Just in identifying my mystery babes. I have some experience on a much larger scale with white leghorns and ducks; but these are my first home flock. I have already found a ton of help regarding my one with pa






sty butt. She is teeny tiny but doing much better this evening. I got three red hybrids (I'm assuming) and three mystery (to me) gray/white black gals with fully feathered legs. The guy at tractor supply had no idea just called them all "breeders choice". The grays are more docile than the reds that seem much more high strung. Any ideas on what breed(s) these are? Thanks, Leslie

Awesome! I'm just going to have to get the hubby building a bigger coop.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Chicken math at its finest! Very cute chicks. The feather legged ones look like Cochins, maybe blues/blacks/splash. You might post their pictures on the What Breed Or Gender Is This forum for help with figuring out what they are https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Welcome!! I'm new to this site too. I started with 2 and ended up with 14 over the past 3 months

I am totally chicken obsessed and my poor hubby is being very patient with me. Looking forward to seeing your babies and learning together. Have already met some FABULOUS peeps on this site! Enjoy!!

The red ones look like Road Island Red X's .

Welcome to BYC!

Adorable babies!! And yes, feed stores can be dangerous places this time of year. All that peeping really gets to you when you are pulling chicks out of bins!

Yes, follow the link to the What Breed section here on BYC for lots of good ID.

Enjoy your new babies and welcome to our flock!
