What breed are these cuties? Splash?

The barred pullet definitely looks like a Dominique, it has a rose comb. I think the two you posted look pretty girlish, myself, but time will tell. I agree it would be highly unusual for any hatchery, including Meyer, to make that many mistakes, so just give them another month or two. I looked at a lot of their pictures and descriptions, and they offer several mixed breeds, so if they aren't Swedish Flower Hens then they could be Olive Eggers, or another of their green egg producing crosses.

Thanks! You're right, we specifically ordered a Dominique. She wasn't a part of the rare assortment.

Doms are usually really good layers, good foragers, very capable of taking care of themselves. They aren't usually very cuddly (there are always exceptions), but they are good dual purpose birds.

Also just for fun, they sent us a blue or black splash polish in the assortment. Shes very small, half the size of the rest, and hilarious. Never had a polish before but now I want more!

Is this one 11 weeks also? Because that looks like a cockerel too. Oh man, either they seriously messed up or I can never rely on comb color and size anymore.

I'll have to disagree here. We ordered 24 chickens, 1 roo 23 hens. Half of the flock already have combs like them. I also ordered Dominique specifically not barred rock. Her stripes are much more defined and vivid than a barred rock.

I can definitely be wrong about the dominique. I always get them mixed up.

Yep! 11 weeks same hatch day. This chicken is about 2lbs or less and maybe 8 inches long lol. Almost the size of a bantam but a bit larger. I'm sure she'll grow bigger.

I'm sorry but I think they sent you a bunch of cockerels. Those combs and wattles are huge and red compared to my 16 weeks old australorps. And australorps are a breed that develop a little early.
