Mystery Chicken

[clueboy]

We just got our first order of chickens from Murray McMurray, and this was our "mystery" chicken. Any ideas as to breed? Thanks in advance for any help.

Could it be an Ancona?

Could it be an Ancona?

That was one on our short list of possibilities, but we were having a hard time finding a good match for the characteristics we observed:

• Yellow beak with slight dark spot
• White/yellow belly
• White tuft at end of tail
• Yellow legs, with some dark streaking
• Dark streak through eye area

May have to wait a little longer to see what develops. Thanks for the input!

I'd personally wait a few weeks at least until it feathers : D

Well, it will be interesting to see how it develops. Keep us posted!
