Hello Darren, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Sorry about you losing the couple of chicks. It's a tough way to get started. Shipping is really hard on them. The rest of them look fantastic and I don't see any early hints that any of them are cockerels.

BTW, we are called Chicken Tenders.

I can totally relate to both your chores/punishment and being chased by roosters as a kid!

Love the make-up of your flock (you have some of my favorite breeds), and sorry about your losses. Will the hatchery replace the Black Ameracauna that was lost in shipment?

Welcome to BYC; hope to hear more from you as your little ones grow up -- maybe you will even decide what poultry label fits you best!

So sorry for your losses. Looking at the picture, I believe it was the Easter Egger you lost. The Wyandotte is the one standing in front of the piece of wood in the middle.

Thanks for letting me know. Some of the breeds are easy to ID. A lot though look the same to a novice.

We opted for a refund. Thinking of getting two pullets to replace the lost chicks.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Congrats on the new chicks! You picked some wonderful breeds. ❤ I am so sorry for your loss, shipping is rough on the little ones.

If you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask. Welcome to our community!

The big box farm stores usually have easter egger pullets in the spring. The tractor supply here require buying at least 4 chicks, but not all stores do.
Good luck leaving the store with only two!
