Mystery Chick Identification

[BlindLemonChicken]

It has yellow legs and beard, so cannot be Marans. Most probably mixed breed. Will be nice if is Olive Egger, but there is not proof of that.

They don’t look yellow to me?

Here's a slightly different angle. Her legs are blueish gray.

It may be from the picture (the previous one). I am starting to lean more and more toward Olive Egger. Pictures are not clear, but the comb look Pea.

Looks like a single comb to me. Still leaning toward BCM.

There are lots of Maran experts there and if it’s not a marans they will know what it is.

That thread has all the experts. I didn’t even notice the beard Congrats on your olive egger!

She’s an Egger of some sort. Definitely not a purebred anything

Can anyone help me identify these mystery chicks? 4 weeks old, they are both the same shape just different colors.

In my experience the black ones can hide other colors(leakage or iridescent), but my best guess is that the black bird is either an Australorp or a Jersey Giant, with Australorp more likely based on size. The grey bird is probably a Sapphire, or some similar hybrid egg layer. It’s a bit early, but from what I can see I’ll bet they’re both girls.

Awesome, I hope you are right about them being girls because I already have a rooster named Duke and he's my boy, never getting rid of him.
