Guesses on this chick's breed? UPDATE on post #9

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 

Hello, hello! I recently bought a couple of chicks, one EE and one mystery chick. She is white with a few large black dots on her and a smattering of black/gray on the back of her neck. Age is about 3-4 weeks.

 

I am wondering if anyone would care to take a gander at her and tell me what you think she could possibly be? My best guess is a California White (wishful thinking), but I also wondered about a white Cornish or a Delaware. She does not have feathered feet, so Brahma is out.

Here she is, the white one in the back. This picture is the truest to her coloring that I could get.

One of the black dots is visible there near her tail.

Here's a view of the speckling on her neck. There also seems to be a little of that going on on parts of her wings (see second image)

 

Okay, I want to hear your thoughts!

It looks like a Delaware to me...but i cant be too certain...so don't go entirely off of what i say

“If loving someone is putting them in a straitjacket and kicking them down a flight of stairs, then yes, I have loved a few people.” "Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.”

People in Alaska don't tan, they thaw

Looks like a Delaware, but I also hatched out a sexlink cross last spring that looked like that, too.

I'm voting Delaware.  Just raised one for a friend and it looks the same.

Sounds good, thank you. I was just uncertain because I didn't know if Delawares had polkadots like that. Whatever she is, I'm glad to have her smile.png

She might be, she might be something else (such as a white or other production type bird)

 

 

If she continues to have speckling in a barred sense on her neck AND her tail, she's a Delaware.

Can't loose with either Delaware or California White.  Both are excellent layers.  I know they say California's have black spots, but none of mine have.  They look just like a Leghorn.

Hey, just an update for everyone. This pullet is about 9 weeks old now, and it is definitely looking like she's a Delaware! Many thanks, all! big_smile.png
