Just got in a bunch of pullets today. Not sure of some of the breeds. Any suggestions would give me a good idea to start with:)

1 looks like 2 but is smaller

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10
 
numbers for each pic are below so do u mean 6 is a buttercup and 4 is a cuckoo maran?
 
Here are my guesses: :)

1. I'm not sure. Look at two's guesses. Unless, they accidentally put a bantam in the mix, but, as far as I know, they can't tell banty genders. Maybe just a 'runt'??? She sure is cute though!!! :)
2. Brown Leghorn or Welsummer
3. Silver Lakenvelder
4. Black Cochin
5. White Cochin
6. Silver or Gold Campine
7. Barnevelder or Partridge Rock
8. Blue or Splash Cochin
9. White Leghorn
10. Silver Lakenvelder or Silver Hamburg

Your light layers would be the Leghorns, Campines, & Lakenvelders, while your surprise pullets would be the rest of the breeds (although, they could include light pullets, as well) :) I hope this helps! And *pretty* please keep us updated! :)

Ok after going through Ideal's avalable hatching list heres the break down

number 2 is probably a Danish Brown Leghorn
number 3 is still unknown. Ideal doesnt carry Silver Lakenvelder
4 and 5 are black and white cochins
number 6 unsure because Ideal doesn't carry Campines
7 MY FAV! is probably a Partridge Plymouth Rock
8 is a blue cochin. Ideal doesnt carry splash
9 is a standard white leghorn
10 is unknown. Ideal doesnt carry Silver Lakenvelder or Silver Hamburg

I sent pics to Ideal customer service and they will give me there best guesses probably Monday.

Thanks for your help!!!!

to create a splash you breed blue and blacks id blue is breed to blue then half of the offspring hatched will be blue and the other half will be splash (should also get some blacks) also even if they say sold out they still have chicks hatching they just dont have enough chicks hatching to fill large orders so they put sold out on them

I never knew that before! Someday, I would LOVE to order a layer pullet assortment. :)
