Meyer's "make a meal" mystery chick

[21hens-incharge]

BRs and cuckoo marans look very similar as chicks, but marans have pink, feathered legs.

FRENCH Marans have feathered legs. American Marans may or may not have them. So yes naked legs exist on Marans.

Everybody is good!! 2 of them had a little crusty poop going on but we got it cleared up and they both gave a nice healthy poop once it was clear so hopefully it's smooth sailing from here.

Great! Just got mine home! Looks like my mealmaker is a barred rock!
and my orpingtons are all 3 blue! I will get pics soon

this is the darkest of the 3 blue orpingtons.

And second is the lightest of the blue orps.

and then there is this adorable little white easter egger!!! I am keeping 6 chicks total. And a friend is taking 4 of the easter eggers.

My experience is when you order the meyer extra chick with a group of CXs it shows up as another CX.

Illinois is a long drive for me to take an extra Roo off your hands. Will cross fingers for your delivery, and hope its an extra pullet.

Meghan who works at Meyer linked a helpful link too.

Oh wow, that link on the other thread was extremely helpful! I got a meal maker the week of the 14th and I guessed barred rock! Yay me. Except it’s got a big ‘ole white spot on its head ... my order was a hodgepodge of mostly dual purpose breeds and a few banties for a work friend.

Snootyhen, what other chickies is your order consisting of?

I have an Ameraucana, Cream Legbar, Olive Egger and EE plus the MM chick coming.

It looks like they have an awful lot of Golden Laced Wyandottes left for next week. I have 2 Wyandottes already but sure wouldn't mine a 3rd. They're sweet birds.

And your birds have the most beautiful markings. Maybe not show quality, but they are models when compared to mine. Hope Meyers sends you something both rare and near standard.
