In September i ordered 35 barred rock chicks from Murray McMurray and checked yes on the mystery bird option. I picked them up and found the mystery bird to be a smaller solid yellow chick. The barred rocks are full sized now, and laying, and i assume yellow bird is too. My kids named her yellow bird, although she is now much more brown in color than yellow. She is much smaller, almost half the weight of my barred rocks, and my three month old buff orpintons now out weigh her too. I call her a she, because she has no comb per say. We get one white egg every few days and its tiny so i assume its her, all we have is barred rocks and buff orpintons and her. Again, she is mostly brown now, with a little yellow in her, no foot feathers, and black tail feathers. She is the nicest bird we have, and comes when called "yellow bird." She wants to be held all the time, and on weekends makes trips up to the house from the coop and my son lets her roam the house, which i didnt know about till i walked in and there she stands in the living room on the new whte carpet. Im wanting to know what breed she is, and want ten or more of that breed. She gets picked on a little due to her size, but has managed to pretty much be left alone and theres 35 barred rocks, and 35 buff orpintons. Please anyone shoot me ideas, like i said shes the mystery bird from Murray McMurray and i want more of that breed. I havent taken any photos of her, but can and will upload them if needed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Ive searched the Murray site and dont think Ive found her breed yet too.Thanks
