Sold to me as a silkie but I’m thinking not. Perhaps a cross? 8 weeks old - thinking it’s probably a little cockerel, but really hard to tell!
Would love to hear your guesses!
These chicks are just a bit shy of 8 weeks and I have no clue! These are new breeds for me and I’m finding them more difficult than normal to guess.
2 dark brahmas, 2 buff brahmas, and 1 lavender Orpington
I’d appreciate your insight. Thank you all!
The hatchery the lady got them from as part of the over-hatch also has New Hampshire Reds and RIR. They look different from the RIR so I think NH Red or production red is likely. Thanks!
I have two - they both look like Meeker here - sold to me as Buff Orpingtons; 10 weeks old.
They seem awfully red-tinted. Are they something else or is this what young BO pullets look like?
Thanks!!!
That’s what the lady told me but she got several hundred overhatched chicks from a hatchery so perhaps? Maybe I should look and see if that hatchery offers ameracaunas.
Out of the seven chicks I hatched - four of which are most certainly roosters - these three are my only hope for hens. Would love your opinions…
