Rare Breed Mystery Chick

[23kthistlethwaite]

Hey guys! So I ordered 6 chicks from the rare breed assortment at meyer hatchery and was able to identify most of them. But this one has me stumped. They have a chick ID page but she doesn’t really look like any of the chicks from their. So as a default I assumed she was an olive egged, but then I noticed that she looks to have a rose comb. Can olive eggers have rose combs? Does she look like any other breed that you know of? Thanks in advance

Rose combed Ancona. I am still learning breeds identification, but that seems to be the only breed (I can think of) that matches.

@Rhodebar Lover would probably know for sure though.

Not an Ancona. Is rose comb though.

Not an Ancona. Is rose comb though.

Why not an Ancona?
I agree, though. Looks wrong for one.
I’m guessing Silver Laced Wyandotte.

Not the right pattern. Plus Anconas don’t have rose combs.

There are rose combed ones, but yeah, I could totally be wrong.

Fun fact is that there are rose combed Leghorns as well.

Maybe post when your chicken gets to be around a month. It may be easier to tell.

Ok will do! I thought we might not be able to tell yet

It’s very unique looking what ever it is!

Rose Comb Anconas are super uncommon and not carried by Meyers. This chick also isn't mottled I bet this chick is a Green Queen
