She should be a pullet. I believe she is the meal maker from Meyer hatchery. 11 days old and the sweetest of the bunch (although I love all my babies). She was all yellow before her feathers started growing in.

I ordered some Easter eggers, buff orpingtons, auatra white, cockoo maran, welsummer, and a black Australorp. I'm pretty sure I have all of them identified. This one is a meal maker that Meyer throws in for free if you agree to donate the eggs to someone in need. I just can't figure out what she is.

I'd guess production red.

That is such a good thing by Meyers.
That most likely will be a hen.
Other hatcheries throw in extra chicks, as peanuts. (chicks to add extra warmth during shipping, as well as extras in case some chicks do not make it.) those often are cockerels. That would pose a problem for me as we are not allowed to keep roosters in our area. Then the dilemma as to what to do with them... I know what many peeps do,,,,, but not me.

Can you call them and ask? They told me on my hatch day they decide which birds get used for the meal maker
