Im the Free Exotic Chick, Do you know what I am?

[NoSkiveez]

This is my free exotic chick. I have no idea what it is. Its a little smaller than our standard sized chicks but bigger than a bantam chick. Ive been thru the Mc Murray catalog a dozen times trying to figure out what this chick is but I am stumped. I sometimes think it looks like an Egyptian Fayoumis but because of the shape of its head I also think game chicken. I dont know. This was the best I could do for a picture, this booger is super fast.

Partridge Rock?

or

EE...

 

[NoSkiveez]

Would a Partridge Rock really be considered a Exotic Breed chick?

 

[HEChicken]

I think the hatcheries' definitions of "exotic" are pretty loose....

Murray McMurray's definition of exotic is VERY loose, as most of our extras are EE's. . . FAR from exotic.

It looks partridge something thing. Very attractive little chick!

What type of comb does it have?

I think Illia is right when she said --

Murray McMurray's definition of exotic is VERY loose

On the right day you might get a silkie as a "exotic" and it go's the same with there "Rare" definition ...
I'm sorry, but should these breed really be in the "Rarest or the Rare" category? Dominiques, Golden Laced Wyandottes, Black, Buff, Blue Cochins, and Dark Brahmas

its not a egyptian fayoumis I got one of those and he looked totally different than that. who knows???

I'm very very new to this, but it looks just like one of ours--that I was told is a Black Sex-link. Our other bsl is actually black, the other one is a pretty dark brown like yours. Both the blacks are a tad smaller than the red sex-links and the americaunas.
Either they didn't know what yours is, or I also have something exotic and didn't know it!

It looks alot like a Denizli Longcrower chick, but I don't think they have those

what type of comb does it have?
