Hi everybody, my partner recently got this chick from Tractor Supply after we got 2 from a hatchery. Chicken math is so real but he told me i got 5 Black Austrolop and their last 2 Buff Orpington. but this girl looks completely different from the Austrolops and the Orpintons, does anyone have any idea?

Welcome to BYC!

Definitely not an Australorp or Orpington. What color are the legs?

There's quite a few breeds that have that chipmunk pattern, so it may be hard to know for certain right now.
Maybe it could be an Old English Game Bantam...? Do you know if there were any bantams to choose from?

not that i know of, i can’t remember all the breeds they had. there were like 7 or 8 as well as turkeys. i might just have to wait till she’s older, i even had someone said she looked like their cinnamon queen or olive egger when they were babies

Hmm, well I'm not sure what she is so I'd give it some more time.
