In the Brooder
Hey y'all! I ended up ordering some chicks online and received 18 beautiful and healthy little ones!
I bought a surprise lot and thought I'd be able to identify all the babies since the possibilities of what you could receive were listed, but I have a couple that's threw a curve ball at me. These guys came from Cackle Hatchery and their "Top-Hat" Special. I originally thought they sent me 5 Golden Spangled Appenzeller Spitzhaubens, but three of the babies are distinctly different from the two that are obviously spitzhaubens. I was also told that since I only ordered 15, and three were extras, that the extras may be a different breed and not a "top-hat" variety.
The pictures don't really do them justice but they are a very dark red color.
In the first picture, a golden spitz is on the right and it's on the left
