Okay, I have had my chicks from Ideal a month, and still have no idea what kind of birds I was sent. I plan on calling in the AM. They are supposed to be a Wyandotte assortment.
So, in the meantime, here are some pictures of my 2 "special needs" chicks who are getting ready to go out to the coop with the other babies tomorrow.
Any ideas on the breeds?
First pic is for size comparison. These chicks were sent the same day. Note the size difference.
Here is my mini chick - a bantam maybe?
The wing feathers:

From the side:
Here is the black chick. She/he was spraddle legged, and is now doing well after a week or so on a duct tape splint.
Wing:
Face:
She/he had no interest in the camera, so the top pic of the two is the best side view I could get.
And, just because it was a darn cute pic:
So, any ideas, sex or breed, would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks-
Em
