What breed????

[77horses]

Sorry, no pics.

But our neighbors recently bought 7 chicks from a local feed store:

3 black Austrolorps

2 white Leghorns

1 Golden Laced Wyandotte

1 mystery chick?

Today, they are still young(have not crowed or started laying yet, but look like mini versions of adults. Still peep like chicks). They are all suppose to be pullets.

We aren't sure what breed the mystery chicken is. They thought that it was suppose to be a New Hampshire Red or some kind of laced Wyandotte. This is what it looks like(sorry, no pic!):

-caramel colored(like a dark Buff Orp.)

-small pattern of black feathers on base of the back side of neck(near back)

-single comb

-yellow beak

-yellow legs

-some black feathers mixed into caramel colored tail

-a few black feathers on wing tips(but not that much)


Any thoughts?

no pic really hard to tell. Production red .

OK hopefully this will help:

She looks like a Brahma(below), without fluffy feet, and she doesn't have as much dark feathers, and wasn't as dark as the ones in the pic as a chick. Also, she has a single comb(unlike the ones in the photo).

Have you seen this chick?...does she seem to be bantam or standard size to you?

Except for the black markings, single comb and buff coloring sounds like you are describing a buff orp.

Nope, I don't think it's a Buff Orp. we raised 2 Buff Orps from chicks and I know what they look like.

And yes, I have seen it. We've been helping taking care of them while our neighbors are away.

She's definitely a standard size, not bantam.

I haven't checked yet but do Delawares come in the buff coloring?
