So, another mystery chick for you..anyone?

[Cynthia12]

Got this baby in an order today. I can't think of what it could be..it does have the chipmunk stripes..that could be a few different breeds. Pretty sure it is not a Welsummer. Or a brown leghorn. I got some of those too, they don't have the circles around the eyes..



Thanks for any ideas!

One of my EEs had stripes on the head like that.

The start shape around this chicks eye reminds me of the singer kesha. It made me laugh and I had to share the thought.

No, it's definitely not a wellsummer or leghorn. The markings around the eyes remind me of a Wyandotte. Some EE's do have markings like that, but their leg color is different. My guess would be a Wyandotte, but I don't know which kind. And I could be completely wrong!

Sillican Buttercup! A very beautiful breed. Or could be a Golden Campine if it has a straight comb.

This is what I'm thinking..hoping more so for it to be a Sillican Buttercup. Now I need to look up both breeds to see how they act, lay... I really think it's a girl. I know the Golden Campines are skittish, but they are pretty. This little chick has a longer leg than the normal laying chicks, and a more slender body. Looking up some photos now. Thanks for the input!

It's a Silican Buttercup! I really didn't take a good look at it's comb until you said something. It has a comb like I've never seen on any of my chicks. This one has two rows of comb. I looked them up, they are pretty. Thank you again!

You're welcome! I hope it's a pullet.
