What breed?

[Newchickadee30]

Hello,
I’m thinking this chick might be too young to determine the Breed yet, but maybe someone would know.
The local Hatchery’s gives in a free breed chick for every 25 birds you order. I’m thinking since we ordered Ameraucana’s and Copper Marans that it’s a an laying breed and hopefully a hen lol.
It’s a little surprise!
Any guesses?

Too early to tell...and if it was free, you can probably count on it being a boy, lol.

I'm not too sure on breed. Looks like a possible Easter Egger.

Uff is correct. Most free chicks are cockerels.

Likely an Easter Egger.

Likely an Easter Egger.

Even if they don’t sell Easter Eggers? Can you tell the gender at this age?

Too early to tell gender but the free chick is most always a boy. Never get the free chick if you dont want a rooster.

They sold you Ameracaunas though
And 90% of hatchery Ameracaunas are actually Easter Eggers.
