That isn't to say that they're all that way.... She's from Meyer. Noticing more and more that mostly anything with a beard is skittish. Wonder if it's because it limits their vision. Just more used to birds to friendly birds. Too friendly. Here's one, might be difficult. It's not a barnyard mutt--it's sold as this cross and fairly popular.

Yes. I'm used to the super friendly ones too. That's interesting about the beards, never thought of it. Is the picture of a ISA Brown (Red Sex Link) hen?

 

[Noodlez]

Yep! Obviously not difficult enough. :/

Here's a hard one--an immature cross. Destined for my layer group, Tabasco (Cross) and inseparable best-friend Sagittarius (white EE).

Two very popular common breeds on BackYard Chicken.

Hints:
-Mom is buff, dad is Jubilee. 'Basco has one single flower right on the butt.
-2 months old.
-Brother, Ranchero, didn't inherit dad's size
-White legs
-Peacomb

Some sort of Orpington cross?

 

[Noodlez]

Yep. But a little special.

 

[ChickenLover200]

How? Like, what kind of "special" are we talkin'?

Salmon faverolles are nice. They frequently get Champion Continental at shows.

Yep!  Obviously not difficult enough.  :/

I think for some people it could be hard and others easy. It was easier for me because we have 5 ISA Browns. And even if they are easy, we can refresh our memory!

Ancona chicks are yellow and black, as are exchequer leghorns.  It kind of looks like a duckwing/silver leghorn, if it was chipmunk striped as a chick, but I'd expect a pullet to have the salmon chest colour by now and a cockerel would have huge wattles and comb by 7 weeks old.  Your baby is quite the little mystery!

I know, right? And the tail looks like a girl. Crazy bird!

 

[poodlechicks]

So do I! 

I wish I had one too! They are so pretty.
