those little brown ones are SOOO sweet...

I haven't seen any like them!! can't wait to find out!!
you think the little yellow ones are orpintons?? do they have any feathers yet??

Barely any feathers. They are all so cute. The only have Crele, Jubilee and silver laced Orpingtons. I think only the Jubilee's are yellow. I hope they are.

Only heating pads under the bedding. I removed the stickers just in case it was taped on.

Clean legs. Dark eye liner. Some of these have pale spots on their heads.

Check under their bedding!
When I ordered chicks, they put all the paperwork (and electrolyte powder, grogel, etc) underneath the bedding and I thought it was forgotten or in a separate package until I took out all my chicks!

was this a "random 12 pack" or did you get to pick any breeds? They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Yes, random 12 pack. There was only heating pads under the bedding. But thanks forthe idea. The chicks were packed really well. 3 cups glued to the sides with grow gel. 3 heating pads under the bedding. I am very impressed. I tried sexing by wing feathers but it looks like all but 2-4 are female. I know I am not that lucky. I am thinking the last 6 might be female Rhodebars but none look like male Rhodebars.

Greenfire doesn't have black sex links. I was thinking Marans but the only Marans they have are Birchen. I think the Birchen chicks are more grey than black.
