Howdy! It's always better to have company while waiting, so welcome! Are your chicks all from white eggs? I am trying to think of black breeds of chickens that lay white eggs. Probably any of the Mediterranean breeds like that Minorca with the huge wattles. Really doesn't matter what kind of chickens they are as long as they are the kind that lay eggs!

Well, I'm no expert so I hope I'm not getting your hopes up too much. Check out the rooster to see if his legs are blue/slate and if his comb looks like a crumpled up folded sort of thing. If an Am, he would also have a beard and cheeks and no wattles. Unfortunately, there are a lot of roosters with that coloring and it's hard to see everything in the pic. You can also check the chicks for signs of EEdom. Green legs are usually a dead giveaway and they will have little pea combs that look sort of wide with a low narrow ridge down the center. Oh, and beards and fluffy cheeks too, but not always. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
If you want EEs, Cheeka's going to rolling in EE eggs this summer. She could probably be convinced to part with a few for you to hatch!

Bummer, just checked out the enlarged pic of the roo and his wattles are there clear as day. Sorry.Needing to get some EEs is a really great excuse to get more chickens, though! Who doesn't want more chickens?!
