Mystery Bird... to me anyways

[Texas ChickenZ]

Can anyone tell me what they think this little one is? It was an extra in our order and he/she is beautiful. We are curious what breed. Thanks!

The color is Millie Fleur, the breed ? no feathers on feet.

A lot of chicks feather in like that, those are first baby feahters, its the wild gene in them, it is not necessarily an indication it is a Mille Fleur anything.

It looks to me like a Rhode Island Red chick.

Here is a picture of my RIR chicks for comparison.

my red cochins feathered in like that

Definitely not Mille Fleur.....

My RIR mixes had some GORGEOUS patterned wing feathers until they outgrew them

 

[Ms. Lewis Rich]

Okay I stand corrected. A very pretty chick!

Looks like a RIR chick to me.

Thanks a lot everyone! And yes, it is a beautiful pattern. I'm sorry it may go away in time.

Looks just like my RIR chicks

It is a mille fleur, but not a mille fleur cochin, judging by the lack of feathery feet.
