[ChicksinPR]

there is 1 mystery chick in a box of meat birds...can someone identify what it could possibly be? this cutie came from MCMurry hatchery and is only a few days old.

partridge rock?

Old English Game?!

Not a partridge Rock. I have some MMM partridge Rocks purchased just this spring, and they looked nothing like that.

You might have to wait until it grows up to know! I had to wait for my MMM freebie to be fully feathered before I had a clue this year.

maybe its a red/black broiler. Is it the same size as the others?

 

[ChicksinPR]

ok, here it is with the others and here is the feathers on the wings...

it looks so much like a partridge rock http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/images/global/th/thumb_large_popup_2162.jpg BTW that chick is most likely a rooster so dont get too attached to him unless you are planning on keeping him
