Some of them look like my Golden Comets did at that age...the darker gold ones. How sweet that they like you already!! Mine all acted like I was a Flying Purple Chicken Eater when I first got them!!

I hope they are GC's, mine are so sweet and quiet!

They look just like my golden sex-link babies I got last week.

Buffs don't normally have striping, do they? I've never had one as a chick, but looking at photos...

My guess is Red Stars/Sex links... or RIRs.

Congratulations Lynne... you are now a full fledged chookie-mum!

I second golden comets, my feed store got them in and they look exactly like this.

 

[kodiakchicken]

Sooo cute!

My buff was much lighter and a very solid yellow color. No striping, no variation at all.

Congrats!!!!! Now I just want to know when your second shipment will be in because you can't just stop at one!!!

 

[bungaree chickens]

yay! so happy for you, I just got RIR's today...and I love 'em already. There is something too sweet about baby chicks!!!

It's a good thing I ordered only 12 because I can't imagine NOT getting more next spring. I think they're in such good shape because they left the hatchery at dawn and arrived just before the buyers at 9 am. The bottom of the box was warm and the cheeping was pleasant. We'd had an excellent day all are eating/drinking/clean and active. I love how they move aside when I lift the lid on the brooder but move to my hand when I slowly lower it to them. They peck and lick, so I've continued dipping my finger in the water and urging them to come to me.

I showed the pics to a local guy who had birds from the same co-op last year though the source is different. He couldn't make up his mind between golden comets and red sex-links, maybe I have some of each!

Thank you so much for looking and commenting. I feel very good about getting them, and so pleased to buy local without too much stress on the babies.
