The question was asked in another of my posts about what kind of chicks I had been sent as "heaters" can someone help I.D. them for me?

They are the black ones.

Thanks

They look a lot like Ancona chicks. They're white egg layers, generally black with white speckling as they grow older. Sometimes you'll see one that's more of a splash (lots of white with black splotches). Males and females get huge combs, males have huge wattles. They feather and mature quickly, so you should be able to tell the boys from the girls in a couple of weeks.
