Hello,
I have this little chick that was given to me and as (s)he gets bigger I start to wondering more and more what mix (s)he is. I know (s)he is young but any idea on the gender? I was told (s)he is about a month old.
Thanks

When we first go him/her

She has this line on her belly where there are no feathers, like our Cornish girl we have. So I was not sure is maybe (s)he has some cornish in her

The feathering colors make me think Easter Egger or some sort of mix similar to that, but that's a complete guess. BTW, several of my chickens had that bare belly patch as babies. I always wondered what it was from, too.
 
Thanks everyone,
I am hoping for a girl

The house she came from there where 2 Black Sexlink hens, 2 Black cochin, /EE mixes, 1 bantam welsummer, 2 cuckoo marans mixes, and something else but I can't remember, LOL I have no clue on what the rooster was that they had tho

Thanks!
 
Her leg and feather coloring,comb,form and the bare patch of skin on her keel bone means she is not an EE.

She is most likely a cross between a bird like a Shamo,Malay or Asil. To me,she looks like a wheaten/bbr color.

Just wondering, why does it mean she's not an EE? Because EE's are a "type" and not a breed, don't they have a lot of variation? Pretty much the only thing they have in common is that they may carry the gene for blue/green eggs. While most EE's have pea combs, not all do, etc.

I had a few chicks with the same belly with no feathers. They filled out, fattened up and grew feathers. I think it's normal.
 
Thanks everyone,
I have raised some EE's and she is a lot different then the ones I have had. I can get some better pictures of her, if that would help. She is a spastic little thing, hence why I was wonder is she was a he
