What is this chick?!

Recommended Posts

Hi all :D

 

This little (hopefully) lady was meant to be a blue pekin bantam but even with my minimal knowledge of breeds I dont think it is. Its slightly bigger than the other pekins and has bald legs. Its also a little more skittish than the peks. What do you guys reckon?

And to compare it to one of the pekins.

Thanks, Ria :D

Did you buy your eggs from a breeder? if so then maybe it could have something else in its blood that you dont know about other than pekin, or if its a cross, one of the breeds could have been dominant. My resent hatch included some black pekin frizzle crosses, but one of the chicks turned out pure frizzle with not a bit of pekin in sight! Still, it's a nice surprise getting a chick you weren't expecting!
