@Brahma Chicken5000 so you are thinking I have a hen? The saddle feathers are fairly prominent, like a roo, but the tips are rounded, like a pullet. I literally change my mind on its gender at least 3 times a day. You have given me hope!

Thanks for the replies everyone! The help is truly appreciated. I know EE’s are mutts, but I wanted to try and figure out what breeds contributed to make this particular color pattern. I thought that by identifying the color, I might be able to narrow down the breed options that got thrown into...

Thanks for the compliment and link 21hens! I actually got this chicken from Cackle Hatchery, so the link seemed sort of perfect in the moment. It’s by far my favorite in the flock. I think the pattern and color are just so interesting! I’m glad I can stop referring to it as my tuxedo colored...

Can someone one identify what color this chicken's feathers would be classified as? He/She is either an Easter Egger or Olive Egger, but I have never seen a color pattern quite like it.

I just got a response from the rep at Privett Hatchery. This is what she said "I had someone look at the pictures, he said it is a little hard to tell but looking at them, he said it could be a Red Sex Link but if it has a pea comb than it’s a White Laced Red Cornish."

I know!!! It was completely different than all the other chicks in the bin because of it's wiry dark hairs. I just called Privett Hatchery and they confirmed that they do not keep records of what they mail to TSC. I emailed Privett photos and the representative said she would try to see if she...

Lol! You are reading my mind Acre4Me! I asked two employees and a manager about calling Privett Hatchery (I was very serious about getting to the bottom of this mystery :p). I was told that the Hatchery does not keep records of what they sent because TSC receives whatever excess chicks they have...

Thanks Acre4Me for the suggestions! I spoke with TSC when I bought the chicks. The person that took them out of the box threw away the breed identification label so no one in the store knew what breed they were. They ended up discounting the chicks at $1 a piece because the breed was a mystery...

I picked up two amber/red colored chicks at Tractor Supply yesterday. The were discounted in a mystery breed bin. I was told the the chicks came from Privett Hatchery and they are not bantams. I checked out Privett's website to try to identify them but there were several breeds that looked like...

I ordered a surprise mix of fertilized eggs from a respectable big name hatchery. In my mix, I received 4 Wheaten Ameraucana eggs. All 4 eggs were brown. After doing a little research, it looks like Wheaten Ameraucanas lay blue eggs. Is it possible that I got 4 mislabeled eggs, or do Wheaten...

It looks like the consensus is an Old English Game Bantam! I picked this little guy out of a bucket of 100+ fluffy butts. I've never seen such round button shaped eyes. I fell in love .

Thanks for the help everyone! It's driving me crazy not being able to figure it out. I'll update this post, with pictures, in another month or so if I'm still stumped.

I purchased this little guy from a feed store. I was told that their assorted bantam chicks are ordered from Ideal Poultry. I immediately went to the website and dug through countless pages of bantam chickens trying to identify this chickadee's breed. Any guesses out there?

I'm looking for blue or splash Jersey Giant hatching eggs or chicks. I would like to surprise my husband with some of these gorgeous chickens but am having trouble finding any for sale. Does anyone have any for sale or can point me in the right direction?
