i hope someone can help me dentify these 2 hens..this first one has the softest feathers i have ever felt and the second is older and like to hatch eggs
The 2nd is a Brahma, I believe, though I don't have any and am not that familiar with the breed. The first looks almost EXACTLY like one I have that is a cross of a buff orp rooster over a barred rock hen. My girl is just lovely, and VERY large for her age.
The first one looks a LOT like two of EE pullets. Not positive but it's my guess. 2nd one I'm not sure at all... sorry...
The first one looks like a Buff Opr rooster x Barred Rock hen, or a black sexlink female. The buff coloring leaks through the black, and those legs look an awful lot like Buff Orpington legs. However I have two of that cross and mine came out with slate, almost purple looking legs - which I fine incredibly beautiful! You can get a lot of random color throws when making hybrids. ETA: Here is one of mine if you want to compare: Next to her pure-BO half-sister:
Quote:That's kind of what I was thinking, except I was thinking a laced hen. She's got that pretty buff and the white legs of an orp, and then some lacing going on... very pretty!
