"Peanut" chicks?

There was no list of what I had when the package arrived. I did order "brown egg layer assorted hens"....so that's probably why.

Exchequer Leghorns are more gray, but it is hard to tell with that picture, I think it is an ancona.
Packing peanuts are usually extra boys, but not the healthiest ones, I got many that died from genetic problems, and a few that didn't crow until they were 24 weeks old and looked like girls.

So far all peanuts are healthy and have a good size. They are actually very sociable even more than my other chicks. One peanut just follows me everywhere and wants to be in my hand every chance he/she can get. Now that I look more closely at them (they are a week old today) there are 3 that look like they have combs forming...does this mean roo's or am I just paranoid now???

Nooooooo!!!!! It's been 15 years since I've killed and cleaned a chicken!!!

I guess it's a good thing we have a huge smoker...

I am willing to bet that the ones marked with the red are going to be roos. When mine came it was marked like that.
