What breed is this little chick?

[happytxchick]

This chick was "thrown in" with a purchase I made today from a local seller. She only had one of these, and is new to chickens as I am, so we neither one knew what this little sweetie is....please help.

from that picture, it doesn't even look like a chick to me... looks mor like a baby goose without the webbed feet.

Maybe if you get more front angled pictures ( it is key to see the head well) I would be able to tell. PM me if you add more pictures! Is it bigger or smaller than the others? What other ones did you get?.. this is need to know info.

maybe brown leghorn....

Here is a shot of it's face. It is smaller than all of the rest. The lady I purchased from buys them from a breeder; she is just beginning to breed. The rest of the ones I purchased appear to be about 4-5 weeks, but this one looks like about 2 weeks. The others were barred rocks, one buff orp and one Ameraucana (the only one she had, just like this little guy)...wonder how she gets these "oddballs" in her purchase from her breeder?

is she buying chicks or hatching eggs from the breeder. if she's buying hatching eggs, maybe the breeder isn't seperating the roos and hens and someone's pairing up with the wrong breed?

Golden Campine!!!

Could be a Golden Campine, but the face coloring is too dark and isn't speckled. It could also be a Welsummer, but the face coloring still looks too dark for that. The face makes it look like it would be a golden laced something... but the feathering says not. Hmm, this is a real brain buster. It is some sort of barred chicken, golden barred... well I gotta go now, I'll be back to try to figure this thing out.

No, its not a Gold Campine or a Welsummer. It is impossible to say for sure at this stage. Could just be a mutt. Maybe time will tell.

 

[happytxchick]

I'll be okay with a mutt as long as it lays eggs.

It very well may be...I've searched and searched online and can't find anything that looks like it...who knows, it may be the prettiest chicken in TX before its all over.

When she gets bigger, I'll post more pics.
