Could be! I hope someone with more experience than us chimes in.

not sure though..
That is so cool that you added the personalities, egg sizes, and additional temperament info. I could identify with some of the breeds you listed as being just like the breeds I had over the years. I wound up not keeping Leghorns or Marans because they got way too pushy to downright mean towards the gentler docile breeds so we rehomed the aggressive breeds. The Marans were skittish around people but mean to flockmates. It's nice to keep assertive breeds together like RIR, BRs, Legs, Marans, Wyans, Orps, Lorps, etc because they can hold their own with each other in the pecking order but adding docile breeds to the mix can cause problems as we found out the hard way. Now I only keep docile/gentle tempered breeds in the backyard flock and there's less diva drama. At first, eggs from pretty birds was a goal but after mixing aggressive with docile breeds, we opted to go with the docile breeds and really there was not that much egg productivity that was sacrificed -- some eggs were smaller or not a variety of color but we had a more peaceful backyard flock.
Old post, but the feed store had ideal chicks. Had red stars and bantams in the same bin. Since she was clean legged, she was aThat is funny, mistaking a pretty rare breed for a generic sex link. Who made that mistake?
I was worrried she'd be bullied, but all 4 of my hens all seem pretty tight. My BR will be dominant hen and my EE will be low girl. Blue A. and nankin in the middle. I rehomed my older two hens.Nankins are pretty rare -- who does she seem to toodle around with most of the time since she is so little?
Single. Not show quality at all, but true to standard. Not bad for a hatchery. She squatted yesterday for the first time and has really redended. Expecting an egg soon. If she lays a few eggs a week and doesn't go broody, I'll be eggstatic. Sounds like a long shot though.Does she have a rose comb or single comb?
