BLRW?

[BlindLemonChicken]

So last fall I got what were labeled as BLRWs but turned out to be brown leghorns. My bad. Can anybody tell me from this pic if this could be a BLRW? She has yellow legs but she came from a "rare breeds" bin

Not at all! Its a chipmunk chick, which can be a lot of breeds, but I am leaning toward BL or Welsummer.

She looks like my speckled Sussex did when they were babies.

The OP mentioned yellow shanks, which also means yellow skin. Speckled Sussex have white skin.

This is possible too. I guess I will have to wait and see

Very true. I forgot they had white skin honestly.

I would be happy with a Speckled Sussex or a Welsummer. I have always wanted a BLRW but honestly the last Wyandotte I had I didn't like. She was super flighty. I had to fetch her out of a tree every night and she never warmed up to me so it was a hassle

I just got two silver laced Barnevelders which are just as pretty as Wyandotte's and have a better attitude. So I will be happy either way

My Welsummers are flightly. More flighty than my Wyandotte's will ever be! I guess you never really know with these birds!

I have three welsummers right now that are very curious and pretty mellow. But I had one last summer that was the. worst. chicken. ever. I sold her and the guy forgot to venmo my money and I didn't even care. Good riddance to that chicken. If this one is a BLRW cross your fingers for me she isn't a pain haha
