So I am aware this is a impossible task but I'm just curious about your opinions!
I have 4 chicks all hatched on the same day. Approximately 4.5 weeks old. We got the fertilized eggs from a friend who has mixed breeds of hens and roos so it's anyone's guess! We will be happy either way I just like the mystery of it all and enjoy trying to figure it out! Thanks for the input!
#1 Marilyn Monroe or Marilyn Manson? I'm guessing that this one is a leghorn or mix leghorn because well, it looks exactly like my leghorn. I do know that their combs tend to grow faster and turn pink sooner than other breeds but what I noticed yesterday is the curling tail!!!
#2 Sally or Sammy? So the green legs make me think EE but it's not cheeky like my other EE! Maybe EE + speckled sussex mix. This baby came from a white eggs which is throwing me off. As with #1 I noticed a curly tail yesterday!
#3 Amelia or Amelio? I'm going with Barred Rock + buff cochin because well they have both on the farm we got them from and it looks like my BR but has feathered legs. This little baby is bigger than #1 and #2. She already squats down when you pick her up and is far more friendly then the others...not that that makes a difference.
#4 Raquel or Rocky? Also looks very much like my Barred Rock. Also bigger than #1 and #2. No feathers on the legs. Maybe full Barred Rock? They do have BR hens and roos. This one got its tail fast! Very curious little chick that loves to explore!
