Hello, I got a chick from Hawthorne Country Peep Show last March and was told it was a Sebright. As the bird grew older I am pretty sure the chick isn’t a Sebright… (see pictures). He looks kinda like a Dutch Bantam mix to me— he has blue legs but his earlobe is red. Any chicken breed experts have thoughts?
Some more context:
- Hawthorne Country Store (HCS) is a local, family-owned feed and homestead supply store in Southern California.
- HCS hosts an annual weekend chick days event featuring 100+ varieties of poultry, further separated into types (bantam, game, etc.) during the event. They also have many rare breeds during this show, so chicken breed enthusiasts can opt to purchase a Peep Show ticket for a special early entry a day before the event officially begins, to ensure they get the breed they want before it sells out.
- I got four breeds that day: Red-shouldered Yokohama (confirmed), Bantam Easter Egger (confirmed), Bantam Frizzle Silkie (confirmed), and a Sebright (…pretty sure this is wrong)
- I got the “sebright” in the bantam section, but there were probably two other chick varieties in the tub they pulled him from. I don’t remember what the other breeds were, unfortunately.
- The hen in the photos is a Serama, for scale.
