Another mystery feed store chick! Anyone have any idea what she could be?

[CherieAmie]

I picked this little beauty up out of the mixed pullet box... She never even made it into the bin! I have been scouring the internet for ideas of what she could be, and am not coming up with much. I also pulled a russian orloff out of the same box, so she could be almost anything! She is black with a deep brown face, single comb and white on her belly.

maybe a black sex link

She sure is pretty!! The one I got was the orloff right?? I couldn't remember!! Guess what happened when I got home from buying the three I shouldn't have bought...campbells called and someone is ordering buff orpingtons and he can add my americaunas onto their order...so naturally I said I'd take 5...NO MORE CHICKS!!! Lol. Good luck on figurong her out!!

Bahahahahaha alliecat2886!!!! Chicken math, chicken math... That's awesome! Yes, you picked up an orloff as well. Have you looked them up? They're pretty crazy looking! Not as ridiculous as your turken though!

@ramirezframing That's a thought! I thought female black sex links were completely black... I'll look into it!

I have no idea, but he is awfully cute! I like his red little face!

That is Black Sex Link pullet. I've raised hundreds of them, some are completely black but most have red heads. Best of luck with your pullet!

 

[CherieAmie]

Thanks for the feedback! Sounds good! I've heard black sex links lay like a machine, and they're really pretty to boot!

They lay some lovely light brown eggs and you can hardly beat them for production I've also had a few go broody on me and hatched chicks.

Omgoodness!! They are sooo cool looking!! Did we get the lighter or darker ones? Can't wait to see what they grow up like!! And asblong as tsc is done with chick days my chicken math is staying put!!

 

[CherieAmie]

I'm not sure what they'll look like! I picked up a few orloffs a couple weeks ago when they were the featured breed, and some of them are feathering in light, and some are coming in dark. From what I've seen, no two orloffs look alike! Wish I could say my chicken math was staying put... But I own an incubator! Bahahahahahahahah!!!! I've learned to just embrace the insanity.
