My baby chicks arrived last Wednesday, so they are about a week old (hatched Sunday or Monday, shipped Monday from MPC). I had one DOA, and I've been trying to figure out which one is deceased.
The Delawares (2 of them) are easy.
The third yellow chick has to be an ee (she has puffy cheeks and none of the other breeds I ordered are yellow). She already has tail feathers.
Have I identified the next three correctly?
Golden Campine
Golden Lace Wyandotte (I'm calling her that from the coloring on her wings)
Welsummer
The last chick is a problem. She could be a Partridge Rock or an EE. She is lots smaller than the presumed GLW -- about the size of the presumed Campine (who is the smallest of the chicks). Her legs are dark (not clearly green, but definitely not yellow or white)
Any input would be appreciated. MPC thought from the photo of the deceased bird that it was either an EE or a PR.
