So I found this chicken...

[4eyesnoheart]

I'm pretty sure she's a bantam welsummer, but can anyone confirm?

Tldr/stray dogs attacked a chicken. This is not my chicken. I got a new chicken.

(Yes I've posted her on my local lost pet boards)

I'm a vet tech and she's receiving appropriate medical care.
She's super docile and thoroughly enjoyed my preening some of her neck feathers. She's like a 1/3rd the size of my hens, but her comb looks fully developed. Anybody have a guess at age?

Thanks!

Hmm, personally I think she is a Silver Duckwing OEGB. Poor gal!

Really? She's definitely brown w/ black in real life. The silver duckwings look more, well' silver but tbh, I'm relying on googling vs hands on chicken knowledge. I've never interacted with either the OEGB or welsummer

A few hatcheries sell Silver Duckwing OEGB, and their birds aren’t very standard colored. A lot of the photos on google have really nice standard bred birds. Although she may be something else as I am not an expert on chicken breeds, much less on bantams.

Not a bantam Welsummer and yes she is silver duckwing.
Idk if OEGB. Looks kinda big for one but hard to judge size.

She is super teeny, like can't weigh more than 3 lbs. I'm not familiar with any of the bantams. I'm used to mixed flock weirdos with little to no origin story

She is not a Welsummer, her color is silver duckwing but I am unsure of her breed.

Curious, what makes her not a welsummer?the pics online look so close. I'll try to take better pics.of her.

She's a oegb, not a welsummer. Wrong coloring.

Welsummers are brown with goldish neck feathers. My Welsummer and her BO sisters.
