I believe that is what this chick is according to the woman who answered the feed store phone. I know she has a lot of chickens. A Speckledy is a cross between a Maran and a Rhode Island Red.
I have a group of 11 that range from 4-6 weeks, and no issues. I think if they were older it would be more of a problem. When they get introduced to the main flock is when I'd be a lot more cautious.
Trying to figure out what breed this chick is. Last of the chicks at my local feed store, decided to take home a dozen. I know what 8 of them are, but this one has thrown me off. It should be from those 2 lists. Anyone want to take a guess?
She seems perfectly normal in every other way. She eats and drinks, isn't being henpecked. We don't have a rooster. It's just weird that it's only her 🤷
Anyone know what's going on here? I have 12 chickens all on the same diet, as well as free ranging, and all in the same run at night. She's not pecked by the others; she's pretty assertive. Not sure why the naked chest...?
Welp, the chicken I thought was a Welbar due to no crest is now laying, yup, blue eggs😂 as far as I can tell, there's no crest. The one with the gold mantle hasn't started laying yet, but can't wait to see what color she lays.
I have an Olive Egger that was hatched on May 20th, 2023. She looked a lot like chick number seven and eight when she was one day old. She now looks like a tufted Cream Legbar crossed with a Barred Plymouth Rock, although I don't actually know what the breeds were that created the cross.
