I appreciate all the pics here on BYC, so I thought I'd share our crew!
The first group is currently 2 weeks old. Purchased 6 from Tractor Supply (TSC) June 4 (hatch date June 1). 4 Easter Eggers (labeled as Americana) and 2 Cuckoo Marans. We will be sharing 3 of these with friends in a week or so. It will be hard to say goodbye to them!
We have a second batch from Meyer Hatchery that we picked up yesterday (June 15). 2 Buckeyes, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte and 1 Meal Maker (free chick of Meyer's choosing for donating eggs). We think this is a Speckled Sussex or Welsummer. The family got excited about it being a Welsummer, but I am leaning toward a Speckled Sussex. Either way, we are excited!
Next (and final for now) batch will be picked up from Meyer Hatchery July 6th. This will have 2 Barndelevers and 1 Olive Egger (ordered before we picked up the EE from Tractor Supply).
We may have bitten off more than we can chew with the different groups of chicks.

I’m happy to take pics of certain birds or parts of the brooder / coop if anyone is interested - just let me know!
