Hi all -
I know the first thing you're going to say - "we need pics!" - sorry, but the camera battery is charging. In the meantime tho, I thought I'd post this and see what y'all could come up with!
What kind of chick can have ALL of the following features:
1. feather color and barring like a barred rock, but FRIZZLED
2. yellow legs shaded in black and a head spot like a dominique
3. pea comb like an EE (or possibly a rose comb)
4. feathered legs/feet like a silkie (maybe not quite as heavy)
5. Four toes on each foot
These features describe a chick I just got this afternoon. There is another chick that is similar, only it is hard/flat feathered, has what appears to be a single comb, and it does not have feathered legs and feet. I was told these were 4 week old standard Phoenix chicks from McMurray, but I'm skeptical.
Anyone care to take a guess tonight to compare to some photos in the morning?
