Odd Bird Received

[jennking412]

I bought 10 sexed chicks,
One significantly different…afraid it might be a rooster,
He gifted an extra just incase …
Can anyone identify this odd one in breed…
No signs of rooster yet … 6 weeks in …
Thank you !

To begin to identify breed we need to see the chicken's legs to be able to see the color as well as whether or not they are clean/feathered. We would also need to see the comb bud area so that we can see what type of comb this chick is going to develop. Was this an individual offering chicks from a backyard flock or? Asking because the other six appear to be red sex links, however unless this individual was breeding specifically for that linkage they could just be the result of barnyard mix breeding....

Nice to have you here!!

If those are actually red sex links, the white one is very likely a cockerel.

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

That is only true assuming that they are of the same "breed", which is a very large assumption given the information provided thus far

 

[McChooky]

It does appear to be a white version of what they are

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

If you want to get some closer pictures of that one, you could post it in our What Breed or Gender is This forum, and others will confirm or come up with what it is.

We're glad you're here!
