Hi all!
I'm raising a batch of chicks in a brooder at a farm. We ordered welsummers, easter eggers, isa browns, and leghorns(although the leg horns ended up actually being cornish crosses but that's another story!). When the isa browns and welsummers came, one of the chicks did not look like the others (it came with the isa browns and welsummers. The easter eggers came on a different day). We named it Lil Monkey. Fast forward to about 5 or 6 weeks in, I can't tell which one was Lil Monkey for sure but we have one pullet who's looking a bit like he might be a rooster.
Does anyone know what breed he is? I can't tell for sure.
Is he indeed a rooster?
Does it look like our little Lil Monkey could be this rooster? The chick had a white belly where this rooster doesn't so I'm not so sure.
If he's a different chicken, could anyone make any guesses to what breed the chick was? I don't actually know much about how identifying breeds at chick-age goes (It seems like it would be pretty hard, if possible at all).
For reference on comb size, heres an Isa Brown at the same age.
