Banni Hen

[gridgeway66]

So recently bought some new chickens from a lady who was moving. I got this banni hen and 3 babies 3 weeks old. But she had no idea what kind she was. Any help?

I can't see her color very well but her posture makes me think of a seabright, which are bantams

Wonder what they might be crossed with Sue25 ?

Very hard.to tell but the beaks of the babies don't look like oegb. Do you know if the lady you got her from had other chickens or had a roo roaming around? Better able.to tell in a week or two for distinguishing feathers or marks.
