Mystery Chick

[Scoonce]

I didn’t think I had any marans as they should have been banded according to Meyer’s info. Maybe they don’t do that at the end of the season?

Well, that could be why she doesn’t look like what I think she should!

Either way, she'll still be a pretty bird.

Was it a layer assortment, or just the hatchery assortment you ordered?

Never mind I found the assortment.

Rare breed assortment, & the assortment doesn't get leg bands.

Your barred chick is a Cuckoo Marans since you said she has a single comb. Rocks have yellow legs, while she has pink legs. Your other chicken is either a Cream Legbar or an Olive Egger.

I agree, we need better pics. I'd guess #1 is a Cuckoo Marans, and #2 is a CCL or Olive Egger probably.

Agreed.

Meyer doesn't put leg bands on the Cuckoo Marans, even if they are not in an assortment. The pink legs say your first chick is a Cuckoo Marans. The mystery chick looks like a Cream Legbar chick I hatched. It's about the same age. Enjoy, those are some nice chicks.

Hi! I received a assorted mix of rare breed chicks 7 weeks ago. I wasn’t told what they are and have had fun identifying them, but one or two have us a little stumped.
One is either a Dominique or a Heritage Barred Rock. Any tips on which one she is?
The other is a complete mystery to me! Help! She is so super cool!

First is the dominique or rock! The second looks like you have yourself a young cream legbar! She should lay pretty blue eggs
