What Breed is my Bonus Chick?

[TheOddOneOut]

I know this is kind of off topic, but here are the chicks with their adopted mom. P.S. I know it’s kinda hazy in the photo, but they are surrounded by a wall of cardboard to protect them from the rest of the egg flock.

Cute!
I bet she doesn’t know most of those babies will become yummy, yummy chicken meat soon…

Nope, but she will get to keep one or two (if the aforementioned chick is female) because we are probably keeping one of the yellow ones for the purposes of breeding! This is because the Delaware is critically endangered and it would be nice to breed some if we acquired a female of the same breed.

They actually are only on watch. It is hard to be an endangered breed when you are literately in EVERY hatchery.

My mistake. I was picking breeds out of a big book of chicks, but it.must have been a little outdated.

If you meant breeder quality then, yeah. But the stuff that hatcheries mix up in the back room and call Delaware is not endangered lol.

Don’t know if this matters to anyone anymore, but this is our little friend now! Im pretty sure it’s a boy, but Ive misread sex signifiers before. Either way, he’s turning out butifuly, even if he is a lot smaller than his brothers.
