Thinking I might candle the eggs 1 day early. It won't hurt them, & I'm pretty sure you all are wanting to see progress.

Our neighbors dog was prowling around one of our coops. He has a German Shepherd.

Where'd you get them? Could it be possible the Buff chick is a Buff Chantecler?

I got them from a feed store. The store carries Hoover's chicks. It may just be a mistake in the parent birds.

How old is your dog?

They're notorious for mislabeling chicks.

We were looking at the Brahmas, & a feed store staff said they were Golden Laced Wyandottes, because that's what the hatchery said they were.

But is it possible that the parent's genetics could have been messed up? The store had the hatchery packing slip telling what breeds there were. The store also has poultry breeds listed on their website, and buff chantecler is not listed. I guess we'll see when she gets older.

Are you sure they don't have 2 chick suppliers like some feed stores do?

Yep I'm 99% sure the parents genetics had nothing to do with it, unless there was an escaped rooster that got into the wrong pen.

Last year they had New Hampshires thrown into the Buff Brahma brooder, & claimed all of the chicks were Buff Brahmas.

Yep we'll just have to wait, & see.

Maybe a chick got into the wrong bin at the hatchery?
