How old are these chic

[Jayecookie]

The MPC chick has white skin, the feed store chick has yellow so I'm guessing you got Rocks at the feed store and Marans at MPC? I don't think you're seeing anything abnormal here, you just have production Rocks that are fast growers next to a slower developing breed.

There all suppose to be barred rocks...

I have the order fourm it definitely says I got barred Plymouth Rock females... I noticed there leg differences too... do you really think they’re marans?

Do all of the MPC chicks have white or just that one? It's really hard to say with hatchery birds -- they don't always do a great job breeding to standard and since white is dominant, it only takes one copy to show.

I also got 4 more from my pet chicken

Was the delivery ok? I was thinking of ordering some chicks from them, but I've never had any shipped before.

Your they came all alive but all the reviews I got were that they aren’t good at sexing or breed accuratley

Hawthorne the one with the white face and Montgomery has a little bit of white but that’s it

Sorry, I just meant the legs. Are all the MPC chicks white leg or just the one? If it's one, I'd expect it's just a whoops in the breeding pen. If it's all, then you have to consider that they may have pulled from the wrong bin. Accidents happen.

I’m not sure I’ll take a pic later when I get home
