What breed could this be?

[temple1612]

Any guesses on breed? It came from a brown egg. The lady we got it from thought it was from a pen with Jersey Giants and Delewares, but that doesn't seem right. Some have guessed Vorwerk but she doesn't have that breed.

I had a chick hatch that looked like that. But it was a mutt. Not sure what it could be sorry. Best to wait until it’s older to try to guess. Chicks change so much.

Looks like a Black Star pullet. I had one that looked like that.

I thought those were supposed to be all black at hatch? Mine were.

I've had a few "chocolate chicks" hatch out and they are usually some variety of Easter Egger or EE cross with another breed, but it's impossible to really say at this juncture. Has it got a single comb? This chick looked exactly like that and she was 1/2 Delaware and 1/2 EE.

And this hen was 1/2 EE and 1/2 Barred Rock, also a "chocolate chick".

Yes, she has a single comb. Someone in a Facebook group said that a cross of a Jersey Giant and Delaware would look like this so I guess that makes the most sense.

but, then again, it may not. It's hard to peg mixes. Sometimes, they look very little like what they really are, though if you're experienced, you can see some clues to the cross.

I just got done talking with the lady I got the eggs from and she says it is an F4 Olive Egger.

I bought three Black Star chicks and only one was all black.

Do those two lay olive eggs?
