Those are pretty weird


 

Could it be moulting?

I am crazy about a lot of things. Chickens, reading, writing stories, and most importantly my King, Jesus. :D

I say rule out turkey completely, that thing has no snood.

 

I'm almost 100% positive it's a chicken. Looks like it doesn't have a tail, blue legs, funny colored... EE. My almost positive guess. The more I look at it, the more I think yes.

It's a baby chicken going through that feathering in stage....... Geesh. Not an EE cause their are no puffy cheeks.... It's probably a game or game mix of some sort.....

this CHICK is an american game chicken possibly hatch blueleg or straight blueleg .these are bloodline names. it is very independent because most of those gamebirds are raised survival of the fittest and will care for itself at a very young age. i have one that is almost identical.sorry no pics available.

X2    Certain lines of American game fowl are bred for blue legs.  Some say this color comes from Jungle Fowl ancestry.  Game chicks are feisty, independent, and can get airborne  as early as 2 weeks if properly motivated.

 

Google (Images)  American Game fowl blue leg  and check out all those blue legged game birds.

Didn't even think about the game end. I'm going to have to x3 that thought.
