I was so worried about them, but got the call at 9:30 this morning.. so happy! All 10 are happy and healthy. Picking up some blue birchen maran chicks this weekend too.. can't wait!

Ok, so these girls are all brown egg layers.. I've been able to identify the Delaware, but the rest I'm not so sure.. the brown chipmunk looking one might be either a SS or Welsummer, the white might be a Plymouth Rock, Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Buff Chantecler, or Buff Orpington... I have no idea... Red Star perhaps? Legs and beak are fairly light in color.. the mainly black ones could be Australorp, Jersey Giant, Marans, Barred Rock, or Dominique maybe? Seems like there were 3 types of mainly black chicks there.. Thoughts? Sorry the pics are fuzzy...

The black ones with the white spot on their head are barred rocks and the black ones with the whitish chest and cheeks seem to be Australorps.
Have fun with your new babies and post more pictures

If you can tell what these are, your pretty good. I've have all three, Aussie, CM's and Dom's. The Dom's will have rosecombs and will look just like a CM at this age, except for the comb. What I did and I suggest everyone do is print pic's of each breed and post them over your chicks.
I can assure you the one with the blck stripe on it's head is not a Del. BO's will be more orange. Anyhow do the pic thing.

All the best Rancher
