Nice job on identifying. I have chicks coming in May - do you think I will be able to tell the Barnevelders, Welsummers, Speckled Sussex and Partridge Rocks apart? What is the chick book you used to identify them?

Ok, I am wondering what kind of chick is the yellow one with the orange stripes by in the 1st picture you sent? The stripes are adorable!

Where did you order yours from?

i had an order at cackle and i did not want 15, so i found my pet chicken and i only had to order 8 - being in Tipton (which is north of noblesville). if you are in a major city, you only have to order 3.

yes, people think i am nuts and i live in an agricultural town. probably just b/c they do not see me having chickens. i cannot wait to get them. my father-in-law and i are building my coop. i will post photos tomorrow.

what did you brood them in?

I'm not that familiar w/chicks, these are my first batch! My "books" are internet pics & several hatchery catalogs

I could help you w/any of the types I ordered

Its my fave chick, an EE. She's so fuzzy and sweet. She'll let me and my ds pet her, as we hold her. She hardly sleeps, everytime I go into the garage, she's awake

Thanks - mine aren't coming until May. I will post pics when they come. I figure I will know soon enough what they are, but a lot of the chicks that I ordered look a lot alike in the photos I've seen!

Same w/me...several people have said "you just don't seem like the type"

whatever that means! Definitely post pics of your coop, I would love to have my free range, but my dog and neighbors, may not be happy.

My chicks are in a baby pool, w/paper towels as the liner and are in our garage. I may just move them to their coop sometime in a few weeks. My dh ran electricity out there so I can still use the heat lamps
