My chicks came!!!!! PICTURES!!! :)

I picked up my 15 chicks this morning at 830 from the post office. I ordered 12 brown egglayers and 2 rir (1hen 1rooster) and then they gave me 1 extra. I got them from Meyer hatchery!! They all seem to be doing well. Theyre all eating and drinking. I just can't figure out what the are. And I don't know how to load pics.

4 are black with yellow butts and chest, 9 are yellow/tan and 2 are brown I think those are my rir. There all chirpy and some sleep. If they all bunch up does that mean there to cold or do they just do that? Hopefully i figured the pics out!!

thinking these are my RIR?? One rooster!?

My Brooder!!

Congratulations on your new chicks! I wonder if the black/yellow are australorps?? They will usually tend to pile that first day or two. If they're piling directly under the hot part of your lamp, you may need to adjust your lamp or bulb. But if they're piling a little off center, more at the edges of the lamp, that's pretty ideal. Within a few days they should start spreading out more...

Thank you!!!

they were piling over on the side. It's about 96 in there right now but I keep messing with the lamp. Lol. I'll have to look those up. Is it hard to tell the yellow ones apart? Bc there's 5 yellow and 4 tanner ones. They keep falling asleep and almost falling over. They are the cutest things ever!!

Nice brooder!

Could the chicks be Australorps and RIR's?

They're cute anyway!
