Black/grey mystery chick 5 weeks

[Show Sebright]

But I am still think Orpington due to the feet and dark face. But with rocks in have one with some back scales. So you never know. Just some ideas.

If you had her as a chick… dose she look like the lighter one of the darker one?

The foot bottoms are definitely white. So Orp or Blue Australorp fit.

Maybe update us with some pics in a few weeks once it is completely feathered out.

She was bigger than that when I got her

Maybe Sapphire Gem? We were told ours is crossed with Lavender Orpington & Barred Rock

Yes that is what I am thinking. You know you can actually show her under sapphire Plymouth Rock.

I did not know that! Thanks! My son was super excited we got a gemstone chick!

My guess is sapphire gem

It almost looks barred to me. Did it have a white spot on the back of it's head as a chick?

Was just looking at pictures from the day we got them and there was a white spot on the head, bottom left corner.

Interesting. To me it would appear to be a Sapphire Gem cockerel then. However, it looks to have the wrong skin color. I'm a bit stumped with this one. Post updated pics in a few weeks.
