Maybe they sent you one of their "rare breeds" or got something mixed up.

yes stuff can happen will get some good group pictures to post tomorrow.. and see what everyone thinks..Maybe they sent you one of their "rare breeds" or got something mixed up.
Ah, I see. Good info.arrt will get some pictures tomorrow as the good light is gone for the day.. The first batch of 15 Wellies (7/25/2026) all dark and typical of what the chicks are suppose to look like when they arrived and still dark several weeks old now..
The golden chick batch (8/22/2016) started off the same normal dark welsummer marked, only noticed the one that seemed grey that I posted earlier in this thread (his legs are not white they yellow). The order was 15 Welsummers and 15 Black Australorps in that order and again forgot to uncheck the free exotic chick box so I thought the grey one was the free chick. There is a more variety of light and dark types of browns for the Welsummers in this second batch now .
I do consider McMurray trusted have always gotten nice birds/fowl health, temperament, and breed type from them over 16 years. not saying there isn't something wrong with this batch breed type wise (stuff happens it would be a first for me buying from them) when the arrived it looked ok to me.. except that grey one stood out with the others being so dark
Make sure they all have plenty of space...integration of new birds can be stressful and tricky.Thanks, yes straight run and this is my first time with the Welsummers.. finding them very sweet and friendly. Can't say that for the New Hampshire Reds as they have gotten older, they are first on the butcher list, down right mean to the babies that doesn't work in my barn lol...
