Can we see it standing up? General pose, and leg color help some of us.

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

Looks like a Welsummer.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Yep. Welsummer. The yellow legs gives it away.

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