3 new hens, breeds?

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Now I will get two work on finding the identity of the third

she looks a lot more like she comes from one of the darker red breeds. She has the same type of patterning as my RIR RIW Red sex link but she’s a LOT darker

 

[TinyRaptorDodos]

Could the third be a red star

Lol that’s also a red sex link! So basically they’re both sex linked? Now I just need to figure out WHAT sex link they are I really want to know where those dark eggs are coming from

my final thought is the thirds grandparent or great grandparent was a barnevelder

I have found a red marans in one of my books looks very similar to the one that we thought was an isa

Woah can the darkness of the eggs actually withstand that many different breeds being bred in over time? That is amazing! I never knew it was that much of a dominant gene

I realized I’ve mentioned her a lot but still haven’t shown her this is Cayenne. My red sex link, I’ve had her for 3 years this spring! Super friendly. I’ve even taught her how to stay on a longboard with me and she’s been on mountain hikes with me as well(second picture was from years ago)

Darkness in eggs is a very dominant gene. Marans or barnevelders can be crossed many times and still be dark layers

From what I remember sapphire gems have pink feet- I checked because I thought maybe she was too and they’re pink so I bet she’s just a bluebell
