3 day old hatchery "mystery chick," what breed?

[nickie]

Just looking for a little help trying to figure out what this little guy is. I'm assuming it is a male, why else would it be free? I can't figure out the breed, but my thoughts are leaning toward Dark Cornish.









Any and all help/guesses would be appreciated.

What hatchery and what do its legs look like? I too have a mystery chick and it is killing me lol.

duh! I completely forgot to say that, knowing that it is an important detail. Clean legged. From McMurray hatchery

Hmm... I'll go through my stuff! What breed(s) did you order?

kind of looks like my EE, but it could also be a Sussex chick.

I've heard they tend to give more exotic extras.....? I don't know for sure. Maybe a brown leghorn or a dark cornish....if its smaller than the others i'd guess oegb. Mine look like that.

mottled houdan, speckled sussex, barred rock, salmon faverolles, dark brahma, egyptian fayoumis, a polish, and the free "exotic" chick.

not a sussex, too light and yellow skinned.

Sounds silly maybe but could it be a wyandotte? I have a blr wyamdotte that looked NOTHING like it should have as a chick. It had stripes a little like yours but she is for sure a blr wyandotte now that she has feathered out.
