I got 4 chicks from TSC and back in March when I was young and naive (lol) and as they’ve grown up I’m realizing absolutely none of them appear to be the Starlight Green Eggers they were advertised to be. Of course that “breed” in itself is a mix but two out of 3 of these chickens look nothing like the hatchery photos and I suspected they were Rhode Island reds. One started laying this week and she is indeed what I’d identify as a classic RIR. And her eggs are brown (not green!). But another has lighter neck feathers and patterned neck and back feathers that made me think she looked a bit like a welsummer after I saw some photos of other peoples’. Thoughts?
Left is Blanche (RIR) right is Dorothy (the welsummer??)
