Brown Leghorn or Game hen, I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Buckhunter76]

This is Hunter109's hen and we can't determine if she's a light brown leghorn or game hen???

She's really timid when you try and get around her, the guy he got her and the chicks from, had them free ranging.

Not a Leghorn, they have very large single combs. This hen is a brown Leghorn, although not a light brown Leghorn.

She's most definitely not black, her feathers are brown--actually, the photo above is a very good representation of her color. She's just a dark brown Leghorn instead of a light brown Leghorn.

Black Leghorn hen I found on the net.

And yet, she's not black.

Read the bit here about the dark brown variety: http://www.the-coop.org/leghorn/history.html
