Rural Gardening: The mystery chick, 1 by DrDoolotz

Well, about 3 weeks ago today, I collected an egg from my bantam pen. I have no idea who laid it, and one hasn't been laid like it again. Today, it hatched. This morning, it looked like it had a yellow head, and then the back "fluff" when it was wet looked greyish color. When I got home and it was dry, I took pictures. Now it looks more yellow all over, but I swear this morning it was light grey! Other important feature: feathered legs.

So in that pen, there are 3 seramas, but this egg was WAY too big to be one of theirs. I have their eggs incubated too, and it isn't theirs, guaranteed. Their eggs are white and this one was brown and too big. So, the other two possibilities are a red bantam mummy or a frizzled grey mummy, and then there is the question of daddy.

So, here is the chick. I am about to post pics of the potential parents. Hang in there!
