Hello, this little one is 13 weeks and was purchased at TSC. We were told it was a prairie Belle Egger, but I have my doubts. She is the smallest of our mixed bunch and very skittish. Would love to know her breed. Thank you!

She could very well be a Prairie Egger as this is a hybrid and they don’t have a specific appearance.
She definitely looks like one of the newer hybrids that the hatcheries are producing.
Beautiful bird.😊

Welcome to BYC! :frow

I agree with the first poster.. and according to your description it also matches the description given by Hoover's (for prairie bluebell egger), where many TSC's get their chicks from.. the link says they are smaller than others and being crossed with leghorn.. would perhaps include a high alertness level.. notice the wide variety of looks seen in the link.. No two looking exactly alike is one of the best things about "eggers" of any sort.
