What Breed?

[lauramarie123]

So in school we hatched baby chicks. We were wondering what breed they could possibly be because my teacher has no idea what they are. I hope this picture helps!

Maybe Speckled Sussex?

This might help, but I'm not sure if I remember my SS being that light.

After a week or two can you post another picture please?

But it does look like a Sussex.

Most likely a crossbred. Classroom chicks almost always are.

She hatches chicks every year and I’m assuming the same farmer gives her different ones each year. So we never know what kind of breed or anything about the chicks. It could possibly be a crossbreed

I definitely will post another picture when they get more feathers in!

That's correct. Not enough speckling for a pure speckled or Mille Fluer (orangey version of speckled) chicken
