Hello! I'm new to BYC. I thought I would share some pictures of my four hybrid chicks that are about 5.5 weeks old, so you can enjoy guessing their genders and breeds with me. Parents are all pure breeds, and chicks are hybrids.
Chick 1:
Breed: Blue Andalusian and Ameraucana (only chick I know the breed for sure)
Gender: unknown, assumed female
She has a black and yellow comb, and black legs. Her feathers are black with slight lacing that show brown in the sun. She is starting to get her cheek feathers in.
Chick 2:
Breed: unknown (maybe Blue Jersey Giant and ???)
Gender: unknown, assumed female.
She has a black single comb, slate gray legs, and nice blue feathers. Some of her wing feathers are white.
Chick 3:
Breed: unknown (similar to chick 2)
Gender: unknown, assumed female
She had black legs and a black comb (guessing pea). She is darker than chick 2, but lighter then chick 1. She is slightly larger with thicker legs and was a lot slower to feather out. I thought she was a roo, but no red comb or wattles so I'm thinking a pullet now. She could be Blue Jersey Giant, which I read take longer to mature.
Chick 4:
Breed: unknown. Guessing Speckled Sussex and ??? (Ameraucana or EE)
Gender: unknown, assumed female
She has white legs, and a flat comb (pea?). The comb has just started to show some red, but I'm still thinking pullet. The majority of her feathers look like a Specked Sussex, except some brown wing feathers and her fancy "necklace". The lacing on her neck and flat comb make me think Ameraucana.
I'd love to hear your guesses too!
