Blue Laced Red Wyondottes?

[aesolomo]

I bought some fertile eggs that were supposed to be lavender orphingtons. Well 2 of the 8 hatched and def weren't orphingtons. So I contacted the guy who said he only has those and blrw and they can't cross they are in separate barns. So I was thinking maybe he swapped eggs as I know nothing about Wyondottes. Does it look like that's what I have?

Ok ... Will be interested to see what other people think... those don't quite look like chicken chicks to me, could they be
peachicks or something?

And Hello and Welcome To BYC!

doesn't look like chickens i could be wrong

Well they were supposed to be blue orphingtons which obviously they are not. The guy says that all he has are orphingtons and blrw. So I honestly have no idea what the heck I have lol

I am pretty sure those are turkey chicks...

(not my pic)

Ringneck Pheasant chicks look a lot like that too, but they're about the size of banty chicks and hatch from dark green eggs..

Your chicks are for sure not chickens, as they don't have combs.

I have Turkeys so I am 100% sure those are poults.

now I'm at a loss lol. I thought I ended up with a chicken I didn't know what it was. Now I don't even know weather they are turkey, peacocks, ect. Lol guess only time will tell. You say they don't have combs I know turkey have the little knobs instead of combs is that all breeds? Because they don't have that either. Is that something that would be noticeable on just hatched chicks or would it take a bit?

Thanks! So would I expect to see that little bump turkeys have right after hatching? I didn't notice that but will check better tomorrow.

Yes haha. You should see them. Just to let you know. Some turkey breeds love to wonder. So keep that in mind. And toms can become aggressive. Even if you raised them with all your love. But they are still fun birds!!!!!! So give them a chance
