Chick Identification

[SimpleLyfe]

I disagree and believe TSC is confused about bin labeling (very common occurrence). That is definitely the meat bird cross called a Rainbow carried by Hoover's. The bin meant that specific cross rather than a rainbow layer. It's very course boned and clearly not a Marans or Plymouth Rock. Here is a link to the cross for more information.

Thank you for the information. This makes since as the bird is quite a bit a larger than the other chicks i have that were purchased at the same time.

Following up. The "Rainbow" chick is 4 weeks old. Any better idea as to what it may be? I posted the chick when it was a few days old on a reddit forum. Numerous people said it was barred rock. A few said cuckoo maran. I am also confused about what it is since barred rocks and cuckoo marans look similar at this age it seems like from research.

Thanks for posting this.

Looks like the folks here were right and the TSC employee was wrong.

Mine look very similar. They're much bigger than my other chicks.

Your Rainbows probably came from Hoovers.

Ideal does not have any listed on their website, but Hoovers does:

Unless they are Ideal's "Rainbow Carton" assortment, which just means they put a specific mix of pure breeds in the box together:

Looks like you were right. Thank you!
