Does anyone have updated pictures of Dixie Rainbows. Several old thread's pictures are no longer available. Info also good. Please lots of pictures!
 
I believe thanks to the help from some wise people on this website, that what I have is a Dixie Rainbow. It is the only thing that makes sense. It was a free rare exotic chick from the hatchery. After many weeks of asking and posting pictures, the Dixie is the only breed that makes sense for the HUGE size of this chick. I am going to attach some

photos for you. Hopefully I am not wrong about the breed but I do have plenty of pics. The chick is 8 weeks old. I thought it was a roo for so long because it was so big and tall but now I believe that is a pullet due to comb color and development. I can tell you this is the sweetest, calmest, and clumsiest chicken I have ever seen. One of my favorites. The little white brahma in most of the pics is a few weeks younger and has adopted "baby huey" as a best friend. Rarely leaves the Dixie's side. These may be meat birds but I can tell you I wont be eating this one.

next to a Wyandotte that is 2 weeks older

chicks to the right are the same age

chicks in the background are 14 weeks

Dixie on the right at 2 weeks, EE on the left at 4 weeks

You got these at Mt Healthy, right? If that is a pullet, you should get huge eggs.

At McMurray. They advertise them as Pioneer but they are the same thing as Dixie Rainbow from what I have researched. I am looking forward to seeing how big the eggs are. My biggest egg layer right now is actually a Dominique. Hers are so large I cannot close the egg carton. :)
