Breed guess game!

Nope! Here are better photos

How many breeds does he have in him? Is it just three? So far we have Svarthöna and Wyandotte down. Is he part Brahma? (Sorry if this was already asked. I missed a lot of guessing, so now I’m just trying to catch up )

Woah I didn’t even know those had leg feathers. But no this might be a give away but they’re one of the biggest breeds of chickens

That does make sense. I thought that EEs are just Ameraucanas x any other breed. Or at least that what some hatcheries sell their EEs as.

Hatchery EEs are Easter Egger X Easter Egger. Nothing else.

Easter Egger term is also used for any mixed breed with the blue egg gene. Like Easter Egger X Barred Rock. Other colored egger combinations can be made without EEs, which would include Crested Cream Legbars, or of course Ameraucanas bred to brown Eggers.

Yes, hatcheries do that.

Yes Brahma! Blue Brahma to be exact. He has two more, one is a beautiful patterned German breed the other is Wyandotte but one of the darker colorations with red lacing

I can say Brahmas aren't the biggest.

Not the biggest for sure but one of them

Good sized for sure.

They're normal sized compared to Malays, & Indio Gigantes.

Ok. Yeah that makes sense. I did already know that most of the EE’s where just a blue Egg laying breed x a brown egg laying breed. That what I figured the hen that is my avatar was.I thought she was a Legbar cross. I got her from an EE bin.
Thanks, this was helpful! I was just going off of what I thought, but that’s nice to know I figured out something right.
