Week Old Chick Bin Chick - What Breed?

[cluckingheck]

What did she turn out like?

I’ll have to get a picture of her tomorrow. Though, she looks like a light brown leghorn but with dark green legs.

Okay!

I was hoping I was able to capture her when I had my phone out taking pictures of everyone trying to eat the lens earlier today, but this is the best I got of her. Jasper was the main focus lol

Wow! She's super interesting looking. That body type! If you could get some better pictures that would be great! Is her skim truly yellow or is it actually white? My best guess off of this pic is a Partridge Penedesenca!

You know? She does have an extra looking notch at the back of her comb. She has a salmon colored breast, though. I didn’t think partridge penedesencas have that as their coloration. I’ll be letting everyone out in a bit, so I’ll try to get a picture then.

That's very interesting! I honestly don't know how variable the quality of Penedesencas is. She could certainly be an egger of some sort but she would have an especially lean body type! At least egg color will certainly give away whatever breed she is

She’s 15 weeks old, so laying eggs is still a little ways off. And from what I can remember, the extra notch on her comb is near that back but I can’t remember if it actually looks like the split carnation combs have or if it’s just an extra bit, you know?

Definitely take a picture of that too! Carnation combs are essentially some side sprigs in the back. Other breeds can happen to have side sprigs too which can lead to something similar to appearance to a carnation comb so it doesn't automatically mean Penedesenca but it would make me curious!

Her legs look green to me with yellow skin. You got me really excited there for a second, lol. Maybe she’s an olive egger that had a penedesenca as a parent?

I think it’s a hen and maybe a Icelandic chicken.

She kinda looks like my bb red Old English game bantam but older. I’ll have to get some good pictures in a bit, but I bet that is what she is. How’s her temperament? Just curious

 

[ChickenWhisperer101]

My bb red is only 8 weeks though. How long was she tiny?

They say breed identification is a service they don’t provide. Who knows if they’ll even respond, but I can try.

I’d say she’s just an olive egger.

She looks very much like my OE. I just happened to stumble onto this thread and had to share two of my chicks. I’ve wondered on and off about these gals since they started to feather in. They’re about 10 weeks old now, the OE (she was that weeks meal maker freebie) and Partridge Penedesenca both from Meyer. They look so similar, it has had me wondering if Meyer started using Penedesencas in some of their OE lines?
At first I thought maybe I scored and got two Penedesencas, but as they’ve gotten older, the green legs and more salmon colored breast say otherwise. But their back/neck/wing plumage is almost identical

The OE is the chick on the right side in the above. The next two pics are of the Penedesenca and last pic is the OE
