What breed is this baby chick?

[RichmondRanch]

I ordered a batch of Black Australorps from Meyer Hatchery and I received a Meyer meal maker (free chicken) and I’m not sure what breed it is. I received the chicks yesterday so they are about four days old but I just really want to know what the mystery chick is!!

Maybe a buff orpington or a Rhode island red

I really don’t think a Rhode Island Red because it look nothing like them but I also thought a buff Orpington as well but look at the black markings on its wings; is that normal??

Could be a New Hampshire Red. Looks very similar to the one I got from Meyer.

I don’t have a picture of her when I got her but this is her at 3 weeks. You can compare them I guess if you haven’t figured it out.

Hi @RichmondRanch we do keep track of the meal makers by date here: https://meyerhatchery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023580191-What-is-the-Meyer-Meal-Maker-

I bet it's a New Hampshire Red!

I had no idea you kept track. That is awesome and very helpful!

They don't really keep track. They have a Meal Maker of the week. In my last order, the MM of the Week was Golden Buff, but I received a Black Astralorp. When I sent them pics, they admitted that whoever packs the box, decides what the MM is going to be.

Okay thank you all!!! I’ll come back and tell y’all what she in in a couple weeks!!

 

[RichmondRanch]

This is her at 3.5 weeks!
