Hit up TSC today and purchased 6 chicks. I got 1 Bantam with fuzzy legs (the cutest and loudest of the bunch), 1 Cornish Rock (sadly, just read a post that talks about how those are meat birds

), 2 dark "specialty" chicks (one has yellow fluff on top of his/her head and the other is almost completely black), and 2 "Red Pullets" that are more of a burnt orange color.

I know the Cornish Rock is a meat chicken, and while I'm sad about his/her eventual demise, I'm realistic in that he/she will have a full, healthy life and die honorably. I also believe everyone should at least know how to kill and dress poultry should it eventually be a daily necessity.

My main question is: what the heck did I buy?? The bantum has fluffy legs and is VERY vocal, but because he/she was marked as a specialty and mixed up with others, I have no idea what kind of bantum it is. I also got 2 "specialty" chicks that are dark in color and appear to have skinny legs. I'd like to know what they could be, in addition to the two "red pullets." Pullets look to be small with little legs.

I'll try to post pics when work slows down a bit.

Thanks so much!

The one with "clean" legs and a poof on the head could be a polish (that's my best guess), but with no pics... Sorry to hear about your other chick.
