“Exotic Chick” Bin Guesses?

[BackyardChickenLady15]

I think we’ve identified most of our others, but this pullet is a mystery. She came to us with black markings by her eyes, a grey stripe on her back, but predominantly yellow fluff (no feathered feet). Her feathers are coming in white and grey?? Her feet and legs have gone from yellow to a silvery/grey color.

Any ideas???

The last picture is just there bc these two (olive eggers, I think) are adorable - and I think we got a roo on accident

It's some kind of hatchery hybrid. Perhaps an Easter egger, who commonly have green legs. Not many other pure breeds do.

Not sure, I think we need better pictures of the chick. My only guess would be Easter Egger but the chick didn't appear to have slate (blue) or willow (green) legs when it was young. Some of my Easter Eggers originally had pink legs before getting slate or willow legs, too, though.

Also, you're right, you did get a cockerel (the one in the background of the third image).

The last pic looks a little like barred rock chicks. Congrats on the chickens!

2x. I would say that the cockerel is a Barred Rock and the Barred chicken with willow legs is some kind of mix.

You can also do bird breed tests. They probably sell them on Amazon.

I think the barred chicks and the white one are all the Rainbow meat chicks from Hoovers. They're quite chunky and I've seen them a lot on here coming from TSC this spring.

That simply does not exist. Only DNA tests for sex are available. There are also a few tests on the market for carrying the blue egg gene and a few other genes but none are applicable in this instance and are meant for breeders. There are no "breed" tests on the market.

I was thinking the same thing.
