I don’t believe she is a production hybrid. But, she’s broody now!Yes, the foot feathers and pea comb are a puzzle to me as well. However, I'm obviously new to this and have no idea. Also, how likely is for production hens to go broody??![]()

Some light brown/ pinkish. I have one welsummer that lays the speckled eggs brown and a black copper marans that lays a darker brown. The rest of my hens all lay some shade of light brown, pinkish and I do see an almost white one but not true white. Nothing super excitingWhat egg color?
This hens are no more than 2 years old according to the information I was given by the previous owner, if that helps.Could she be some kind of new hatchery concoction?
So she’s probably laying a pale brown. Which wouldn’t be too typical for a CQ.Some light brown/ pinkish.

That is what I was told, she had like a total of 40, she raised them since chicks and that she got them from hackle hatchery, I believe. They where living in a small backyard, in that part of town roosters are not allowed either. The lady was thinning out her flock. That's pretty much all I know.Are you sure they got them from a hatchery?
The lady I got them from wasn't sure of what breed most of them were.It is strange that she doesn’t seem to fit into a hatchery “breed.” But mixes do happen.
