BCM or Swedish Flower or ?

[MildlyOffensiveChicken]

I ordered 6 bcm and 6 Swedish flower chicks at the beginning of November. They are about 12 weeks old.

One was DOA.

I figured I had 5 BCMs and 6 Swedish left.

But this cockerel doesn’t look like any BCM I’ve seen and doesn’t look like the Swedish flowers either. Looks like some of the olive Eggers (isbar/bcm) mixes.

Eyes are orange. He was quite rowdy.


Thank you

Looks like a poor quality Birchen Marans cockerel.

Do swedish flowers have feathered legs? Id assume that makes him a Maran although not really black copper haha, looks more Birchen although probably just some leaky colors and such nothing 'standard', he's pretty but if he's rowdy watch out!

Did you by chance order them from Hoover's or MMcM?

Neither.

Small hatchery.


Thanks for the help guys.

He may end up in the freezer. I have 6 cockerels and 5 hens.

What was the name of it, if you don't mind me asking?
