Help me identify this pullet!!

[MaryRose213]

Hello everyone,

Please help!! I have a 7 1/2 week old pullet that I am unable to identify. I bought this week old chick from Tractor Supply out of the assorted pullets bin. I am not even sure if it is a pullet. Thanks

Based on comb and body shape, it looks like you got a Wyandotte. I don't know anywhere that sells blue Wyandottes, so it likely was crossed with a blue bird by accident. Perhaps an australorp?

But the comb suggests Wyandotte, as does the body shape IMO. But the color says differently. So I'll say an Australorp-Wyandotte cross.

I think the same thing.

With the yellow legs, it could be a Blue Rock. I am surprised you found it at a Tractor Supply.

The legs look slate to me.

Thank you both for you suggestions. I never thought of a Wyndotte cross as a possibility, interesting. I didn't know that TSC sold mixed breeds.

What color are the legs?

It's possible it was an accident. Most hatcheries / stores don't sell mix breeds, but it's possible for a rooster to get mixed up every now and then.

You could ask TSC where they ordered their chicks from this year and that might help narrow it down. Just a thought.

It looks like a blue wyandotte to me.

Here are some pics of the legs. In person, they look pale yellow marked with black. I have another one that looks identical to this one. I bought them both from the same assorted bin. As chicks, they were both black with white/yellow chins and belly.

Hmm. Perhaps it's a blue rock. But that comb really screams Wyandotte or Wyandotte mix.
