What was your free mystery chick from Murray Mcmurray hatchery??

Here is a picture of my baby at 2 weeks old.
I have very small hands. The feet are pink and she is smaller than all my other chicks. Is it a Wellsummer?

It could be a Welsummer, but it reminds me somewhat of my Speckled Sussex hen. She started out with a chipmunk patterning and then sprouted partridge feathers before eventually developing the white tips to them at a month or so of age.
 
She looks much darker and smaller than the Speckled Sussex roo that I ordered though. Hmm. Surprises are fun! Thanks for replying.

Here are my chicks - any notion of what they are? about 3 weeks old. I think the first is the Speckled Sussex roo. His comb is reddish.
This one has feathers on feet. No clue here.
Here's the Sussex roo, I suspect.

Maybe a Black Cochin??? The others are cockerels I'm thinking. Things could definitely change though since it is so early.

Exciting! : )
 
I had my fingers crossed for a Blue Cochin. To my surprise I opened the box from MM this morning and there was a lovely Blue Cochin chick among the others I'd ordered. To say the least, I'm thrilled.

That's a stroke of luck. Let's hope it's a pullet. (Unless, of course you want a roo).
