Any idea what's up with my chick?

Might be a good day to separate everyone out and identify who is who as much as possible. The really annoying this is that I bought leg bands before they hatched and misplaced them.

No, I can check with the person I got them from. My own OE has feathered legs. This one doesn't. I think his are F6 OEs but I don't know what the mix is. The legs are black/gray but the toes are pink.

F6 might not help...was thinking if F1 might help.
Dark legs should sort them out from the AU and JG.

My adult F1 OE has dark legs and feet with yellow under. Looking up Australorp and JG they seem to be similar, depending on the source, but the australorp seems to be the closest match?

I'd try to sort them the best you can, then take pics of a few of each and post in the 'what breed forum'.
Label the pics clearly

Will do my best! Thanks for chatting with me about it!

Can you get photos of the inside of the beak?

I don't think my shutter speed is fast enough. If I get a chance I will try again though.

Can you have someone help you? Shine a flashlight inside the beak, that should help with shutter speed.

Will give it a try!

I didn't get pictures of the insides of their mouths before they passed away. I did take a few additional pictures and videos as the issue developed.

We tried softening crumbles, soft scrambling eggs and hand feeding. They began breathing through their mouth and struggling to breathe at all before passing away. They seemed to have issues beyond the beak and wattle abnormalities.
