I ordered 25 last year and got 3 "free" - (watch that - i got two roosters) * but! the roosters are a dominique, very docile and a beautiful lakenvelder, they also get along very well. i received solid white crested polish, black white crested polish, 1 silver lace polish, 1 white cochin, black faced spanish, sicilian buttercups, hamburgs and a golden laced wyandotte!
I am so glad this post is here. Please follow the link to check out our free "chick" that in now a hen. She was yellow with dark stripes (2) down her back as a chick. She lays darker eggs than my Australorps and NHRs. There is a pic of her egg there as well. Please let me know!!!
We got our MM order on monday morning. Our packing peanuts were a second Partridge Rock Roo and an extra Barred Rock female. Here is our exotic chick and I think it's a White Crested Black Polish.
unfortunately it was my one disappointment from MM - the chicks are great and healthy - but I ordered 25 plus one free rare and they sent 27 total, with an extra of two breeds I already ordered, so no Mystery chick. I thought one was they mystery chick and it turned out to be another EE.
I ordered 8 buff orps - sent 9
8 cuckoo marans - sent 9
9 EEs - sent 9
I was hoping for a cool surprised, but oh well. They certainly gave me my money's worth and they are all lovely chickens now at almost 14 weeks.
