Hi!
We got day old chicks from our local feed store. My daughter picked this one up and put it with the ones I was getting, but I never got a chance to see what breed it was before she added it to the mix. It was solid black as a day old chick and is 7 weeks old now. It is a little smaller than the Orpington and Rhode Island Red chicks we got. In the sun, the black feathers have a really pretty bluish green tint. There are some orange/red feathers on the chest. Wondering about the breed and whether a pullet or cockerel?
Edit: I added pictures as a few days old chick. Important!! Mama hen raised them when the eggs she was sitting didn't hatch... none of these chicks came from eggs from our flock.
Thanks!
