TSC Got Me.

I'm now leaning towards Barnevelder, too. TSC does carry them, there were some in the trough (I called), and Hazel matches most of the ones I've seen. I have her pictures next to the TSC ad, and next to a Barnevelder chick a neighboring chicken fan sent me.

Are we still thinking Barnevelder? To recap: Single comb, pink feet (not feathered, four toes). She's 4 weeks old, 95% sure she's a she, but I thought Barnevelders had more black, especially at the head?!

Are all three of those her? That's a lot of comb for 4 weeks. Also barnevelder should have yellow legs

Yep, all three are her. The top one is the most up-to-date. That's another reason I was confused (yellow legs), but I thought maybe she's just from poor breed examples. I'm starting to lean more towards Partridge Rock.

Most updated picture of Hazel. Now only 80% sure she is a she and not a he. She's now approximately 7 weeks.

Her legs are now yellow, and no sign of spur bumps. Her feathers are coming in more black and iridescent. Her hackles are also growing in black. They look pointy in this picture, but when I picked her up, they're more rounded close up. That tail is making me question her pullet status, though.

At 7 weeks i'd say that's a Pullet personally

Thank goodness! I know we aren't supposed to have favorites, but she's a top contender! I'd hate to have to put her in the pot.
