This little "thing" was sold as a BCM pullet at the local feed store. I caved and brought it home. By the 3rd week there was already a lot of feathering and it puffs up all its feathers all the time. There are some light slate colored leg feathering too. I'm a total newbie, so I have NO clue. None of my chicks have pink combs or anything yet, but they are all getting most of their feathers. HELP!!!! I'm starting to think I have a crossbreed- lol. There is also a LOT of copper color on the feathers.
I brought them home March 9th. I was told it was a week old when I brought it home.
this was at 2 weeks

, lol. So far NONE of my chicks have combs that are red. My golden sex-link is the only one who's starting to pink up and I KNOW that's a pullet!
