Breed and gender anyone?

[hevnlyprncss]

Can anyone tell me what breed and gender this chicken is? It's about 6 weeks old. Thanx for your help!

Looks like an Easter Egger pullet!

That is what I thought too, but I was looking for muffs and leg color and I'm not convinced she's an EE. There must be some other possibilities.

Two out of three of my EE have similar coloring (the other is a light cream). One has big muffs and beard, the other does not. Really does look like a EE.

I'm still working on sexing my chicks myself. I purchased the EE at 2 weeks old and were told they were pullets. They are now about 12 weeks and just getting a bit of reddish tint to their combs. Their combs were not developed either at 6 weeks. Hope we got girls!

There are three breed I can think of that looks like that (color).
These are not my birds..
If it has a Pea Comb it is a Easter Egger
If it has a Single/Stright Comb then it could be a Golden Campine

If it has a comb that looks like a cup (or two rows of combs at that young age) then it could be a Butter Cup.

Thought I'd add one more option to the list... gold pencilled Hamburgs have rosecombs...They are a medium size lg fowl breed here is a link to them to show what they look like when feathered out http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Hamb/BRKHamburg.html

well...if she lives in Central or South America there could be another posibilities, as there are many native breeds that are MUCH MUCH older than the Araucana it self, many of this breeds have Pre Polynesian origins, like many of the Easter Island breeds. Huapi or Caipira stocks...any thing from the Araucana /Mapuche folks, many of these pre Columbian breeds have direct Oceanic ancestry with Oceanics like Moa, Rapa Nuis, Ayam Cemani, Ayam Balli, Waddling chickens, Quetros, Colloncas, Quechuas, "Four Fingered" chickens....and many landraces with only local names: Caipiras, etc...passion fowls too...can't remember any more right now.


or maybe she lives in europe where the standards for Araucana calls for Beards and Muffs............but if you live in the USA they are EE MUTTS sorry
