What breed is this rare chick from mcmurray hatchery?

[ShanaWray]

I think this is my free rare chick from the hatchery although I am not sure. All my chicks just arrived today and all were very healthy except one who was underneath the rest. She is doing okay now though.

It looks alot like the Silver Spangled Hamburg chicks we got last fall. It took forever to figure out for sure what they were.

Yeah it does kinda look like a silver spangled hamburg. It is almost a silver color with a really neat black pattern on its back.

Yes, sure it's a male. Good way to get rid of the extras. I've ordered from McMurray once and received the free rare breed chick. A Dominique roo. Not so free when I had no use for it and fed and raised it anyway then gave it away. If I order again I'm going to ask that they please not include the freeby.
