Unknown chick breed

[littlechickieskls]

Hi! Does anyone have a guess as to what breed this chick is? She’s much bigger than the other chicks. She is a “assorted rare breed” from meyers so we didn’t get the exact breed. I though maran at first but she’s so big! Clean legs. 4 weeks old.

I‘m not really sure, maybe @TheOddOneOut can help.

Blue Australorp

The only options that are Blue, clean-legged, and single combed in that assortment are Blue Andalusian and Blue Orpington. At least, I'm pretty sure their Blue Marans varieties are all feather-legged. Meyer does not list Blue Australorps in their catalog.

I would guess Blue Orpington just because you describe her as bigger. Andalusians tend to be smaller birds like Leghorns.

I didn't think of Andalusians! That fits it better.

I agree. Meyer also carries Blue Birchen Marans so that is a possibility as well but like you said, they do list them as being feather legged so I would lean away from that. I agree that it appears to be a Blue Orpington!
