O MY...they really may be Asian chickens..

Can you possibly call TSC and ask them where they ordered their chickens from?

This is all I could find.
Looks like they are in New Mexico?
I do not see Asian anywhere on the price lists.

The clearly state the do NOT keep records of what breeds they ship out and to who.
So i would guess it would not help to contact that hatchery.

Based on what Purely says i'd say you have some nice chickens:::

Asian Blacks are very rare and hard to find, but will surely become very popular as they are an ideal chicken for backyards and homesteads as well as larger production farms. They are hardy and adaptable and get along fine with other breeds of chickens.

Production: Asian Black Chickens were developed for production, and they do not disappoint. Females are solid layers of 200-250 brown eggs per year. Males make dependable meat birds. Asian Blacks mature faster than many heritage breeds but a bit slower than the classic broiler breeds. These are reliable and worthy all-purpose chickens. Asian Black have been shown to do well in both confinement settings as well as in pastured environments.

Temperament: The easy going yet energetic temperament of Asian Blacks make them ideal additions to any flock.

History: The Asian Black Chicken is a newly developed breed in the U.S. These birds harken back to the great and ancient Asian breeds such as the Langshan. The Langshan influence is very apparent looking at the Asian Black, but the Asian Black is a stockier bird with more production potential. This is a perfect breed for adding some extra diversity to an egg or meat flock.

No problem...that's what most of us are here for..to help.
While you are here can I recommend something else?

Of course!

No offense, but this...

Asian Blacks are very rare and hard to find

is simply because they're not a breed, they're a mix the hatchery came up with the last few years. Do a search on this site for Asian blacks or Asian blues and you'll see several threads.

I do believe it's a moot point, though, cause those little chicks look like barred Rocks. Unless the hatchery has now mixed something barred in their "designer breed".

Those are barred rocks maybe your feed store thought it would be more enticing to write that they were Asian but feed stores usually by bulk of the cheapest chicks barred rocks , Rhode Island reds, red sex links etc...
