Do yall have any idea what breed this is(not the barred rock but the center chick)? It came from McMurray and is about 10 weeks old? It was in the rainbow layers package. I have several others I cant identify, even after looking thru the catolog multiple times.

Thanks

Actually they do. They just call them Buttercups. http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/buttercups.html

I think the bird in question is a Sicilian Buttercup. She's got a buttercup comb, not a rose comb like Hamburgs have.
