Eight week old mystery bird. What is it?

[Michele S]

I got it from McMurray's for ordering 25 meaties. This bird is very skittish and will not you let you get near it at all. She herded the meaties all over the place too.

The "What Breed Or Gender is This?" forum may be a better one to find an answer, Michele.

This looks like it may be a Dark Brahma, to me. I have had Light Brahmas and don't know much about the Darks.

You can look atthis BYC member's page (scroll down until you can see Ella's Dark Brahma chicks). They are only 4 weeks old but, maybe that will give you some idea. You can also PM Ella and she will probably be able to tell you.

May be a dark brahma, though the markings aren't quite right.
It's a roo, of that I have very little doubt.

look at the size of the legs! I have no idea what it is but those are some monstrous feet!

could be a silver laced brahma

It's a Dark Brahma. He'll just take some time to get his color right.

Looks like some jokester slipped in an eagle egg at McMurray's!

Honestly I don't think he'll get his coloring "right" - He's a Murray McMurray Brahma, I find they're usually very mossy as even it seems in the photo or they're crossed.

One thing I'll say though is the big legs and the dewlap are a good sign.
