Whysaywhat's 2021 Flock!

[WhySayWhat]

Photos to come as they are on my phone and I am not.

We ordered 15 chicks from Meyer Hatchery, 14 arrived alive and well, 1 was DOA, because I ordered mostly "hatchery choice" assortments, I'm not 100% sure what breed perished, but will be contacting the hatchery tomorrow as we near the 48 hour mark and I can properly fill out the "loss form".

Everybody has 4 toes, no 5 toed chicks...only 2 have feathered feet, the rest are clean legged.

What I ordered:
1 Golden-Laced Wyandotte
1 Delaware
3 Easter Eggers
5 Rare Breed Assortments (this list had about 57 varieties of what they considered "rare" breeds)
5 Production Pack chicks (mix of not rare breeds)

Photos...I have a few “educated guesses marked. Will add in groups. A few have names already, most do not.

1-I thought was a RIR, but her feathers are coming in “weird”...no idea what she is now.
2-pretty confident this one is an EE, but who knows.
3-
4-
5- TBD

6-feathered feet, 4 toes...using the hatchery filter, this one is a White Cochin, if she had 5 toes I would have lucked into a Salmon Favorelle, lol.
7-EE? She seems to have a wound (or maybe poop) stuck to the back of her head. It has a funny “ear” of fluff sticking off, but just on one side, I’m sure this will remedy itself and she’ll look “normal” again soon.
8-TBD
9-feathered feet, 4 toes...Light Brahma.
10-TBD

 

[WhySayWhat]

11-TBD
12-Lavender Orp? I can’t be that lucky...but I can hope!
13-Maybe my GLW? Maybe just a dark EE?
14-TBD
15-DOA, but I’d like to know if she was my GLW...I only ordered 1 (should have ordered more).

Oh man. I have no idea on the DOA.

Oh man. I have no idea on the DOA.

Yeah, it looks just like the stock photo for the EE...like they gave me those 3 (I'd rather lose 1 of 3 EE over the single GLW if I "had" to lose one though).

13 have names now...

1. Reba (RIR)
2. Carmel (EE)
3. Buddy Bird (PBR?)
4. Peaches (no clue)
5. Muffy (short for Muffin because of her cheeks) (Am or EE?)
6. Lovey (White Cochin)
7. Praline (EE)
8. Lady Eggsalot (Splash Orpington?)
9. Penguin (Light Brahma)
10. Unnamed as of yet (no clue)
11. Shadow (Jersey Giant? She's maybe 5-10% larger than everyone else, but it's noticeable!) - slight crossbeak, I think it may be an injury because it showed up when she was 7-10 days old.
12. Sassy (short for Sassy Pants) (no clue)
13. Goldie Hen (GLW)
14. Stella (Delaware)

Everyone has a name now…guess they have to stay.

Also, photos of our cats (Lois and Clark) and dogs (Váli, my staffy, and Nugget, my son’s PomChi).
