Guess the chicken!

Time for everyone's favorite game: Guess the Chicken!

Here are some pictures of our 6 week old mystery chicken we got from Meyers Hatchery. Can anyone give us some ideas on the breed? When she was a day old chick, she looked like the classic all yellow chick.

She started to feather out and grow much quicker than our other chicks for the first few weeks, but now she's the smallest. She has dainty feet and a small head.

Also, I'm holding out hope she's a hen and not a roo, but we'll keep MM regardless because she's become my favorite!

I’m leaning towards a Production Red pullet.

Its probably too early to tell still, but I'm not known for my patience! Here is a picture at week 1, MM is bottom right corner

Is sent as your meal maker and your order was laying birds, it should be a pullet. The meal maker is the one exception to the "free chicks are usually male" thing as meyer specifically and purposefully echoes the order with the meal maker.
On top of that it looks pullety thus far.

She looks kind of like my buff orphington did. Maybe their lakeshore egger.

They have a great chat space and i asked about mine. Turns out everyone gets the same chicken as a meal maker each specific hatch date. So they can use the hatch date and tell you. Unless you want to continue enjoying the mystery of it all!

Yes she resembles my red sex link. Bought her under the nic-name Red Star. What a great egg layer. A beautiful shade of chocolate brown.
