This is our "free mystery chick" from McMurray. At first, based on foot color, I figured him to be a Dominique. Well, now, at almost 2 weeks old, his comb is growing in and looks like a single comb. That leaves Barred Rock or Cuckoo Marans, unless there is another barred breed I haven't heard about. The problem is, I have read that Cuckoo Marans will have white feet/legs and Barred Rock will have yellow feet/legs. This chick has pink feet! Here are some pics:

Just a couple days old;


His (single?) comb:


His pink feet as compared to a Buff Orpington's pink feet:


His pink feet as compared to a Red Star's more yellow feet:

Any ideas?
 
Cuckoo Marans. They have pink feet, not white feet.

Congrats, either you have a rooster that will create fabulous Olive Eggers for you (do you have any Easter Eggers?) or a hen who will lay a moderately dark brown egg.
 
i got a free mystery chicken that looks the same from Mcmurry and it was a Dominique. she is mostly black and at a young age she had yellow on her stomach and on the top of her head

But the bird in the picture has a Single Comb. Dominiques are Rose Comb...
