we're supposed to be pullets, but what breeds are we?

[Ducklove334]

we got our new chicks on the 2nd, they're a whole whopping 5 days old!

anyways, we got 4 frizzle cochin bantams,6 d'uccles,and 6 assorted PULLETS.

these four, I don't know what they are, the other two are white, one has a tiny spot on the head, and one on the back, and the other has a white spot on the back.

but these, I don't know what they are, at first I thought these were EE's, but neither of them have the slate legs, they have yellow

heres the best I could get of the legs

what do they look like?????


and these, I am HOPING are Anconas, because those birds are gorgious, and I've wanted some for a while.

If it's a single comb, I'd guess buttercup on the first one

Second certainly could be an ancona, but I don't know.

The first one is a gold laced wyandotte.

Buttercups have green legs.

What hatchery did you get them from? I'm not sure on the Ancona chicks.

 

[Ducklove334]

we got them from Ideal, wich carries Anconas, but I think they were sold out for when we got them, the two that I think are "supposed" to be california whites, or somethimg, because they look identical to the other two older pullets we got that were "california white", then those four. were in the "assorted pullet" package, we got 6 of them.

I think the first one is silver laced Wyandotte, to light for GLW.
The second looks like an Ancona.

No, i dont think the first one AT ALL is a wyandotte.
I would think buttercup, or EE. EE;s dont have to have slate legs when young. They dont have to have green legs at all. But if it is an EE, the most likely the legs will turn greenish soon.

 

[Ducklove334]

I don't even see where Ideal has Buttercups now, I saw them the other day I though

As you can see by the photo, the baby chicks are pictured with green/dark colored legs. Otherwise it does resemble your chick.

If your chick has much of a comb, does it look like a tiny crown?

 

[ChooksChick]

If it was a Buttercup, you'd be able to see what looks like two very distinct single combs that meet at the back. It's very obvious.

If it's got muffs/beard, I'd definitely say EE, as the legs can turn later- I had one just like that, with such a close shave for muffs and beard that I thought she was mislabeled, but her legs turned and her beard turned orange so it was obvious.

I'm thinking you have an EE.

 

[Ducklove334]

I'll have to go look, I don't think they have muffs or beards, I havn't payed that much attention to the comb
