Need to know breeds of my hatchery chicks

They are hatchery birds, so who knows what they really should be. I wanted Lunch and Dinner and my 5 year old grand daughter told them to add Breakfast and Snack. She was only supposed to get one and Snack was the one she kept bugging me about. Don;t know how I ended up with both of them. LOL

From what I understand, its called Chicken Math! LOL It happened to me too, I ordered 5 SS chicks from the Rural King and walked away with like 10 chicks, I was trying to figure out how in the world to sneak the 5 extras in without anyone noticing.

I also have a real problem going in and just looking and talking to the folks about certain breeds, before I know it I'm giving up my cell # and saying call me if ya get any in and.......... they do!

I know it well. Wanted chickens again a few years ago. Just 3 -4. Had to give up my whole flock when we moved. 31 hens and pullets and 2 guineas. This time I figured maybe just an even 2 dozen. Chicks don't count and quail are so small they don't either, so maybe just a few more than my last flock, or maybe 20 or so. They move, who can count. Have most of what I wanted in the beginning, but dang! There's so many breeds out there. It's not my fault! LOL

Good than I'm getting better at breeds. I was affraid to ask, is this this and that that. LOL

She's so small I was pretty sure and how she is. Now if I can get a definate on Snack. I just keep going back to Bantam Wellie. I have some, but just managed to hatch out another roo and he just went in with my hens last week. Just been a while since anyone here was a chick. Guess I need to spend some time learning some of my other breeds before I get into them and stop hovering over the others that I know better.
