Could be Dark Cornish. The Barnevelder is not one of the breeds that is sent in the assorted pack but I guess you never know. That is a beautiful breed.
And after staring at them for a while longer, they look like the same breed. Their backs are the same color, the top of their heads are a light reddish brown and the back of their heads are dark brown. This is hard.
Could the second one be a Sicilian Buttercup? The legs aren't right. I'm just guessing. I thought the first one was an EE but it also doesn't have dark legs.
I need help with breeds again.
Here are two of my chipmunk looking chicks. I have 12 and I keep getting confused since they all look so similar.
This one I had posted about a few days ago. It keeps changing so I wanted to check and see if it is a Delaware.
And I just wanted...
He was raised by himself. He has a mirror in the box. I have 23 other chicks (only a week old) in the brooder to him waiting to be introduced. It just might take a few days or weeks for that. Any suggestions for introducing him to either the older or younger flock? Should I just let him get...
He is the sweetest thing. We adopted him from a local girl who hatched him herself. I'm sure he is missing his 'mom' right now. He hasn't stopped chirping yet. Its very cute and sad at the same time.
Okay. Now I'm thinking Delaware. If I look really closely, I can almost see some eyeliner. And like I mentioned before, the new feathers are coming in slightly salt and pepper looking.
Or a Leghorn.
Or non of the above ;) I love a good mystery.
And I hope you don't think that I'm trying to disagree with you. Everyone on this forum is more of an expert than I am. I am just trying to provide a little more information about the mystery chick which frankly could be anything. :)
