I ordered this winter since a weasel took out my flock, my coop is weasel proof now and weasel free currently. I am going to brood else where. I hatched out some great chicks and wanted to add some colors to the chicks I have. I ordered rare breed straight run, to see what I get, also I wanted to check out the roosters. I checked out the weather, and it was 52 degrees in Cleaveland where they fly out of, so I knew the flight,/mail would not be delayed. They came 48 hrs after hatch. Only one so far is pithy so I have it separate. All got electrolytes and egg yolk water and chick feed. I put my smallest chick in the brood box from my other hatch to show them the ropes.
Below is when i opened the box.
I have...
2 dark blue chicks Feather feet.
Smooth feet on below, plus smaller chick.
A red chick, who is not rare but was free flock protector. I am going to call Red.
i have 4 clean legged lavender looking chicks, and one with feathered feet. (not shown.)
2 chicks are blond with black spots One has more spots, I am naming them > and <. Unless I come up with something better.
1 is golden laced wyandotte, poss. 2 SFH.
3 blue laced red wy.
a black chick
and 2 stripe-y chicks that both look different.
Below is when i opened the box.

How is the weak one doing? I assume that's the one face-planted in the box. You opened that box just in time so hopefully saved it!
