Update below!
I reached out to Meyer & they definitely agreed it was not a Black Jersey Giant. They are leaning towards an Olive Egger hybrid of sorts. And I was issued a refund!
Thanks y'all for your input!
It does have yellow/black legs. No saddle feathers or hackles. I definitely think it’s just a super fast growing female after thinking so long about it 😂.
I purchased this chicken in mid March from Meyer hatchery as a jersey giant puller. Here is a recent picture.
Confused on breed due to lean body and white earlobe. Also confused on gender because of developed comb and waddle.
Thanks!
This is Daphne, she was hatched in March. I am currently debating on whether she’s molting (late in the year I know), is being picked on, or has mites.
I started noticing loose feathers in the coop & run about 2-3 weeks ago. Upon examining my girls I noticed Daphne had lost some around her...
Got these three out of an assorted bantam bin. They’re around 3 weeks old. The tan one with less black on it has a larger & pinker comb (I know it’s hard to tell in the first photo).
