Mystery Chick

[JMPE]

I answered a local neighborhood post about a chick found loose in the airport cargo area (all domestic cargo, so I'm thinking it escaped from a legit hatchery box). Either way, I'm now raising a single mystery chick. Any guesses on the breed?

Black with a small light bib on the neck and a bit of a lighter patch on the underside. Small, maybe not bantu size, but small than the day old chicks I usually have. Clean, dark legs and feet. Likes to stand pretty erect.

The picture where it looks dead is how it came to me. Freezing cold and pretty lifeless. A lot of TLC and we're up eating, drinking and pooping like a champ. My best guess... maybe a black sexlink?

Thank you for taking it in! I'm not sure what it is, but good job! Can you get it a friend?

Thank you for taking it...
Could be a bunch of things. Austrolorp, Black Jersey Giant... What color are its feet? I can't quite tell in those pics.

Feet are unfeathered and black. Not an Austrolorp. I'm pretty familiar with them. So many black breeds are actually pretty light as babies.

Isn’t it a pea comb? Or a single? I can’t tell.

 

[JMPE]

I can't really tell. There's not much there.

Looks like a pea comb. Or a rose comb.

Looks like one of the the EE chicks we just got. She's smaller than the other 3 at the same age, but not a bantam
