Australorp, Maran or mix?

[Mal_03]

Did the hatchery you purchased from sell Olive Eggers by any chance? She looks like she could be French Marans x Cream Legbar mix to me.

Nope, they didn't have Olive Eggers.

What a beautiful chicken! Look at the green tones in her feathers! Is she laying eggs for you?

So the hatchery keeps the following:
Polish
Cochins
Marans
Australorps
Silkies
Leghorns
Legbars
Plymouth rock
Brahmas
Sussex
And on and off, they keep a few hybrid breeds.
Hope that helps

[QUOTE="And yep her crest is what confuses me too, first I thought maybe she's a mix of polish and Australorp.[/QUOTE]

So that leads me to another question: Does any chicken with a crest on its head get picked at (the crest) by the non-crested chickens? Because I think they look really cute, but I don't want to create a problem when we get our chickens.

Thank you, I love the green in her feathers too, she always stands out in the day
And no not yet, anxiously waiting for her to lay her first egg!

It happens more than you think. The other chickens think it's something extra stuck on their heads and they peck at them often.
My Cochin bantams pick on her so I usually have to separate them.
This was the case with my Polish and Cochins before too and I couldn't get them to stop.

Silkie mix.

Ours doesn't.
So...feathered leg breeds are Marans, Cochin, and Brahma, right? And crested are Polish and Legbar? I'm going to guess Polish and Marans or Legbar and Marans.

She's laying ! Thought I'd share it, since some of you asked before what colour her eggs are and now I have one!
It's colour isn't much different from my Bantam's eggs but shape yes, and size well obviously.

It's the bigger one at the bottom left. The rest are my Bantam's.
