A friend told me, he thought this might be a Blue Andalusion. I have no idea...
It was a mystery bird that came from McMurray back in Feb. This little bird should be 4 weeks old
today or tomorrow. I ordered 5 each of 5 species of bantams, so I assume this one is a bantam too?







Sorry for the quality, these were taken with my cell phone...
 
FWIW, it never was fuzzy like my other chicks either.
 
It is very skittish in the brooder box. I can hold it, and it calms down.
It does not like being alone, it will start chirping real loud.
It's a really neat little bird, I hope it turns out to be something good.
 
I guess I should check to see if it has any comb yet, and what type.
My friend just told me that a single comb was more than likely Andalusion
I will check when I get home this evening.
 
Sean I am thinking since you got him from McMurray and he/ she has clean legs it has to be something off of the list of clean legged chicks they sell. That is where I would start. I would look at that list and start marking off of the list birds you know its not. For instance any white birds or barred birds. When I have a second later I will look again. I don't think it is a Blue Andalusion because, that isn't on the list of available birds. That is just my guess.
 
I was thinking possibly Orpington but, I don't think I saw them on the list either.
