Hi All! Here are the pictures of the babies I picked up at the P. O. yesterday. I orderd 25 got 27. My favorite one died already and it was my fault!
(The whole sad story is on the "Emergencies" thing.) But I am trying to get happy again. Spent several hours in the "nursery" with the babies and am feeling better and know how to be much more careful now.
I got a couple of mystery chicks I was hoping to get help IDing....
This one has a poof ball on her head:
Then there is the yellow one with black stripes on her back:
And here are some of the rest, RIR's Barred Rocks, and Black Australorps:
I'm not sure how to tell the difference between the Barred Rocks and the Australorps, I'm guessing since I ordered 5 the Australorps are the five without any yellow on their heads? A couple of those have a lot of yellow on their bodies still, and I have some with barely a yellow dot on their head and no yellow on their bodies.
What is this one:
I love them all!
