It almost looks like an Buff Orpington! And no problem Wvchix

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

Looks like a pullet. It has dark feathers coming in and a dark wash down the legs. Roosters are lighter in color and don't have the dark on their legs, typically.

Showing Modern Game Bantams and Self Blue d'Anvers! We also have a small flock of pets/layers.

Is it true that the roos don't get the dark wash down their legs? I thought all BR got the wash but in the hens it's a lot darker. I have 3 BR that all have the dark wash but one of them is getting a mighty big and pink comb [much more than the other 2, they are all the same age]

Mommy to two girls, 1 and 3. A surprise [I mean that in more than one way] baby due in September. 3 cats. 1 turtle. 6 hens..RIR, BR, Leghorn, NHR, Jersey Giant and an Americauna. A country girl stuck in the burbs [for now!]
