Mcmurray mixes?

[sekeyslaks]

My sister and I got 2 extra chicks that were not part of our normal order and were not the normal freebies.just kinda dumped into our box!We think they are a mix of some sort cause they don’t seem to match any of the breeds they sell,the closest we can get to is the Niedderheiner but those seem too buff to be them. Any thoughts on what kind of mix they are?

Niedderheiners are white skinned, also have different colors not just one.
So not one of them.

Do they have RhodeBars?

They do not.And even if they did it wouldn’t be them cause they look different as chicks!this is what the second pic hen looked like as a chick.

Any other guesses?

My guess would be their Cinnamon Hybrid Layers. Since they are a cross there will be variation, but they are supposed to be red “with white flecking”.

The hatcheries sometimes sell breeds and hybrids not listed on their websites, and I am guessing that's what happened here. They're really pretty in any case.

Do you know what breeds are in their makeup?

I do not and I don’t believe they have the breeds listed. However, if you emailed a picture of your chickens to Mcmurry and asked what they thought they might be they may identify them for you.
