What might the top yellow and black chicks be? My first time seeing this sight nearly sent me into shock, it seems this turned out to be a sun bather. My babies at 3-4 days - bottom and at 5 weeks above. I am still not quite sure which breed many of them are, still learning.
Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan Do you know what breeds you received? Might be an exchequer Leghorn
Welcome to BYC, try posting a picture in this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this
that photo just about put me in shock also. I thought, why post a photo of a dead bird (some do).? Chickens really chill out when they dust bathe
Hello, Thanks so much for the reply, I do appreciate your input. I did not order leghorns, however I have listed 2 free exotics. I ordered - anconas, black jersey giants, new hampshires, columbian and silver laced wyandottes, speckled sussex, barred, buff and partridge rocks, black australorps,and araucana/ ameracanas. So far we have been able to identify both wyandotte breeeds, speckled sussex, all rocks and new hampshires. Have a pretty good idea which of the blacks might be jerseys and australorps, though we're not sure at 5 weeks. This leaves the yellow and black chick which I believe to be anconas, as does another byc member. This leaves me with 3 chicks unidentified. 2 of which have feathers growing on thier legs, quite different from all others. We searched and think they may be some type of brahma, however this would give me 3 exotics not ordered. I am 1 buff rock short so maybe by chance the threw in a third exotic. It has quite a large comb on it head, maybe a rooster, is similar to the feather legged chick, but no fethered legs. I t is much taller than any of the chicks and quite stands out on sight. I will try to upload a photo of the 3 odd chicks we have not been able to identify. Thanks Again unidentified bird on board center. Might this be a male? unidentified 2 at the door with feathers growing on legs.
