Got a free chick w/ order and don't know what it is

I'm curious too since we just got a "mystery bird" too from McMurray - we think ours is a Seabright. Hoping

You guys are cracking me up. It better not be a dang ostrich!!! McMurray said it was a "rare exotic breed". It's four weeks old and has no feathers. I was going to keep it in the brooder, but it went insane when I put the meaties outside. It was scream-peeping its head off, so I put it out with the meaties and it just nestles up with them and stays warm. It THINKS it's in charge of the meat chickens and bosses all 25 of them around. It actually herds them. We laugh watching it.
 
Hard to tell at that age. But, the facial markings and silver-gray color make it look like a Golden Campine. Campines have very distinctive markings when they are chicks. Campines are part of the McMurray rare breed selection.
 
I thought it was an emu at first

then I thought guinea but i found no pics that looked like it. But I knew it wasn't a chicken.

Glad you found out the breed now

Changing my response, not a guinea, L0L. I'm gonna go with Campine too.

Congratulations!

I'm getting my MMcM order at the end of the month and I'm excited to see what I get.
