Hey guys!
On the way home from work, the Mrs excitedly told me that our local farm store had Midnight Majesty chicks in stock and asked me to pick up a few. Soon after I arrived home with (3) Midnight Majesty Pullets and a Buff Orpington.
My wife opened the chirping box and immediately thought perhaps I had gotten Barred Rocks, and then through some quick searching, the spot on the head isn’t something the Midnight Majesty breed has for pullets.
Quick trip to the farm store and was told they are sure they are Midnight Majesty Pullets, and we left more confused. All of the chicks in the bin had the head spot…and they did have Barred Rocks in a different tub, and comparatively were definitely different and not a mix up with those…
Alas, we are here for the knowledge and opinions of BYC
Purchased from Wilco in Washington State, unknown hatchery.
Pictures attached of the chicks at the store, and 2 of the 3 supposed “MM’s” we got, although they all look pretty identical.
