Chickens rock!mysocks :

I am pretty sure the yellow ones are americuanas. You can tell by the ear tufts.

EAR TUFTS?

Where do I look..besides their ears.

Hey there! I noticed that this was under the "pictures and stories of my chickens" Message Board. I didn't realize this before bc I got here by clicking a link from your original post when the babies arrived. I think you should post a link on the "what breed or gender is this?" MB, maybe you'll get more responses. Also: the dominique chicks will have a flat area where there is supposed to be a comb (rose comb), whereas Barred Rocks will have a few little bumps that look like serrations (single comb). Maybe the hatchery can tell you what is in their assorted pullets?

edit: I just checked meyer's hatchery assorted rainbow pullets for breed info, and I got nuthin'. Dang.

Maybe you are right..and no, these packs are created by left over chicks after specific orders are placed..I know it would be challenging

LOL

My Meyer Hatchery chicks are not coming until August

but the Welp catalog has a description for the chicks as well as the adults. Someone already mentioned this, but Murray McMurray has the videos of chicks of many breeds. Congratulations!!!

Oh, I know how bad the wait can be

I don't have a welp catelog and I did spend over an hour yesterday looking at those McMurry videos..I did learn some things..but it can still be so confusing. Meyer has very small pics of chicks in the catelog but it just doesn't show much...argh!

Here are the pics of my two black australorp chicks. (they are 8 weeks now but they were less then a week in these pics)

I am still as confused as ever...but I really appreciate you posting these.
