They are from the local feed mill, from the Wellsummer cage, helper guy there said it was just a dark wellsummer, but I am thinking not with the leg color and less striping.

Definitely not a dark Welsummer. This chick down color is actually an indicator of eb chick down and Welsummers are wild type or e+. There would be no possible way a dark Welsummer could ever pop up Could we get a comb pic? It also could be an Easter Egger, Barnevelder, or a few other rarer breeds. Without knowing the hatchery it came from it’s hard to say for certain until it feathers out more!

I just put them out under my broody hen, so for now this is the best picture I have of the comb, which does look just like the Wellsummer. I think it could possibly be the partridge rock you spoke of and looks a lot like the EB picture, don’t know what that is. No puffy cheeks or pea comb for sure. It will be fun to see what it turns into. Super sweet and snuggly, it surprised me how content it was to be held!
