    Help me ID this black and brown, slate legged single comb hen please

    Well, SHE thinks she is special! Starting to boss the others a bit. Here is hoping for something in the mix that makes for especially pretty eggs, maybe a little darker brown than usual!

    Help me ID this black and brown, slate legged single comb hen please

    Another photo. Here she is from a different angle. Feathers all the way down to the tail have a brown blush, and tail feathers include tiny brown speckle. Anyone?

    Pepperpot? After more searching, I'm starting to think she might the mix called "Miss Pepperpot", which apparently is a Maran x RIR. Any pepperpot owners who might confirm?

    Help me ID this black and brown, slate legged single comb hen please

    Can anyone help me identify this hen? She is 11 months old, and I acquired her yesterday. All the other hens in this flock of 6 were clearly 5 different particular breeds, but I can't figure this one out. Because of the source I am guessing that she is not a mutt (no costs were spared by the...

    Iridescent feathers in Ameraucana, always Roo?

    Since my sex link hen is all iridescent feathers, I know that you can have them on a hen. But, what about in Ameraucanas? Are iridescent tail feathers ALWAYS a roo in Ameraucanas?

    EE no. 2, gender thoughts please, gold and black, 8 wks old

    Thank you. No crowing yet, but sounds like that is what I should expect. I really don't have room for all of them anyway, but sure was looking forward to adding blue eggs.

    Ameraucana vs. EE

    My understanding is that an EE is an ameraucana x ameraucana cross, but the parents are not of the same recognized ameraucana color, or may not meet any of the sanctioned colors, or may not have an appropriate muff, etc. Once you get EE (all ameraucana, but not sanctioned color or missing some...

    ID gender EE chicks please, 6 - 6 1/2 wk old

    I'm hoping if I wish hard enough they will be pullets. Bunnie came from the biggest sky blue egg I have ever seen, so I was planning on great things from her/him? Maybe I won't give up yet. Thank you.

    ID gender EE chicks please, 6 - 6 1/2 wk old

    Both cockerels huh? Oh, that makes me sad. Thanks Gin, they both are beautiful, but I especially like the one with the blue/gray in the background feathers. Apparently both Bunnie (the gold one) and Expresso (the chestnut colored one) will be needing new homes very soon. I hatched Bunnie out...
