Mystery Chick from MM *New PICS on pg 6* - any guesses?

exactly. no biggie, but something different would have been fun.

Yeah, my McMurray rare chick in my last order from there was the white Polish pullet in my avatar. I was thrilled to get a Polish. I would have been thrilled to get a cuckoo marans for my free rare and exotic - especially if it lays nice, dark eggs.

But you should have gotten something different! I'm disappointed for you, too.

a polish pullet would be awesome! That's a very nice pic in your avatar. And yes, the Marans is nice... it's just that I was already getting 8 of them... plus, of the 9 that were sent...

- I gave 2 to the lady who split my order... hers are 1 boy, 1 girl.
- 1 died at two days old, never knew the sex
- of the 6 I kept, 4 are boys... so out of nine, I personally got 2 girls
- of the 8 that lived, we only got 3 pullets total... so not as many nice, dark eggs as would be ideal

Anyway, so I keep hearing about these cool free rare chicks - phoenix roos, polish pullets, Jersey White Giants, etc. The deal is that it was REALLY hard for me to restrain myself and only get three breeds to start. I am trying to ease myself into this... but in reality, I would love a few of ever breed of chicken available! I think they're all awesome and beautiful and interesting.... so that's why I was hoping for one special, different one.

Jersey Giant?

Hi Strawberry...

Yes, Jersey Giant was guessed before as well... and I was really holding out hope because I would love to have something different from my other breeds... but it looks like everyone here seems to agree that my chick has beards/muffs growing at this point and is most likely another EE...

Thanks for your thought, though... if it's true, I would be really happy

p.s. Strawberry, I LOVE your avatar - so awesome.

Its comb is wrong for jersey giant. And my white giants were dark gray before feathering in white.
