TSC Chicks.... Want a few more! Help!

Very cute! Find out what hatchery they came from, and then call and find out what bantam breeds the hatchery carries, and what colors. Then it should be much easier to ID those chicks.

Its Hoover hatchery. I checked the website, no photos of the chicks. The people at the store were no help regarding breed.

Call the hatchery directly; store staff won't have a clue.
On the Hoover website, they should have bantam breeds listed that are available.
feathersite has lots of chick photos online, look there too.

So cute! Never had bantams before good luck with the new babies!!!

The darker 'yellow' ones have feathered feet.

They look exactly like red cochin bantam chicks, down to the weirdly paler head. If they have a single comb and no muffs, that cinches it for me.

EDT: picture of frizzle variety from Murray McMurray. Common breed, but I love 'em.

Hoover hatchery doesn't have much in the way of bantams, makes it pretty easy to narrow down what you've got. Looks like you've got two Buff Cochins, two Black tailed white Japanese, and two Black breasted red Old English Games.

It's a vicious cycle...Someone wants chicks. They post on here that they want chicks. People chime in to enable. BYC addic--Ahem. Innocent readers begin to think about chicks. They chime in on the thread. They are encouraged. They buy more, and begin their own threads. The cycle continues.

Really, TSC should fund us.

Agreed. TSC should fund us
