UPDATE NEW PICS-Hope they're Buckeye pullets?!?!

[Rt66Kix]

My feed store didn't sell all their chicks, so I was given 5 pullets today. They said they are Buckeyes. However, last year the same place sold me 6 EE pullets; one turned out to be a roo !

What do y'all think? Also, they're in my garage with a heat lamp, and the temp in the bottom of the cage is 70 F. Does that seem ok? They've not moved around since I got home with them at 2PM. It's now 11PM. They seem fine and alert...not shivering or panting.

Not touched food or water that I can see.

Their probably shut warming up from the chilly car ride, and getting used to their new home. See how they are in the morning. 70 degrees sounds good, seems like they have a lot of their feathers, so guessing 70 degrees is about right, I have no facts to back that up though, just a random guess.
Can we get individual pics of them to tell gender? Probably take them tomorrow as not to stress them out.

I think you might be in luck. Those do appear to be Buckeyes.

2 or 3 aleast have single combs. So those ones aren't Buckeyes.

I see three with single combs.

Good point. If these are hatchery stock though stranger things have happened.

Absolutely.

OP, post pics in a few more weeks. That should help.

You have great eyes! I couldn't tell that.

I have an SLW who still turned out nice but has a Single comb. They still could come out as beautiful Buckeyes!

Their heads are completely feathered with no bare skin showing or signs of a comb coming up. I bred parrots for years and these chicks have smooth heads like adult parrots (at least for now!)

Here's new pics w/o the heat lamp on. Thanks, y'all!
