I bought this little bird to join my little chick family and I don't know what breed it is, any ideas?

Thanks,

Kelly

Hmm...hard to say. There's alot of birds that look like that. I would guess maybe speckled sussex because I think I see some white coming in.

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

Thank you! this is my first time with chicks and I am  so excited to have any at all that it doesn't even really matter to me what they are.  

I have 6 all together and they are 11 days old.  I have 3 silkies, a barred rock (the only one of my incubated eggs that hatched) the one in the picture and one other questionable (I think it might be a buff of some kind). Here is a picture of that one today, (it found a worm to play with).

Definitely a Speckled Sussex. :) The other chick looks like a red sexlink to me.
