    TSC brown leghorn chick??

    I got this chick from TSC a few days ago. She was in a bin that had brown leghorn and brahma straight run chicks. She has clean legs, so we assumed she was a brown leghorn. But I was just looking at pictures of brown leghorn chicks, and her little face looks significantly different to me. She...

    10-Day Old Chicks :)

    Murdoch's had pullet chicks and I went into a tizzy and picked up one from each box without looking too closely. I don't think I even breathed until I got home lol. Below: this chick came from the mystery bin and the one I'm not really sure of the breed. Maybe a legbar or a welsummer cross...

    Mystery chicks age and breed?

    Picked these babies up April 28th and the lady said that they should be three weeks, so about 6 weeks old now? But I don't know because the first one is fully feathered at this point. So, the first one is a different shade of white than my white leghorns. Like gray-ish, I would say like a...

    Age and breed?

    I've got 5 new mystery chicks, when I went to the little store I bought them from the lady said that they were "bantams"- tbh i own a bantam and dont remember her being quite this big as a chick lol, plus this lady was clearly a friend looking over the store temporarily. They all have lil tail...

    Four week old mystery chicken

    I have a four week old chick that I don’t know the breed of but so I don’t know of any health problems I should be looking out for. I decided to buy straight from a hatchery and picked a mix of standard and rare breeds. She has something under her eye and I’m not sure how concerned I should be...

    Mystery Chick

    Hi guys! I’ve joined this community to reach out and see how I should take my next steps— my mum went to the coop this morning with our Coturnix wuails, buff Orpington and Easter eggers, and seemed to find a random chick in there. She seems to be a couple days old and is very very very sweet...

    Mystery chick - 5 toes and clean legs?

    So, like everyone else who orders a mystery chick from Murray McMurray I want to know what I've been gifted (Just received this morning). I was thinking Ancona but this little chick has 5 toes! I don't think its a Dorking because there are now stripes at the eyes. Not a Faverolle because the...

    What kind of chick is this?

    I ordered some layers from Meyer Hatchery about 3 weeks ago. They threw in a “mystery chick”. Any guesses as to what she is? Her feathers are coming in a beautiful dove gray with some barring. I’m guessing she’s got to be a fairly common laying breed. I doubt they’d be giving away anything...

    My lovely mystery chick

    Hi, sticking out like a sore thumb in my batch of black, gray and brown chicks was this lovely yellow chick. I’m fairly sure it’s a hen because she is sooo docile and very well developed wing feathers but I can’t figure out what breed. Maybe Whiting true green? So adorable though. Eyeliner with...

    Mystery Chick Mistake :)

    I'm feeling a little silly. The chick I thought was my mystery chick has been identified as one of two Ameraurcanas. They have very different coloring, but both have muffs and beards. The pictures below (and the photo from McMurray Hatchery) are of the mystery chick which I believe is a Dorking...
