Hi,
Purchased this with other chicks as a Silver Laced Wyandotte OR Ameracauna female chick. Purchased from a feed store that confused breed ID of some of the other chicks I bought from them (lesson learned!). Chick was born about March 8th. Compared to SLW and GLW of same age, seems to have thicker legs, a wedge-shaped skull with a distinct 'valley' from its comb back (view from above - see third photo below) vs. a more "V" shaped skull like the pullets have; and more comb. Has started flapping his wings like roosters do when they're going to crow, but no crow. It has blue legs, which SLW aren't supposed to have. Also some brown in its neck coloring, as well as a brown circle in its tail. Was bumping chests occasionally with my Black Maran little roo, until the later was placed with another flock. So. . . I am presuming that this is a little 3-month-old cockerel. Its feather and leg coloring confuses me, though, so would love input as to what possible breed it might be. Either way, he's a 'give-away', but I'm really trying to learn more about chickens, so would appreciate opinions.
Thanks for any help!
