Our farm reputation procedes us

Ok, so last week my dad got an e-mail from a total stranger asking us to take some baby chicks that they hatched because "I heard you have a farm".

Apparently, this city slicker bought 12 fertile eggs and rented an incubator from a farmer as a birthday present for his 2 year old daughter and now that the chicks hatched and the fun was over he needed to get rid of them.

So now we have 9 chicks that I have no idea how old they are or what breed they are and that I don't really want.

My guess is that they are about 2 weeks old.
Here are the pics, any idea on what breeds?

The bunch in the last pic look like leghorns. But I'm just taking a shot at it.
And that 'city slicker' deserves a smack I say!

Your Dad is a good man for taking them in. They are very pretty chicks, esp. the first two.

tamberlin- Yes! My dad us a very good man, he would never turn anyone away.

Oh, I hope they aren't leghorns....they seem like very nice chicks, not at all flighty.

Very interesting that a "city slicker" with no chicken experience came up with a 75% hatch rate.
