Rare Breed ID

[Layira]

Ok, so we got some chickens in at school and we have a little rare breed chick, but we don't know what kind it is. Any ideas?

Are those legs grey? Because if we get a shot at what the comb and legs look like, that can really help.

(We go to school together) Here is his legs and head, we only had my cell to use for the pictures. I hope these work!

What hatchery did they come from?

Lets see if I have this right -

They do have Blue/ Slate color legs, right?
They have a Single Comb, right? Or is it a Pea Comb?
And in the first 2 pictures, is that the same bird in both pictures or 2 different birds. I ask this question because the wing pattern looks different between the two pictures..

it was the free rare bird from mcmurray, and it's the same exact one!

if those are fluffy legs my guess is light brahma

Well the closest breed I could think of that it might be is a Lakenvelder. I looked at Mcmurray at the "Rare Breed" list and wouldn't call 3/4's of those breeds rare but who's to say..

FortWorthChicks -- It's not Brahma. Light Brahma's have Yellow legs.... (The chick in question has a Slate/ Blue color legs)

Yes I would agree with Chris, it is a Lakenvelder
