I recently got an order from Sandhill Preservation. In my order I received Shamos, Kriekenkops (Twentse Hoens), Black Leghorns, White Leghorns, Black Orps, Golden Campines, Silver-Penciled Hamburgs, Welsummers, and Muffed OEGs. This guy doesn't fit ANY of those categories!!! Unless it's some...
I just found a picture of a golden salmon marans, which she most closely resembles to me, but apparently they are pretty rare. I doubt Meyers would sell one in a collection, but I don't know. ???
