Any idea on breed?

I


My girl, Maddie, is about 8 months old. Her chest is brown. Any idea what she is? I thought Ameraucana, but am not positive. When she is standing, she almost looks more like a pheasant or road runner. She is very sleek and has long, black tail feathers. She is the only one like this in my flock, which I hand selected from a local feed store. All of the others are buffs and rhode island reds.

I just love her uniqueness!!

She looks like a silver phoenix. Very beautiful.

Silver laced something, not a Ameraucana (wrong comb, no feathered cheeks) or wyandotte (wrong comb again). What color are her legs? looks like her earlobes are white?

Her legs are grey. Her earlobes are white and she lays (when she lays) a very pale egg...wouldn't call it white but very light in color. She actually has stopped laying but LOVES sitting on everyone else's eggs. She actually cuddles with my other hens while they are in the nesting boxes and then takes over sitting on their eggs. She seems to like to "egg-sit"!!

Okay...here are four. The first one is probably the best but may be a bit far. What do you think?

Awesome...thanks everyone. So, does her breed explain her lack of egg production? Are Silver Phoenix chickens good egg producers?
