Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

[SlipsWife]

What are the standard sized feather footed birds that Cackle sells?  I have about four chicks that are white with feathered feet.  On first glance I said Cochin.  Today I noticed they don't have a straight comb and their wing feathers are coming in splotchy black.  Four toes, pink skin. Help!  lol

Light brahma?

This is the white guy with eye liner, anyone know what he is? His legs are turning from yellow to a greenish.

What kind of comb?

My guess if he started white/yellow with grey is White Jersey Giant.

Just a single comb.

On cackle white jersey giant chicks are black and white though?

Anyone getting guineas in their surprises lately?

I've been gone for what feels like forever because I have been working non-stop for five weeks without a break!

How are the chicks all doing? I lost one, a silver laced polish that was fragile from the beginning. It wouldn't eat or drink and slowly wasted away; wouldn't even eat when I hand fed it. The other SL polish is fragile looking, smaller than the others, but doing well.

Anyone want to tell me why one of my rouen ducklings is like three times the size of the other one??? DS1 is convinced the bigger one is a boy, but I am concerned that it is because the other one is sick/genetically inferior/not well/something!

Ive had some ducks just not thrive. They don't grow, and they act fine, but one day they just die. I've tried all sorts of things - vitamins, niacin increase, extra food. No idea what causes it, but they just don't live. It's sad.


They usually die fairly quickly, but one year I had 2 ducks 3-4x larger than another, until they all disappeared. We went on a trip and came back and they had all disappeared. But the duck thrived for weeks.

One of my muscovy ducklings is waaaay smaller than the other 7...hopefully it's not the only female lol!!!

Recieved email saying ship date is Wed. 25th. So they should be here by Fri.
(I had a dream last night that I opened my box and all it had was a single baby platypus!) LoL
