I bought a number of chicks, they were supposed to be a variety of pure breeds. Well, honestly, I think he must just be reselling hatchery chicks as most are not any of the breeds I thought I was getting. TSC, Princeton Purina Chows, 5-C's Farm Supply, Cackle Hatchery...everywhere else I have bought were better at delivering breeds correctly!
Anyway, I have posted this chick's pictures in a couple of different forums where people are trying to figure out the breed. After looking at a gazillion pictures, I am beginning to wonder if maybe it could be a breed of game fowl. It has a neck and legs like "a raptor", "dinosaur mix", "ostrich", "emu"!! LOL!
Think it could maybe be a game fowl???
It's legs and feet are a dark golden color with black across the front part (I read this was common in hens?), they are not slate,green,black. It is about 4-5 weeks old here. The whitish spots at the top of its wings is where it had two little scabs from another chick pecking it? They are all healed.
It is almost always the first to try to affect dominance (hopping up and down breast too breast with another chick? It looks like a show dominance to me!) If there are 2 other chicks involved iin that display, this chick runs to get in the middle of the fracas.
