I bought 5 chicks from a lady who had 4 rubbermaid bins full of them in her kitchen. She said she got them from Privet.
She took them from the bins that were labeled and wrote down hatch dates and types of chicks. But now that they are getting more wing feathers i am not sure I got what she said they are. I don't intend on breeding them but Id like to know what they are.
What I was told I got:
Black Astralorp
Rhode Island Red
Barred Rock
Red Sex Link
Buff Orphington
The two black ones are both getting white feathers, and the one that was red is not getting red feathers. Also, the one I think is the buff orphington its wing feathers are thin in the middle. Would you please tell me what you think?
Chick 1 (looks just like a little tennis ball)
