2 Chickens - Thank Goodness for McMurray

[mhaines4102]

Okay, I have 2 of the famous McMurray rare chicks that are now getting old enough (hopefully) to identify.

The first one is freckles - a 17 week old. My guess was a sexlink roo, but I don't know. I am hoping for an anything pullet.

This is the second, Crazychick a 12 week old. My guess was an EE roo, but again, I don't know.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Both look like pullets to me.

Second one looks like an EE and the first one looks like a Light Sussex pullet.

Those both look like pullets to me too.

BEAUTIFUL!!

ETA: Mikarod switched HER opinion, lol!! I think the first could be a Maran? they have white legs don't they???

I agree 2 pullets and the second is an EE. Murray does not sell Light Sussex so it cant be that, I do not know what she is.

Good luck

But Delaware have yellow legs?

That's what's throwing me off with it...otherwise Delaware was my first guess.

Think they're "testing" out the Light Sussex before offering them for sale?

You might be right. The tail feathers look like Sussex and Sussex have the white legs.... Do Marans come in that color? That was my other guess.

I got a Delaware from Murray once with green legs so it could be possible.

I've never seen a columbian colored Maran???

I wonder if they didn't use a mixed bird and put a Buff Orp in with a Delaware??? I mean, that could explain the lighter coloration of columbian in the neck?

PS...I'm a girl! lol!

Well if they are testing out Light Sussex they better keep working on it as that bird looks way to game for a Sussex. IMO
