hello all im a long time lurker and first time poster. first off i used to breed and raise bantam chickens i had 27 breeds/colors and around 400 birds after alot of work and research the market in my area for bantams literally dissapeard so i sold/gave away all my birds stoped in at the feed store a couple weeks ago with my kids to get some vegitables......and came home with 10 chicks (chicken math) any way i got three barred rocks three Ameraucana three austrolarps and one gold sex link roo it was dark in the feed store where the brooder is and well when i dumped them in the brooder i have two austrolarps and a mystery chick i cant for the life of me figure it out.....first off its bearded and is brown colored it reminds me of a belgian quail d'anver but i didnt think they had a standard size i do know that it is from ideal im not a big fan of ideal and i know they put out some prety bad looking birds .....crooked beaks wry tail split wing but im sure this bird was just accidently put in there eather at the hatchery or at the feed store and honestly i dont care aslong as she lays eggs and dosent peck them but it would be nice to know what she is any ideas?......i will try to post pics in the morning
