Trying my darndest to determine if this little one could be my BCM or Mystic Maran. I know olive eggers aren’t guaranteed to have pea combs but if others can see it, then it would help narrow down other potential chicks that could be.

1 week old.

I know it’s too early to tell for sure. But I did a split order with someone and they’re picking their chicks up tomorrow. I’d hate to give them my BCM when they ordered an OE.

pretty sure that’s your BCM. A pea comb wouldn’t even really show at this age and it has BCM coloring.
Here’s the problem. I have 1 BCM, 1 MM, and 3 Olive eggers in this bunch. They ALL look like BCM’s. 😂 Actually, 2 have clean legs so that narrows it down but everything else is like looking at quintuplets. See?!?

This one i think is a OE imo (the more fluffed face, different skin around the comb area, and what i am pretty sure is a pea comb)View attachment 3430727
I agree. That one has clean legs too so definite OE. The one to the right of the one you have circled is who the first photos are of. That’s the one I can’t tell. 😭
