@MrArtathart Thanks for the heads-up about Murray McMurray! The chick didn't turn out to be a partridge when we processed him at 4 or 5 months old, but I'll check out their videos to see if we can figure it out...for our own curiosity, if nothing else. :)
your chicks are too cute mine are crested polish chicks and arrived today from a different hatchery called double r supply but am disappointed that one of them had arrived dead during their shipment
It's actually pretty common for chicks to arrive dead in the mail, no matter what company you order from. In our last couple of batches, even though they were all alive when they arrived, 2 chicks died the day after.
Chickens love grass and all sorts of veggies (not leaves from trees though). We've never raised turkeys or ducks - ducks need a constant source of fresh water, which is harder to deal with.
Umm, she is right, but, turkeys need to be kept as warm and dry as possible!! If they get wet enough, they WILL die. Ducks are easy to raise, they are water hardy, so hope it helps!!
Hello My Name is Hillary Martin I ordered 25 ones of that striped exoctic mone look the same i think he or she is a Silver Duckwing Old English Game ?
MurrayMcmurray has a youtube channel where you can see videos of the baby chick breeds. Your chick looks like a patridge.

@csbarrett14 Alas, we'll never know as he's been processed. Also, as a rooster, we wouldn't be able to tell by the eggs. :}

will chicken eat grass, leaves from trees, and how hard is it to raise turkey and ducks?

Hi Hillary, we have no idea what the striped one was, even after adult plumage. Sorry!
