Hi, my name is Erin and I live in Colorado Springs. I got my first group of 4 chicks, a Gold laced Wyandotte, a Barred Cochin, a buff Wyandotte and what was supposed to be a Buff Cochin, but is not, on February 17. The Buff Wyandotte and the Gold laced Wyandotte have hardly grown, I will put pictures in. Could anyone tell me what the chick is that is light with dark feathers. The mostly black chick,( barred Cochin) and the yellow chick, (Buff Wyandotte), and the light with dark feathers,( was supposed to be a buff Cochin), and the dark small chick, ( gold laced Wyandotte) were all about the same size when I got them. Now there is a considerable difference. Then about a week later, Feb. 26, I got a Buff Brahma, a Americana, and a Partridge Wyandotte. They are all doing good, bigger than all but the barred Cochin from the first group. I just have one question about them the Americana, and the partridge Wyandotte look almost the same except one has darker feet. Do you think there was a mix up? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.

I'm no good with chick IDing...but I know this much: Different breeds can grow at alarmingly different rates! As long as everyone seems healthy and happy, my inclination would be to not sweat it!

You have beautiful little chickies...congrats!

And good luck with your breed ID mystery!
 
I'm feeding them chick starter, non medicated. The man I got them from said to use the non medicated, but from what I have read I should have used the medicated.
