Speckled Sussex or Welsummer?

[Newchick mom]

We have 5 Barred Plymouth Rocks and “the brown one”. I can’t tell if she is Speckled Sussex or Welsummer? Any ideas - confirmation? I bought them from farm store but the box labeled her as a premium pullet (the BPR listed as pullets- not premium).

This is my girl at approximately 9 weeks old. Anyone able to tell what breed she is now??

Either a Legbar lacking a crest or a Legbar cross Easter egger. The coloring looks too subdued to be a Bielefelder.

If it can only be a Welbar or Welsumer then definitely a Welbar.

Bielevelder? Post more pics as she develops and it should be easier to start to tell.

I definitely will. Thank you!

Yeah these chipmunk wild-types are really difficult to distinguish until some type of feathering comes in. I will say that Speckled Sussex would usually be more reddish or darker. so I think that is one that you could possibly eliminate.

With the really defined and outlined 'head dart' it feels like we can rule out Bielefelder. Hatchery grade Speckled Sussex or Welsummer with the wrong colored legs seem like the logical take.

But... with with the greenish legs could it be a single combed Easter Egger?

Recently it seems like anything goes with EEs so the wild type chick with willow legs but single combed isn't a stretch. This is one where we're relying on you @Newchick mom to share a picture in 4-6 weeks so we can see this shakes out!!

@house1917 What would you call that on the side of these girls' faces?

Eyeliner seems to be what's used on BYC. I used to call it Cleopatra eyes before joining this site.

Nerd, party of one

Looks like a Welbar to me. She does look like she has Legbar in her.

Here's a couple pictures of my welsummer pullet at about 2 weeks if that's helpful. And another at about 7 or 8 weeks
