background and Penelope (from last years order) a Buff Brahma.
 
Sorry about your Campine Lynn. I'm not much help with the guessing game this time cause I suck at telling the black and white chicks apart and the only ones I knew were either wrong or you already guessed. Could the white one be a blue splash marans w/o the feathered feet? Someone here ordered 5 black copper marans and she had 2 w/o the feathering.

Okay good! I have never had EE's before, and they are so much different than other breeds that I've had.

Hika Ma is so beautiful. I love his coloring. :love

Lynn: Im sorry your Campine didn't make it. :(
