Good idea. Thx!

Thanks. He was supposed to be a Black Australorp pullet and we got him from a lady who had gotten him from Dunlap hatchery in Caldwell, ID.

Here is an update on our mystery chick. It's a tiny rooster, probably some kind of bantam.400[/IMG]

My little mystery chick is almost 12 weeks now. The body is still tiny and the tail is getting looooong. There is a lot of irridescent feathers, especially green in the tail and blue/green on the body. There is also a slight ring of bright orange feathers around the neck now. I'm thinking this...

Another question, BBB. Any thoughts on why she is so small? That's the reason I put her pic on here in the first place. I started a thread asking if my Australop could be a runt, and the responses were all to the effect that it's not a runt, its a Sumatra. She's literally about half the size and...

Hmmm an EE crossed with an Australop maybe? Haha how funny. I went out and picked the chicken up and its legs do have a slight greenish cast. The little white fluff under its chin is mostly gone now and replaced by black. I don't see much as far as a beard, but who knows. I actually love EEs, so...

BBB is certainly convinced, but I'm not so sure.

Championssumatra, What do you think of the new pics? I was trying to get a better shot of the tail for you. Thanks again :-]

Championsumatra, I hear you! I'm surprised to find that I may have a different breed than I had thought. But it's a good surprise! We enjoy all the colors and variety of various breeds. :-] I tried to get a few more pics of what this bird's tail and head carriage usually look like. I don't have...

Also, I called the Hatchery again, and they said they got their eggs from another source, and they are going to check their source to see if they had Sumatras. We'll see what they say...

Ok. The reason I posted in the first place, is that this chick is so small. Everything about her is tiny and quick. She is half the size of her companions of the same age, a Buff Orpington, a Silver Lace Wynadotte, a Black Sex Link, and a Light Brahma.

Championsumatra, Interesting. I checked with the seller again, and she confirmed that she was told this was a Black Australorp, and that she purchased it from our local hatchery. I also called the hatchery and they told me the same thing, that they sold Black Australorps but DO NOT sell Black...

Hi Sumatra Experts, I have a mystery chick, that I thought was a Black Australop. I bought it when she was 3 weeks old, and that's what I was told. But on a different thread, someone else pointed out the rose comb, and said this is a Sumatra. This little chick is twice as small and twice and...
