Is she an Andalusian?

So her skin is white and the bottom of her feet is white. In comparing the features in the pictures, they are pretty similar, just comb size and coloring is pretty far off. The black ones legs are black, not the slate color like the splash is. Here is a close up of her face:



This is the other one we got at the same time from the same box. I should take these pictures in and ask the guy that got them for me whats up, since he said they would all grow up to look the same anyhow

The splash looks like a cockerel. The comb has a blade, pullets don't have that back blade.

also when you say "about" 20 weeks your guessing older. I'd wager closer to 16-18 weeks. Her comb will get much larger and red as she reaches lay. If you mate them you'll have 100% blue offspring. Both are what sold as hatchery Andalusian, but looks like it was straight run.

Nope, not guessing older. I got my order from Ideal on March 13th. I bought these chicks March 28th. Which should put them right around the 20 week mark if I am counting right They were marked as pullets, but obviously that doesn't make any difference because I also grabbed 3 EE's that day, marked as pullets, and 2 ended up being cockerals. Ive been wondering about the splash, but with no other signs of being a boy by this point, I was just thinking its a pullet.

Well, I don't think your light bird is an Andy, either. She's missing the white earlobes and to me also looks too heavy. Wonder what color eggs they'll lay?

Andalusion are much larger than leghorn.

Yeah somthing with red lobes is in ancestry but should lay an off white egg but doubt as dark as cream.

If they were from McMurray, they actually state on their site that there will be 50% blue and 50% combination of black/ white and blue... So that would mean if you got 4 chicks, only 2 of them would be "blue" the other 2 would be black or white.

I did not order directly from them I picked up 2 of these from the feed store, and from the shipping tags I saw, they order from Meyer, McMurray and I want to say Dunlap. There was only like 6 chicks to choose from, so I just let the guy working there grab two, instead of picking. And he mistakenly said they all grow up to look the same anyway lol I was hoping for blue but didn't really care if they were or not.

I am thinking they should be laying eggs in the next few weeks, and I have been expecting white eggs. Everyone else lays colored eggs, so I will have to update when I get some white eggs, if I do
