When to expect MPC chicks? *Pic. heavy (p.4)*

[joamos2]

I have no clue what I have. Is there a good post on baby pics or another website to help with identification.

I've been checking out feathersite, but chick photos are limited.

Here are some updated photos 1 week old....

Wow, 5:15am huh? I'm expecting some next week and talked to my PO last week, telling them they could call no matter how early. I wasn't thinking it would be before about 6:30 though

Just talk to them ahead of time....tell them when to phone you (if a small post office, they'll work with you). All post offices are different... I didn't wait for the call. I left the house at 5:30 and was waiting at the P.O. for the truck to come in @ 6:00...lol.

Man O man- All those peeps are toooo cute! Mine (from MPC) are 8 wks old now- and its shocking how fast they grow. I would say now they are the size of big pigeons. So take lots of baby pics- cuz they grow up sooo fast. Enjoy, congrats and have fun!
ps- the human baby was cute too!

My little ones got here this morning also with no fatalities. I want more now. Here are the 25 RIR I ordered

Mine arrived this morning as well! They are currently at a friend's house, cause our car is broke down. So she went to get them and will bring them home on Saturday when she comes for the chickenstock
She sent me one pic of them to drool over

I was told that the silver striped chicks could be silver-spangled hamburgs, so it will be interesting to see how they feather out!

How cute and exciting. Do you know what the others are? Very many EE's? What are the pale yellow ones?

I'm impatiently waiting on my 25 Rainbows that ship 9/21.

The yellow ones are most likely white leghorns, though from the pic a couple look like they have orange heads. I don't know what they are. I hope they aren't sex-links, those aren't purebreds and would seriously aggravate me.
My friend said there are only 2 that look like BR, and there are some that look like EE. But the ones she is thinking are EE are the brown striped ones, which could be EE but could also be brown leghorns.
Obviously there is one buff orpington.
There is one at the top of the pic (center) that is silvery spotted and black? I wonder what that one is? I can't wait till they get here so I can look at them better!
I hope I got some EE, those are the ones I really wanted! Didn't want to order 50+ chicks (for BR and EE), so I went with the rainbow pack.
