Unknown Breed!

Hello BYC!

This summer, I hatched some eggs from our chickens, one of them really stands out. (Pictures included).

Here are the possible breed combinations she could come from.

Father:
Welsummer (1)

Mothers:
Rhode Island Red (3)
Dominique (5)
Ancona (2)
ISA Brown (4)

(2 of our Dominiques had genetic mutations, allowing for brighter feather patterns or a single comb rather than the typical rose comb)

What traits do you think she inherited?

The rose comb dominque is the mother as she has a rose comb

Dominique's can be split for single comb which mean, they carry only one copy of the rose comb gene.

Your Welsummer ain't a welsummer. He's Black copper(Red Birchen), colored, also has whitish earlobes. More likely a Leghorn mix with something else.


She inherited the rose comb(Dominique mother), & birchen color from the father.

Ah thank you man.

Oh! my apologies.

Oh! my apologies.

It's fine. Happens quite often here.
