Mystery chick

[NStadtmiller]

Hey there, I am both new to this forum and am reasonably new to raising chickens.
I also have two Pekin ducks I’ve raised with them. I decided after building a very large coup & run to add a younger batch of chicks to my flock family. Only one is a mystery. If I could have any help identifying this chick I would be most grateful. Thank you.

Where did you get this chicken from? If you can post where you got it and your location, it might be really helpful to get an ID.

Welcome to BYC!

A google search comes up with a Lavender Easter Egger. Then found one similar on Reddit they say is an EE. Doesn't mean for sure that's what it is though, just a good guess.

I'm thinking that's an Easter Egger.

Not related to your post, but are your ducks male or female? If you will be keeping them all together, just be aware that a male duck will kill a pullet or hen by mating with them.

Hi there. I got it at my local North 40 Farm and Ranch store. At that time I got too buff Orpington‘s, lavender Orpington, a blue bell, and this mystery chick. The mystery chick was in the same pin as the buff Orpington‘s if I remember correctly, it was the only one of its kind with the stripes on the side. I asked what kind it was & they said they didn’t know it was a mystery chick and I said I’ll take it too.

Actually, I have one of each in my Pekin ducks. I have one male and one female just won the jackpot lottery. And so far my pekin duck has only tried to breed my female pekin duck; quite aggressively and in the shallow baby pool I have for them I’ve had to hold her head above water quite a bit while he was getting to it but so far has left my chickens entirely alone, but thanks for your concern. Have a good day.

… also I only filled the duck pond up outside the run when I can keep an eye on them. And I have quite a large secure run for them and the decks have their own area.
