This chick is 3 weeks old, came with a batch of RIR/Maran chicks. The guy stated that this chick was a neighbors egg and he is unclear of the heritage. The RIR/Maran chicks showed cockerel early, at two weeks, but this chick is in question. Any ideas on breed and/or sex?


This one of the RIR/Maran chicks,at two weeks, that presented early.

What type of Marans was it? Cuckoo? If so, the first chick is a girl. Black sex link.

Though that chick looks like an australorp to me :confused:
 
The first chick is a mutt and a rooster. I've never seen a female chick with those giant legs.

The two chicks (3 week old black colored) are the unknown breed, came from the sellers neighbor and placed in the incubator, was not sure from which breeding pair.

The other four chicks (2 week old brown colored ) are a Rhode Island Red/Black Copper Maran cross-breed.

The 2 unknowns look exactly the same, the 4 RIR/BCM have a variation in color and appear to contain 2 cockrels. Just for entertainment from a newbie, here are pictures.
