McMurray Mystery Chick

[beausonge]

Hi All,

This is my first time trying to add photos to a message so here goes...

Here are some photos (thumbnails) of the mystery chick I received from McMurray. I am leaning towards a buff brahma. The reasons? He is a large chick, has feathered legs, and resembles the chicks in the video for that breed.

Here he/she is next to a same age Delaware:

Here he/she is next to a cuckoo maran that is a week older than he is:

What do all of you think?

Thanks!

I would agree with partridge cochin if it has a straight comb.

I have to agree with the others on the partridge Cochin. The pics look like it has a single comb.

Thanks everybody for your input!

I guess Brahmas have stripes and Cochins don't? That's what I was getting from others on the Raising Chicks area. I didn't realize they had this area. I hope this one is a roo - the pictures I see of partridge cochin roosters are really beautiful birds!

Dark Brahmas tend to have a Greyish body with brown stripes

they are always roosters!

Lots of breeds/colors have stripes as chicks. But cochins have a straight comb and brahmas have rose combs. Both big fluffy feather footed guys.
