Quote: For which I'm glad. I don't like leghorns at all.

Quote: Now it's making more sense to me. When I grabbed chicks out of the bin, I had a broody in desperate need of chicks, I thought they were all the same. Shows you what I get for thinking.

Thanks Kentucky and Cowgirl. I would never have thought to order a minorca, but I'm glad that's what she is. Her and I are working on building a friendship.

Quote: I think you just became my BFF It's been driving me crazy and I'm afraid the poor bird thinks I'm stalking her.

I forgot to mention - I took a good look at her legs tonight and she has webbed feet????

I heard back from Ideal today. Their simple reply was that she is a black sex link. Sex link?!?!? This pullet is no more a sex link than I am (and I don't intend to start laying eggs anytime soon!) Here's some (hopefully) better pics of her and since Ideal was of no help (my first negative...

Quote: Very pretty

I'll try to get more pics. I'm avoiding going outside right now because I don't do well in 104* heat. I can tell that she doesn't have the same body shape as your girl. My little pullet "Rose" is more streamlined.

Quote: Thanks. That's what she looks like, except for the white face of course. She stands out like a sore thumb when she's roosting with her sex link sisters.

Doesn't bother me that she's HQ at all. I've had nothing but good experiences dealing with Ideal. I forgot it was the weekend, so probably won't hear back from them until Monday. At any rate, she's a beautiful and calm little pullet. I look forward to seeing her grown.

Still waiting to hear back from Ideal.

Quote: Yeah, don't ya just love it?!? However, I forgot to mention that she was banded as a chick, same as the black sex link chicks were. Also this year our Atwoods store did something I never saw before - they attached screened, locking lids to the water troughs the chicks were in...

Quote: Maybe she's a cross between a BA and a peacock? I swear she looks like a peahen when she struts around.

Quote: This is true. My LF brahmas were a full 18 months to two years old before they were totally grown. The sex links purchased at the same time as this girl have started laying. I know she's not even close.

Quote: Her pale face does confuse me a bit, but I don't think Ideal Hatchery (feedstore supplier) deals in white faced black spanish. I could be wrong.

Quote: Leave it to an Ozzy to know. With her long tail she reminds me of a peacock the way she struts around. Feathers as soft as silk. Thanks

Quote: The color of the bottom of her feet is basically the same color of her face, a pale gray-ish white.

I'm 17 weeks (4 mo. one week) old. I looked just like my black sex link "siblings" until I started to feather out. Now I look completely different and I'm not as mature as they are. I was purchased at the feedstore as a "sexed heavy pullet" and raised by a broody hen. I am all black with a...
