So I hatched out three baby chicks two weeks ago. They were a barnyard mix. One is an Easter Egger, one looks like a Rhode Island Red, and the the other looks like unfortunately a black sex link. It’s name is emmie and is so special to me because it’s the first chick I ever hatched.
Its black with a whit spot on head. I understand this might mean it’s a cockerel. Which if it is I am so discouraged because I’ve had bad luck with roosters. One was a beautiful speckled Sussex that was aggressive with my other chickens and ducks, so I felt so guilty cause I had to give him to someone who sent him to freezer camp. Then I had a beautiful barred rock rooster who was so friendly then all of a sudden started going after my niece, so had to rehome him.
This little chick is special hopefully it’s a look A like to a black sex link. It is 2 weeks old and still has a faint white mark on head, and is all black no barring on wings. Is it possible it could be a Maran mix? It came from a brown shell and lady who sold eggs did have maran mixes. Or does it look too much like a sex link?
Sorry I know the pics are not great but it’s very difficult to take a picture of a little chicken by yourself
