I ordered 6 chicks from My Pet Chicken this year, and 2 are from the "Assorted Rare Breeds". The first one I think is either a Barnevelder (except it's chest isn't that white, more grey/tan) or maybe a Golden Laced Wyandotte which looks more like it, but is not specifically in the list.
Chick #1: Dark brown with chipmunk stripe, and lots of gold spots on face. Lightish belly.
The second one I have no idea. The only breed I can find on their site that has a baby photo that looks like this chick is the Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam - but that's not in the list either, and is a Bantam, and this was supposed to be standards. The only other things I know of that have feathered feet are Marans (none of the colors look like this one) and Cochin (again, none of the colors match up)
Chick #2: Feathered feet, grey body, gold head.
Here's the list of breeds that are in the assortment:
Just for fun here are some photos of all 6. The others are 2 Exchequer Leghorns, and 2 Welsummers.
