Mystery Rural King chicks

[fluffycrow]

I'd say splash cochin, I'd expect a little less leg feathering from a hatchery quality marans. I do also agree with Jed that it could be a self blue D'uccle, though I'm not seeing much beard

Here is the list on Hoover's site. Thing is, non of the listed blue, silver, or lavender breeds on this list have feathered feet. It's a mystery!

Could you call your rural king and ask who supplies their chicks?
What comb type do your chicks have?

No beards. And they aren't small like a bantam chick.

I'm guessing they're cochins. I'd try to find what colors they carry.

I just checked, of the Cochin colors they carry they would be Splash. Nothing else on that list fits so I'm going with Splash Cochins. They're adorable.

Hoover Hatchery is where these came from.

What comb type do your chicks have?

They don't have combs yet, only a line where one would be, and it looks kinda dark like the beak. Sorry the pictures arent better, its nasty outside, so no natural light.

Can you get a pic? It should be visible what type they are even if they're small.

Better comb pics would help, but I think we're looking at straight combed birds

I agree, but there's always chicks that get misplaced. They could be something totally different that just got stuck in with others to empty out a tub.
