I just received my baby chicks from Meyer Hatchery today. They arrived all alive, only one had pasty butt, but seems to be doing much better now. I am pretty sure I know what breeds they are but anyone want to take some guesses just for fun?? I could be wrong!

Chick 1
700


Chick 2
700


Chick 3
700


Chick 4 (has feathered legs)
700


Chick 5
700


Chick 6
700



Love my chickies already! :love :jumpy
 
Chick1- black Australorp
Chick 2- Rhode Island Red, what kind of comb does she have?
Chick 3- Easter Egger because of slate legs
Chick 4- Black Cochin, on second though she is probably a Black Copper Maran because of the white feather
Chick 5- BLRW
Chick 6- Partridge Plymouth Rock or EE

I think chick 2 is my BLRW. She's the lightest and has a blueish/grayish tint to her chest.

Chicks 5 and 6 are giving me trouble. I thought chick 5 was a partridge rock because she has a few dark markings on her back. Chick 6 is a Rhode Island Red? It looks too dark though!

But that's what we ordered...

I agree with Veer67's guesses, but I could be wrong.

I think so too. But the feathered legged bird should be a BCM. That's the one chicken that I really wanted for the hatchery! Lol
