Mcmurray Suprise Chick. What we thinking??

[Raisinglittleladies]

First time adding chicks to my flock so im new to raising littles. My chickens are now a week and a half old. I ordered 6 females and 1 free suprise chick from mcmurray.

1 barred rock, 2 cuckoo marans, 1 golden campine, and 2 ameraucana.

Heres my mystery chick. What we thinking? Possibly a whiting true green?! Maybe female? Lol

I haven't seen a chick like that. usually just Rhode Island red, Midnight Maran, Australorp, or Plymouth. I wonder if it might be a link of some kind? or maybe an EE.

It looks close to a male Bielefelder, but the dark legs don't fit. Maybe an olive egger, Maybe an olive egger? I'm not entirely sure, but I've never seen a barred Whiting, and this one will be barred since it has the head spot.

Just checked to see if Mcmurray sold those. They dont have midnight marans. They only have black australorps. They do have a variety of plymouths. They do have Bielefelder. Which the chicks do look similar. Whats an ee? So white spot on head means barred?

EE is short for Easter egger, of which there are several types.

If it is a Bielefelder, it's male and will eventually look like this. He's also from McMurray

What a guy!! Now im hoping he is! How can you tell little chicky is a male or female?

I have raised Whitings for a few years. I have had some barred birds. All that to say it could be a Whiting.

I ordered from McMurray last year and the feather pattern looks similar to my cream legbar, whiting true green & maybe blue boy (he had a pea comb) and my bielefelder. The baby is my cream legbar, the 2 girls sitting are my bielefelder and whiting true green, single pic is of the same whiting true green and the picture of the 2 that look very similar, but the one with the peacomb starting to get red is my whiting true (whatever he is, blue or green) and my whiting true green female. They were 6 weeks old when these were taken and he had the lighter spot on his head and was lighter from head to toe when he was a baby. None of my whiting true blue/greens had green legs though.

Im curious what the whitings look like as chicks. I have two coming in the next delivery.
