This is Kira a blue silkie I think hen

And last is porcelain or cream idk named Freya who think is female.

Looks more like porcelain to me.

What breeding would produce a porcelain chick? She is just out of mixed flock eggs.

I don't have any but I think it's a lavender base bred with buff. Sonoran has them , I think.

She is probably just a mutt color then. Her dad is either blue or black, and mom is blue black or white. If shes white, then its a mystery color. Those are my favorites though.

I need to get this app and try it out. I looked in the Google play store and there are many options, do you recommend any one in particular?

I got from the google play store and it is Sound Meter version 1.5.9
It seems to work pretty well, oh and it's free.
There might be a better one, but this is the only one I've tried.

Everybody got a bath and and a crest/beard trim this week. This girl got a bit fluffier (how that's possible, I'll never know) but she still has a dirty face. She loves her cucumber and squash from the garden, and makes sure to put her whole face in it. Can't complain though, I love my little 'basketball' even with her messy eating habits.

Also does ideal send extra chicks with the order? I ordered 9.
I bought chick starter. 50lb. Lol so I may have extra.

The large hatcheries usually pack extra chicks in small orders. These extra chicks are usually unwanted hatchery cockerels to be used as packing "peanuts" to keep the regular order of pullets warm during shipment. Hope you have a home for unwanted cockerels and they can be any variety breed the hatchery happens to have on hand - sometimes even rare ones.

I have a stupid question if you have white hens and a white roo will all chick's hatched be white?
