Mystery Meat ;) jk

[DiggstownChicks]

I've got a new shipment of baby chicks in and they weren't marked!

I need help figuring out that they are? I'll post pics here in the following weeks (?), maybe this will turn into a fun game instead of a frustrating mystery?

Olivia is black on top and grey/blue sides and underbelly. White speck on nose.



Carrie is black down the top and white sides.



Lizzy is buttercup yellow with feathered shanks



Leah is sleepy. I'm sure she is the white silkie



ALL ARE BELOW:
Top here is Lizzy (buttercup yellow).
Bottom is Elaine.
Left to right:
Leah (white silkie), Connie (tiny blue/grey and black), Carrie (white and black), Wendy (tiny red), Olivia (black with blue/grey) and Lillian (chipmunk stripes)


Another of Elaine

Thanks for the help!

Hmmm I'd say Wendy is your red silkie. Olivia is probably your blue silkie. Carrie looks like my exchequer leghorn did as a chick, but she might also be ancona. Either Elaine or Lillian are the penedensenca or cochin... the cochin will be super fluffy with feathered shanks, and a bit larger in size. Lizzy could be white sultan, but looks more like white cochin with how round she is.

Cute! I miss that fluffball stage!

This is Kung Pao, my exchequer leghorn, at about 2 weeks:




And at about 5 months:




She's one of my favorite ones, so sweet and friendly!

 

[DiggstownChicks]

I <3 Kung Pao LOL! What a cute name

Here's an update:



Here are some of the 1.5 week old chicks "assorted" I need help with ...

This is fun isn't it?

This is Connie, one of the two smaller ones.






Lillian






Wendy (pretty sure she is our red silkie)






Here's Lizzy, buttercup yellow and tiny




Elaine




Carrie, I am assuming she's an Ancona?
She's also the most inquisitive and friendly. (and the biggest)






Olivia:





Poor sweet (sweetest) Leah is now RIP. She was the white silkie. Our dog thought she was a toy















Ok, here is my order:

1 - White Silkie Bantam "Leah"

[Smoochie]

I had to laugh at your "Mystery Meat" as they are usually "Mystery Roosters"...

 

[americanvalkyrie]

I still say Connie is a blue silkie and Carrie is an exchequer leghorn. Kung Pao's spots didn't come out until she was very close to fully feathered. Her wings were very solid black and white until the end. But Carrie might be ancona as well. They're so similar in breed.

I still think Lizzy is white cochin. Olivia = partridge cochin. Either Elaine or Lillian are the partridge penedensenca. Do either of them have feathered feet?

Neither Elaine or Lillian have feathered feet
