Looks a little like my partridge rock. Also a bit like my dark cornish. Is the head a almost maroon-red in the sun. Both of them looked like that. The cornish had a grey under belly and the rock had a brownish. Does that help?

Also, what does it looke like from the top or back. Are the legs yellow or horn colored?
 
Here are mine at about 4-5 days I think.

First the Partridge Rock (sorry for this bad pic

I have lots of chickens right now, but I must admit I am very partial to these two. I know that Mya will be part of permanent flock, and maybe Rogue if I decide to keep a rooster. I had one chosen, but he is just now crowing, and it is too loud and too early.

I hope this helps you determine the ID on yours.

They both had sort of a brownish color legs early on. I think it is what they describe as horn colored. The cornish now has some yellow as well.

Can you get a couple more pics... I think that will help someone more experienced to ID it.
