what am I?

[bucky1198]

I posted this under the wrong category so I'm trying it again was told it was a mottied leghorn hen.
I think my girl is a boy and I'm not sure on the breed he/she is 18 weeks old and what is up with the comb it is flopped over to one side

Hen. She looks like an ancona, fits the breed description. Anconas have white earlobes and black spotting on their legs, just like your girl does. She also has that big floppy comb and the color is right too.

I still say Ancona.

hmmmm.... I am leaning more to Ancona now as well, I forgot them!

Looks just like my ancona pullet, just with less white mottling.

It's an Ancona pullet. Exchequer Leghorns have MUCH more white in them, and Mottled Leghorns have a lot of brown in them.

Very pretty lady!

I'm having same issue with one that came in a flock off 18,16 hens , 2 roosters...but this lil unknown was amongst them and the clan, mostly the hens pluck its feathers and kinda beat up on it, I've removed it from rest....so the Question is I guess what am I....poor lil unknown....

Its hard to tell but I think you have an Easter Egger.

Definatley a hen, because of the lopped comb. Most Mediterranean hen breeds combs do that. Now I'm not sure if she is a mottled leghorn or not. She sorta looks like an Ancona hen too

Leghorn hens often have floppy combs. She has white earlobes which is specific for the leghorn breed. Leghorns will also have long yellow legs and a tall slender posture/body type. Mottled leghorn? I'll buy that. Pretty girl too!
