What breed is this chick?

[Painted Calls]

Modified pea.

I'm not super familiar with all the mixed er... I mean hybrid Eggers the hatcheries are pumping out these days.

Any of them have modified pea combs that you know of Odd?

This black chick was born 7/8 & has feathered legs. Any guesses? Thank you

I had to double check the Meyer site and look at the rare breed. It’s the comb that has me a little stump. I believe it’s an olive egger, while not listed in the “rare” breed area. It has the pea comb and feather feet. The olive egger can be difficult to distinguish , because of the crosses they do. But it would be worth it to ask Meyer, if an olive egger could have been used for the rare breed. I’m curious to know

this is what they list and “others as they are added” so I would think an olive egger is a possibility.

Possible breeds include: Ancona, Andalusian, Wyandotte, Delaware, Dominique, Jersey Giant, Brahma, Partridge Rock, Light Brown Leghorn, Hamburg, Sussex, German Spitzhauben Appenzeller, Buckeye, Sumatra, Cochin, Polish, Marans, Faverolles, Welsummer, Exchequer Leghorn, Sultan, Ameraucana, Blue and Lavender Orpington, Heritage Barred Plymouth Rock, Mottled Houdan, Easter Eggers, Lakeshore Eggers, Green Queens, and others as they are added to our rare breed offerings

You’ll have to share an update with us , as she gets older. I love seeing all the different varieties of that mix how is the personality?

so far very chill and laid back compared to some of the other breeds. I have several older Olive eggers that I hatched this summer so I know what mix they are. They are also so laid back. I love them.

Maybe the green queen then? Any extra toes?

Not that I saw when first arrived. I will double check tmrw. That is also a possibility. Thank you.

This isn’t a great photo but also from the same box of chicks. I will get some better pics tmrw. Is there any way this could be a male light Brahma? I know I’m wishful thinking.

Yes, often. It’s basically a pea comb that looks weird, is tilted or twisted, and otherwise has a weird conformity. Take these girls, par example.

Redchels-That is an interesting looking chick, does it have a pea comb?
