McMurray Free "rare" Chick...

[Shea]

Got my chicks today. One of my barred rocks died.

But they threw in an extra leghorn. But my free "rare" chick I'm not sure of. Looks like a red cochin type...but do they give those as "rare"? Any help please?

I Don't Know What Breed It Is But It Sure Is Cute
ETA: sorry about your BR

red or buff cochin.

Thanks. Always sad when a chick comes that didnt make it.

I figured red cochin...but just didnt think they were rare...

yeah i'd go with red cochin. McMurray just throws in a random chick as a "rare" chick, I got a White Crested Black Polish as mine. The "rare" chicks don't come from the rare category, just any chick they happen to grab. If you would end up getting a breed from the rare category then your lucky. it's a cutie though!

ETA: this is what McMurray's website says about the free "rare" chicks........

My "rare" chick was either a light brahma or a dark cornish- only got one of each. I don't know where they got the definition of rare either. Congrats on the little red head- he/she looks like a "Murphy".

I got Salmon Favarolles for both of my rare chicks! I was pleased, but I would sat this a cochin, usually tho, the Reds have a lighter color head? But who knows....

Heres hoping its a hen! Its cute regardless!

what color leghorn was it if it is a silver then that could be your "rare" chick.

White leghorn. I ordered 3. And they put 4 in there. On the packing list they sent with the chicks it had the free rare chick listed = FREE. Then the 3 leghorns I orderd = $however much it was. Under that they listed 1 white leghorn pullet = FREE. So I actually got 2 free. The rare one. And the extra leghorn.

This little red guy/girl is the free rare one I'm sure. I didn't order any like this. I ordered a few red stars, but this is not one. I also ordered a couple frizzle. But not red. So I guess the "feather footed" makes it rare. lol

Packing list...... That would have been good. I would love to have one of those.

Anybody else have a McMurray free rare that they got very recently. I can't really ID any of mine as "The one"

I wish I could. No fuzzy legs, so who knows.
