My chick is a cuckoo... but not the fun kind

[4and20blackbrds]

Bought her, thinking she was a Barnevelder.

Then her feathers started coming and... and they’re all wrong lol. I thought maybe she’s a Welsummer, but I don’t think that’s right either.

Help? She’s the sweetest little chick, I love her to bits (based on how she’s feathering our, I’m assuming a girl lol).

Photos are 1 week and 2.5 weeks.

(Please ignore Noodle, our EE cockerel. He’s a bit of a doofus, lol).

Not Welsummer, not EE, I don't know... Sorry :/

it is possible that the chick is a Barnevelder. They do feather out that way, but I can't remember what color legs they have off the top of my head. It could also be a Speckled Sussex.

I don't think Speckled Sussex, mines feathers were a lot darker.

Barnies have yellow legs.
That's not a cuckoo pattern, its a while type partridge pattern. I'd say give it some more time to feather out so we can get a better idea of its breed(s)

eta: where did you get it?

Local store here in Oklahoma, Lumber 2. I don’t remember what hatchery he said they use.

Ok, so then its probably a hatchery quality pure bred... So, with the pink legs, I'd say that speckled Sussex is a possibility...

Her head is pretty much all one color, the reddish-brown that’s down the middle of her back.

I’ll look through the list of what they had available at the time I got her.

I don't see why it wouldn't be a Barnevelder. Here are some B. chicks:

Feathering looks right for a Barnevelder to me.
