What kind if chicks did my husband bring home????

[Aunt Angus]

I see light feathering on the first. That one is a Black Copper Marans. The second one looks like a male Sapphire Gem. Last two look like Barred Rocks depending on leg color.

Post pics at 6-8 weeks to confirm.

Dang... I don't see feathered feet. I don't doubt you for a second, but my eyes are not what they used to be. Good catch!

Thank you. I hope its not a male though.

Thank you. I hope its not a male though.

I can't think of any other blue barred bird with yellow skin other than a Gem. Barring = male with those. They're sex-linked.

Definitely post updated pics though! Hatcheries are constantly pumping out new mixed breeds.

I don't think so. BA's don't have feathered feet... I think you've got a Marans.

I would be happy with that too. Thank you

By golly, you're right! I missed the feathered feet! (Small pic on my phone). Hanging my head in shame, lol.
