Fairly sure this black Jersey giant if a pullet

[AngieDawn]

She’s 5 weeks old and part of my adoption bundle from Meyers.

I believe you are correct, that looks like a pullet!

Not a JG. They come in Black, White or Blue (and splash). Should not have copper color in feathers.

So what is it

It came from Meyers as adoption chick so I don’t know?

Here is link for chick ID from Meyer. These are chicks at 1 day old. Assume you have day - old pics!

Pay attention to foot/leg color in the chick pics - that helps. As does comb type. Yours looks like a single comb from the pics, but I'm not 100%.

I've had a lot of breeds, but never one that looks like yours, so Im not sure.

As far as F/M, I'm on the fence due to the little bit if wattle growth at 5 weeks, and the bit of color in comb. Also, not fully feathered yet, so hard to determine some feathering right now that helps with gender ID.

You can already see the copper in the feathers here. What assortment did you buy? Or was it LeAnns adoption special? Or was this a packing peanut or the freebie for feeding another family offer?

These guys grew way faster then the others. They were all about the same size when they arrived but They are the biggest of the chicks Now

I have 12 leannes adoption bundle.

Some are obvious like the polish and Easter egger and barred rock.

Poor little thing.
I’ve incorrectly identified it for 5 weeks. Hope it doesn’t have a complex

In looking at the adult pics, EE is coming up as a viable option. Otherwise, a couple of the rare breeds might be a fit - IF this is a female. Some males look different than their female counterparts in colors. Guessing it did not have a leg band on it since it was the Adoption bundle.

Size, we have some breeds that vary in size among members of that breed, including EE, so that might just be normal variation.
