I have a chicken with **HOT** Pink on its neck!! What breed is this?

[xrayblink]

I would appreciate any help with understanding what breed this is. I thought it was a Black Giant or Black Australorp that I was getting. I've tried to research any chickens that have this color with no results.

Flamingo

Looks like it has been eating Poke berries.

Flamingo

You ever crossed a Leghorns with a flamingo? Trying to picture the result.

Maybe.....

Plymouth Rock, Barred Rock, or Marans are my best guesses.
Where did you get this chick? It probably got into some sort of berry or pink fruit.

 

[Fwoof]

My two best guesses are it ate something that would leave a pink stain or, probably a little kid, decided to color the chicken.

I think I can hear the theme from The Twilight Zone!

I think I hear a more colorful theme song.

There's a growing trend that is allowing some retailers to dye chicks. It's a huge thing in India and is growing in popularity in other countries. Especially around the Easter time. Perhaps this bird was in contact with one of those at some point? The colour seems right for that.
