What did I really get?!

I agree they are not six weeks yet! Also there are no Barred rocks and unlikely RIRs! I also think there are a few Roosters in there! Hope you can Keep them!

Charming! I don't really care about what they are breed wise but I didn't really want any boys let alone more than one!!

I would Say it looks like MY EE I have a video of it at 3 days colors are close to the same..

Yeah those look just like buttercup chicks but the chick in the photo looks more speckled and less uniform to me. That's just me though.

I contacted the lady I bought them from asking her for more information. Maybe she ordered a bunch of chicks of other breeds too, might help the process of elimination.

So if there are multiple cockerels, at what age will I have to try to find new homes for them? i.e.. when do they start fighting? I'm so sad about this!!

 

[Irishhenman]

cockerels that are raised together are a lot less likely to fight so if you are aloud to keep more than one you should probably be ok but boot 14 or 15 weeks old is about when they start to become sexually mature and will become a bit more agressive

It depends i have 3 with 7 girls all been in same pen/brooder since i got them at 1 week old
The roos are 10 weeks a little puffing but no fighting only 1 is crowing but they are all purebreds from breeder

 

[hannahshatchery]

ok we will just wait and see. i am going to try to get more pictures of each bird for a better breed/sex evaluation too.

You can usually tell at 4 to 5 weeks

I'm seeing that some of them possibly have pea combs........could some be EE?

 

[hannahshatchery]

Just checked my old emails. They were 5 weeks when I got them so they are 7 weeks now.

Ok here they are one by one
