What breed are my chickens?

[missnu01]

Well mine is shaped exactly like a BO hen. So I'm thinking someone had an ee. And somewhere along the way crossed out with a BO... but then still sold it to me as an EE... here she is next to my BO rooster. .. As you can see she's to big to be an ee this is her first year laying and she lays light cream eggs slightly larger than a store large. .

No, some breeds of chickens like some color varieties of Modern Game chickens have willow legs as well.

Willow legs are common in Easter Eggers, but are a DQ for any bird being an Ameraucana, no matter what the rest of the bird looks like. The presence of willow legs is a really easy, quick way to know that a bird is an EE not an Ameraucana or Araucana.

DQ?

x2 here on BYC means "I agree."

I don't get the "hurrumph! Hurrumph!" posted by subhanalah , that's not something I've ever encountered before and I wouldn't know if it was good or bad, either!


Here is a list of abbreviations commonly found on BYC. Of course, "DQ" and "x2" aren't on there! https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/byc-index-of-abbreviations
