Does anyone know what type on chick these are?

[TheOddOneOut]

Welsummer would have a single comb. That's the kind of narrow comb that stands up, and looks like you could comb your hair with it. Any chick with another comb type can NOT be a Welsummer.

Many chickens that lay blue or green eggs have pea combs. Sometimes their pea combs are little and tidy (like Ameraucanas have), while others are big and blobby (if the hatchery has been mixing breeds.)

If the chick turns out to have a pea comb, it will probably lay blue or green eggs. (Brahmas are on the list, have pea combs, and lay brown eggs-- but none of the chicks in the photos look Brahmas.)


A chick from that crossing would have a single comb and stripey down, just like both parent breeds have (and yes, would lay olive eggs.) So that is another possibility for a chick with a single comb, but not for a chick with any other comb type.

The chick with the single comb, slight crest, and chipmunk pattern is the one I am talking about.

I thought you probably were

But since OP was mentioning two different kinds of combs, I was trying to point out what things are likely (from the list of available breed) for each type of comb.

Yup, got it.

There were an awful lot of "eggers" in that list of rare breeds. Thats a Lot of designer mutts that are hard- impossible to positively identify.

Being marked like Welsummers, but having green legs. From the breeds on the list. My guess would be Olive Eggers.

I think you might be right on the wellsummer!!! None are supposed to crossed at all though but the one thing I noticed on the second chick despite different coloration was a different comb too.

Yes and the feathers on the second one are curling.

What do you mean?

Olive Egger, as in CCLB x Welsummer or something similar. What does the other chick look like?

They’re both posted, just slightly different patterns, one is darker, and the darker one has a different comb.

Are there feathers on the legs & feet? I couldn’t tell from the pics if it was body feather touching the leg or actual leg feathering.

Look closely at the second photo toward the tail. I see round feathers that are fringed and curling upwards. The other photos are not taken at that angle.
