Mystery Chick

[viriditashomestead]

This is our mystery chick from Murray McMurray. My guess was Bielefelder pullet but I’m not great on sexing birds. Age is about 13 weeks.

Definitely looks like a Bielefelder to me! For the age, I have no clue.

That's what I was thinking when I saw the picture.

Posting an update… bird is about 6 months old. Thinking this is a hen but folks had thought cockerel before. No long feathers around the neck, haven’t noticed any crowing.

Red wings mean cockerel, belifelders are slow to mature.

Still a Bielefelder cock.

Picture of the chick when you got it? Bielefelders are autosexing at hatch.
