CUTE but what is it?!

[mahen8622]

i got this cute chickie outta a mixed assorted run from my local rural king, what breed do you think it is and can you tell if its a rooo or hen?pics are of the same chick

I'm going to guess it's a blue orpington. Its legs look white, and its down looks like my blue cochins did. No clue on gender - way too early to tell for that.

veeeeery interesting!

 

[jossanne]

Do you know what hatchery your feed store buys from?

 

[Dr.Doorlock]

It's a chicken.....No, make that a CUTE chicken.

Since it came from a feedstore, I'd lean away from it being a Blue Orp. I dont know of any hatcheries that carry them. Is it a bantam, or large fowl? Possibly a Blue Andalusian?

 

[mahen8622]

its a large bird i believe

 

[sandypaws]

i agree with DRdoor.. its a cute chicken
get us more pics in a few months..

i have never seen a feedstore carry andalusians....?????

Andalusians have dark legs from day one. Even the splash ones. This baby's legs look too light to me to be an andalusian.
