sunrise surprise chicks from Ideal

[chicken quartet]

I just got my chicks today from Ideal. I got exactly what I ordered, no extras.

My chicks from Ideal turned 3 days old today, and they are all what I ordered. Pure Barred Rocks. I got 12 instead of 10, but one died so now I have 11. I think Ideal is pretty true to their orders....

The Easter Eggers are bred from other Easter Eggers LOL, as pure as an Easter Egger could get.

The eggs are bought from various breeding farms that keep large flocks of individual breeds; they do not crossbreed with the exception of intentional hybrids.​

Ideal has an offer(or at least had) called sunrise surprise, they send whatever extra chicks they have you could order straight run/ or just roos or just pullets in any number you wanted....I ordered 25 roos and 8 pullets , these were ordered in addition to a few specific breeds that i wanted, I will post some pics

I don't know how Ideal runs their breeding farm, but I've gotten an occasional cross breed out of a straight run pick. Take this fellow for instance:

I got a mutt from MMH. I'm still trying to figure out what he is. At first I thought a Delaware, then a Columbian Rock. Now I'm thinking he is a BR mix.

I bought 8 RIR's from my feed store a month ago. The owner said they came from MMH and they are supposed to be all RIR's. Well ------- I have 7 little cute as can be redheads and one blonde in the group. There is no red to her at all, I can not figure out what she sure is , but she sure not looking line a RIR. She looks almost like a BO or a GSL . The picture I took of her at 3 1/2 weeks she was as blonde as she is today and I have racked my brain as to what she could be.
