Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

[wermnmnmnm]

Oh my, you sure would... I fell asleep with mine on the couch for hours... just make sure you have a paper towel under them if you do that. I actually miss that since they have moved outside. I only have 4...

Hola Meyer fellow Meyer folks! So new to chicken raising, but bf has raised before. We ordered 25 rainbow pack from Meyer and received April 15th, based on the 25 we ordered that were part of the pack, we believe we have two RR roo's. We also ordered 2 buff orph roosters based on reviews. We definitely have some mystery chicks, 4-5 black goldish girls. I have been told they might be Cornish and maybe a Barnevelder. I believe we have the following breeds, Barred Rock, Welsummer, Easter Eggers, Buff orph, Rhode Island Red, Delware and ?. Any idea?

- Little One she is an EE

- Honey another EE

- Possible Barnevelder?

- suspected roo

Wow! They are all so pretty. I think I see a GLW or two in there too. That RIR does look like a roo.

thanks and what is a GLW? Gold lace Wyandotte? Is that the girl on the left in the second to last picture? Thanks for the compliment, funny before owning chicken I never really appreciated their beauty, but wow their feathering is amazing!

Yes, gold laced Wyandotte. And I'm guessing that it is either one or both in that picture. I have not owned one, so purely a guess.

They all are looking so great. I have to say, I think the CCLs are my favorite. Although, the polish are cute too (I never thought so before!) and the BCM. Oh, I can't wait...5 more weeks till my Meyers babies arrive!

I'm so bad at telling breeds when they are younger unless I had them. Yes, RIR is a rooster. Do I see a Welsummer 9th pic down? Does Honey have green legs? if so, yes EE and she's very pretty! But the pic 2nd from the last look like 2 EE's. So maybe you have 3? To me, the one you think is a Barnvelder looks like it to me too but I never had one so not positive.
Good luck with your new girls and boys! So much fun isn't it?

They are all so healthy & happy! No issues at all! The CCL are so beautiful...but so are the polish, blue orp, BLRW, BCM, heck all of them! Their little personalities are so great. The Meyer's bunch are starting to get their big girl wing feathers! Gidget flew to the edge of the brooder today to tell me how upset she was with me about washing her feet.

I think Coco is trying to practice crowing...he/she is making some god awful racket in there! Brownie is getting sweeter and sweeter by the minute, but I'm still not convinced he/she is a girl yet!

I've been working on painting the inside of the coop - 3/4 of the way done. Will do touch-ups during the week. The egg lid crashed down on the arm today - apparently I didn't have the latch fully engaged. I've got a nice bruise & lump started. Oh well...at least it wasn't the small human!

The one under Honey's pic looks like a Gold Laced Wyandotte. I just got my 1st one - they are supposed to be super sweet & good layers. The one that looks like a Barnvelder looks like all the pics I've ever seen of them, but I have no experience with them. From the back, the one that you suspect is a roo...I'd have to agree because of the tail and saddle feathers.
