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

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!

I bought 10 ISA … from a hatchery… on pick up, 9 were golden yellow, this one was whiter… I questioned if it could be a rooster, and he certainly didn’t argue and gave another chick the same color…
This one is getting whiter … while the others are getting more reddish in color… I will attempt at more pics … no feathers on legs, but yes I see on the comb etc.
It doesn’t appear looking rooster yet, could still change, I was just wonder If it might be another breed…
Standby for more pics later … thank you
