I received my pullets today but included was 6 extra for "warmth". I think I have figured most of them out but not sure. I have now separated the black chicks from the rest. Here's what I ordered:

1 Golden Sex Link
1 Black Australorp
2 Ameraucana
1 Spangled Russian Orloff
1 Cuckoo Maran
1 BB Red Kraiennkoppe
1 Silver Lakenvelder

Thanks!!

Peeps are 2 1/2 weeks old today and are growing so fast. The new coop should be done in the next few weeks. I still have to paint and put my "windows and door" on. I am so eggcited!! Sandy thinks they are her babies and she is so cute with them.

Great looking bunch there!

Looks like you got barred Rock males for extras. They're going to look pretty much like your cuckoo Marans, but your Marans should have white/pink skin on the legs and feet. And, as they grow, you'll be able to tell the pullet from the cockerels around 6 weeks.

Thanks!

I only have one Maran and had no idea what the males were. So thank you for saying what kind the males are . Still not sure which one the Maran is.

Field Trip to the big pen outside. They all had fun and a few tried the roost out and a few took baths. They are growing so fast!!
