Can someone Help me find out what kind of chick this is???

[jwatts]

I just recently hatched a few of my own eggs yesterday. Now, I have (all hens) barred rock,speckled sussex, white leghorn, Araucana,rir, golden buff. My rooster is a mixed breed chicken.. The egg that this chick hatched from is light brown, almost creamy white/brown. I think it looks like an araucauna but those eggs are green/blue. Could it be a speckled sussex? Or something else?

Owl like face and skunk like stripe on back. Hmm, Looks like my silver laced wyandotte chicks except for the color. Your roo is mixed with what? Its a cutie and a keeper!

That egg looks like what my EE's eggs looked like at the end of the season. Does it have a greenish tint to it at all? EE and ameracauna's eggs get lighter at the end of laying cycles? If the egg is definitely brown and not green I'd guess speckled sussex.

Looks like my chicks that were a cross between a RIR (feedstore "RIR") and an EE (feedstore "Auracauna"

). Congratulations!

EDIT TO ADD: The hen was the red and the roo was the EE. Your mixed roo might have some EE in him.

Definitely looks like my brown leghorns but many breeds have the chipmunk like chicks.

Im not sure what my roo is, He came from a farmer when he was a peep, He looks like a bit of a Columbian wyandottie with some brown on his neck hackle and green tint tail feathers. Hes a very good roo. 1 1/2 years old and still no spurs, just nubs. He's doin a great job of fertilizing, 23 out of 24 eggs fertilized. My wife and i were dumbfounded because we immideatly thought the chick looked like an araucana, but the egg was creamy brown.

I was told by the man I bought my EE's from that the eggs could be green (most likely), blue, or rarely, brown. So a EE is possible from a brown egg.

I did not know that.. Thanks for the heads up.

I have some easter egger chicks, and two of them look like this, so that is my guess! But he is defiantly a cutie!
