I got some live peanuts and have thought about keeping one or two if they are of the brown egg layer breeds. So at what age will I be able to tell.

Most of them look like this some have a lil less yellow on head and some have more. I think they are all the same breed.

Looks like you have a brown egg layer breed, the Barred Rock from what I can tell from the pic.

EDIT: I just realized that the chick isn't barred

Maybe Australorp?

Oh I hope so! I love my 2 barred rock hens! Are they aggresive roosters though I had one that I had raised from a baby and it turned out to be mean. I hope that is not a character of the breed.


Ok so what is the difference to look for maybe I should post pics of more ???

I would be even happier with BA

Yes I heard that Barred Rock roosters are mean but don't worry because he's not a barred rock. Now I'm going with australorp or black star. Which I believe are both brown egg laying breeds.

Well black star chicks and australorp chicks are easily identifable when they are day olds but at his age (3 weeks?) I can't really tell at this point.
