Definitely a RIR, the coloring in the wings goes and they get older. Mine looked exactly the same at the ageView attachment 2647879The Red one (or any of them really), but specifically the red one for this question. I thought for sure by her coloring when we got them last Wednesday that little Reba here was a RIR. But, as their wings are really starting to feather, I’m thinking not so much. Obviously at a week old, no way to really tell, but any thoughts are appreciated!
I ordered 1 GLW, 1 Delaware (no idea if I really got one, I ended up with 5 white/yellow chicks), 3 EE (I believe 1 of these was my DOA), and 10 mixes (5 rare breed and 5 “production”), so really, they could be anything. Everybody has 4 toes, all but 2 are clean legged (the feathered leg ones were easier to identify, 1 white Cochin, 1 Lt Brahma), no “top hats”, 4 have puffy cheeks.
Whatever they are, we’re happy to have 14 healthy chicks developing some pretty unique colorings and personalities! The white ones are the only ones I have trouble telling apart, at least 3 of them anyway...one has feathered feet and one has light grey tinged fluff.
