They were all different breeds. One unfortunately died when it was a baby but I have a buckeye, black australorp, salmon faverolle, gold laced wyandotte and the speckled sussex.
I have 6 sexed chicks I got from meyer hatchery but from the beginning this one has stood out as a boy it grew taller than all the others and its mannerisms but I am not familiar with this breed I am not sure what it should look like developing. It has a pinkish comb and tiny wattles, not sure...
