I did not read all the posts but can you post or PM me the name of the hatchery. We don't have any TSC here and would consider getting a couple if they sell to any one in my area. Thanks

Yes, well actually I will give you the link to their website right here.

I didn't see Commercial Black pullets listed on their website..
Just like Tetra Tints, they sell them to TSC, but don't have them on their website! lol

They may have the Commercial Black pullets avail. though,
it doesn't hurt to check!

Photos taken over the last couple days. Not too happy with the photo quality, but it will give you an idea of how she is feathering. Love the bronze shade coming in on here wings and tail.

I'll add more photos as her feather continue to come in.

I was wondering... Do you have a camera with different picture settings? On my Kodak there is a "Close-Up" setting that you should use for things closer than 28 inches. If I try to photograph anything that close on the Auto setting, it comes out blurry. Only reason I ask is because in some of the pictures the grass in the background is clear. Hope that helps some in that area.

Oh, and...

Yes! lol The camera is new, and I had it on the wrong setting, thank you!

These pics are a little more clear. The video is really clear!

I took a lot of pics (she was avoiding the camera, she probably has a restraining order out against me now! lol)..
But, only a FEW even turned out..

You can see her coloring a bit more clearly in this video.

I'm *really* wondering if she is an Australorp/Easter Egger cross.. Maybe?

 

[chickened]

Almost looks to be some barring coming in of sorts. A little brownish barring I think but not so sure on the EE X Australorp. All my Australorp crosses have the white around the eyes and throat. Give it some time and see.

Ha! I was picking up chicken supplies today, and decided I'd peek and see if any new chicks came in. Their older chicks (almost completely feathered) were combined in a bin with a hand written sign identifying the breeds. None were correct. I loved the "black and white chicks= Jersey Giants. All black chicks=Barred Rocks". I politely informed them of their error, but they didn't seem too happy about my friendly chicken knowledge. You'd think when I spent about 800$ the last two months there on poultry feed and supplies, they might think "hmm. This guy probably knows a thing or two about chickens".

Oh, and I think your chick may be a golden laced wyandotte, or a golden laced Wyandotte cross. My TSC had a bin of birds like yours, except they were a lot older. The bin had no label on it, but the chicks had gold lacing. All but two had the Wyandotte rosecombs. The two had single combs. One of the chicks also had white feathers mixed in with the lacing, and yet another chick had one wing that never developed. So it had one large wing and one newborn chick wing. All the craziness in that bin kinda scared me. I have no idea what that hatchery or producer is doing with this breed.

I have one that looks just like yours that I got from TSC here in Michigan. The bin was labeled Black Sex Link pullets....so I guess we shall see what she actually turns out to be!
