What are we? lotsa pics of 11 day olds

[Tat2d]

Hi, I got these chicks that weere hatched on April 11th as a hatchery surprise from cackle. I would really appreciate any help you could offer as to what breeds you see.

1. First is a turkey poult, I think naragansett or bbb.

2. Second is a mottled houdan??? five toes, little head poof and beard

3. Tiny little yellow chick, clean feet, no clue what they are

4. no clue on this one

5. ???

6. ???

7. ???

8. I have two distinct sizes of these, small and big, but they look identical

9. feather feet, feathers coming in on wings have blackish markings

10. feather feet, reddish tint on down

11. feather feet, yellow down

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh boy, that's quite a mix! Lemme see. I know I can't speak for all of these. #2 is consistent with a mottled Houdan; it's the only one I'm sure of. Is #5 a featherfoot? It almost looks like it wants to be barred in color. #6 is a blue featherfoot; could be a blue cochin. #7 is a black featherfoot, possibly a black cochin but there are other featherfoots that come in black. #8 could be EE, and Cackle lists bantam EE in their catalog as well, but the shanks aren't green and that kind of down pattern is consistent with several other breeds, so of all of these chicks, ones patterned like #8 have the widest range of possibilities. #9 may be a splash, and it's a featherfoot, so possibly a splash cochin, but if it has extra-fluffy cheeks then it may be a porcelain d'Uccle. #10 and 11, buff (probably) featherfoot--could be buff cochin, but again there are other possibilities with buff coloration and feathered feet.

Nice mixture of birds, though!

Yup, number 5 is a feather foot also. I have around 40 birds that survived the trip from cackle and I think I got pictures of each kind, but some of them are close to each other with slight differances. The chipmunk ones have a pretty good variety on the feathers coming in. Overall I am very happy with what I received, especially for less than 60 shipped. They are sending out another shipment of birds on monday to replace the ones lost in shipping. Now I just need to figure out these ones before I have more in the mix to get confused with.

Some of the ones that look like chipmunks have differant stripes around their eyes. Not sure if that means anything or not. Please help, I am lost here, lol.

The chipmunk striped ones look a lot like my Easter Eggers and #5 looks like my Silver Laced Wyandottes only your's has feathered legs.

I was looking at easter eggers and they definatley look like them. Are bantam ee's common? I have about half normal and half bantam size.

Judging by the vulture hawks and color on #5, I would guess a porcelein D'uccle. If so, you're lucky.

Not sure what vulture hawks are, but if it s D'uccle that would be awesome, I have a few of those chicks like that.

If I remember correctly Cackle does have bantam EE - so that's probably what they are, my best guess anyway.

#5 looks like a silver laced wyandotte. Don't trust my judgements though, im new to this whole chicken thing
