So I have a chick that I got at TSC this year, and because I work there I also got to look at the box that the chicks came in. In this section it was labeled Asian Blues from Hoover Hatchery. But there was four mystery chicks in there. I believe one was a RIR, one a black sex link, one is chipmunk (and they have speckled Sussex so I'm hoping) and one is white with some grey tent to it, a big gray spot on the top of its head, and slate legs.
That is the one I want to know if y'all have any idea?
Ooo bonus all of those I listed were sorted as pullets!
 
:welcome It is a striking looking chick, but I have no clue as to what it might be. Please update this thread as it grows. Hope that all are pullets, and good luck with them.
 
Beautiful chick, wish I did know what breed it is
 
I've never seen a chick colored like that. My gut says crossbred. Can't think of any purebred that looks like that one.
 
I'm at a loss too.

I looked at Hoover's choices, and I can only guess it may be a Rainbow, as they have a lot of variation, but it doesn't really fit that either.

My other thought was one of the Wyandotte patterns, like a Blue Laced Red, that is not quite complete, but I'm seeing a single comb (but that can happen in hatchery Wyandottes).

So, I don't know either :P

Cute chick. Please post photos when it feathers in as maybe we can guess better then!

Thank you all for your post. It will be interesting to see what it will look like for sure. They threw a few more randoms in with this last week's shipment too. A couple whites, another chipmunk and a dirty white one. This dirty white one looks a little more like the spitzhauben. I'm really hoping now that these chipmunks are wellsummers
