Aprox 6 wks old
Suppose to be sorted female
Was in "rare breed mix"
80% sure from Hoover's (girl at the store couldn't confirm as they do have several suppliers but gave me a wink when I asked about this particular group of chicks).
As a few day old baby was light red with slightly darker red markings. Adult feathers coming in with darker red head and neck, splashed body.
Some possible ideas: listed as possible rare breed mix chicks from Hoovers website= blue laced red wyandotte, French Wheaten maran
Not listed as rare breed on Hoover's= calico princess
Chick color doesn't seem right for the wyandotte.
Picks attached. Baby chick pic also attached.
