Meyer hatchery chicks coming through the smoke

Oh, and they ate ALL the food I put down for them, I had to give them more.

Exchequer leghorns.

Or Anconas?

A barred cochin? I am not sure...has feather feet

Cuckoo Marans? Some hatcheries have them with feathered feet. Usually less feathers than on Cochin feet.

RIR fry pans or buckeyes

Rhode Island Red should have single comb, Buckeyes should have pea combs.
You might not be able to tell when they're this tiny, but it should become obvious as they grow.

Totally following this thread. I ordered from Meyer today and it's the first time I will have chicks shipped (my others came from a feed store).

The Ancona's have darker backs. I looked up the chick ID in meyer's pag, the one I was not sure of...it is a silver laced cochin

give them the jell packet Meyer sent?

They have zero interest. But she is already looking much better. Dipped her beak in water 4-5 Times and then just let them warm up. They were really cold when they arrived

that could be.

Cute chicks! I love chicks, but they grow so fast !

I have some Cream Legbar and Ameraucana eggs in the incubator due next week and also have an order for 3 assorted Rare Breeds from Meyer for next week. Thankfully, I'm in Houston, so the smoke hasn't gotten here, yet.

It has a gray butt saddle, not in this pic.
