Just looked at rir and new hamp and does look a lot like a new hampshire with the black tail feathers and all. Wow!! Thanks.

Yup, i think that is a new hampshire.

Good Idea. I ordered 3 buff orpingtons and 3 ameraucanas (witch I now know are easter eggers) and bought 2 barred rocks a couple weeks later at the tractor supply. I have a couple videos with all of them. Will try to download.

Just don't understand how there could be a mistake like this. Still in shock!!

Mahers feed store in town. I am in Holly, Michigan. I asked where he got the chicks from and he gave me a name which I can't remember in Zeeland, Michigan on the west side of the state.

They probably made a mistake when they received the chicks. Is your other "BO" a BO?

The 3 BO all look alike except one is a hen and the other 2 are roosters. Same coloring and everything. Here is a picture of the hen. Same age. 4 months old.

Those are all reds - not BO's - it is all too easy for chicks to get mixed up at the feed store when they get the hatchery order and it's unpacked by someone unfamiliar with all the breeds, etc - especially since many breeds are pretty similar as chicks. Also, your "Ameraucanas" are, as I suspected, actually Easter Eggers - they are a mixed breed bird that can lay blue/green eggs - but you can also still get cream/"pink" appearing eggs from them as not all EE will lay blue/green due to being mixed breeds. This is VERY common with birds sold by hatcheries/feed stores as "Ameraucana"

Yep not Buffs

But who is the gril in the picture?

She is my nephews daughter and my chicken wants to climb into her lap. She is a very friendly bird. Love her and all my birds to death.
