Is this even a chicken? Albino peafowl??

Yep there sure is

Four toes. And I'm attaching two more pictures to show the legs. I couldn't find a soda can (kindergarten classroom, you know) but we found a ruler. Both chicks are around 8 inches long and maybe 6 inches tall (???) Sorry--I'm not good at directing Kindergarten teachers as models.

Thanks!!!

I think you're on to something. When I went in this morning the teacher exclaimed "One of them has some BLUE on her feathers==real BLUE!" I looked and it sure appeared to be some sort of paint/dye. I asked if she had tried to wash it off and she looked a little shocked at the idea of getting a chicken wet.

Looks like a cochin to me. Definitely NOT a meatie.

Oooooh really? The teacher asked me this morning if I wanted to take them home.

Ummm, yeah! Any guess on age? Gender?
