“The chicken formally known as Jersey giant”. Now I’ve been told otherwise. Anyone know the breed?

Hopefully someone else has an idea. It's definitely something I haven't seen before. It may still be an olive egger which is a mixed breed.

Thank you very much for trying.

We love her no matter what.

Can I add that she grew the fastest of all the chicks. She is the biggest of the 12 now at 5 weeks.

Pink+gray. Black Copper Marans with lots of leakage?

I looked at a bunch of pictures that people have posted of their black copper Marans and she definitely looked the most like them. I’m going with that for now until she tells me otherwise.

I personally think it looks like a black star! Very similar to the pictures of the chicks I ordered a couple weeks ago!

It’s so weird to me because with the white chest and black appearance I could swear she was an Australorp or Jersey Giant, looks just like one, but then she’s growing in almost partridge feathering and of course the multi colored toes.... she is definitely a mystery!!! LOL

I wonder if it’s possible if she’s a mixed breed??? Like maybe one of their birds got somewhere it wasn’t supposed to be? Would they sell those under the adopt me label? Would they even hatch them if there was a chance they were mixed?

This is such a mystery.

Adopt Me I think could be any breed they offer, right? So this is hard... too many breeds

I don’t think Meyer carries that one. I think the only sex links they have are red sex links.
