Hi,

I need help IDing these chicks I got them from McMurray hatchery in the mail on May 7. 2 of them are supposed to go to my friend and I can't tell what they actually are. Here is the list of what I bought and She is supposed to be getting a Cream Legbar and the mystery chick...

I have several pictures but as they were enjoying their first dust bath it was quite difficult to get any of them holding still or posing... I'm fairly certain which one is the Faverolle (the only 5 toed chick)
but 2 others have a little down on their legs. (I lost one on monday, so I don't know if it was the "bonus Chicken" but it looked like the lighter chipmunk/hawk feathers babies)- but these pictures are from yesterday.

Your mystery chick is probably the black and white chick with the fuzzy legs. Maybe some kind of Marans or Cochin. None of your other breeds should have those colors with feathered legs.

The CCLs could be the two lighter chipmunk ones, but I’m not certain what your WTGs would have looked like, as they are variable and according to the website can be “golden to chestnut to darker reddish brown” in color.

Edit: I just realized you said two other chicks besides your Faverolle have feathered legs. That seems odd because all of your other breeds should be clean-legged. Could they have perhaps substituted anything in your order? Which chick is it that also has feathered legs?

My dark "yellow" with black spots is the Faverolle because she is feather legged and has 5 toes... they said nothing was subbed.
