Breed Identification Please

[Simms Chickens]

I have no useful information to add. Just wanted to say she is beautiful and matches the color scheme of your house quite nicely too.

Ha ha ha! Thank you! I’m an interior designer so, my family was laughing and loving your reply! Too funny.

Well if I may chime in here....
Feed stores tend to source their chicks from either local breeders or hatcheries. My guess is she came from a show breeder that probably didn't segregate his colors into different breeding pens. Maybe that is why they sold to the feed store. But

Anywho, I digress.
I speculate that she is indeed a Dutch Bantam but possesses a few key color genes.
Certainly, she has the mottle gene in her. But, not quite the normal mottle gene. I believe she has what is called "hysterical mottling" which is the same form found in Anconas and Exchequer Leghorns.
I also believe that, like a Golden Neck D'Uccle, she has 1 copy of dominant white.

So, what this would theoretically make is a hysterically mottled bird with the dull buff and white speckling/filling of a golden neck.

If you breed her to a Mille Fleur I would expect to her to throw 50% MF chicks and 50% Golden Necks.

Hope this helps

Thank so much. Yes! Very, very helpful.

Wardle Feed in Denver.

Her coloring appears to be the splash version of Blue Mille Fleur, which is Golden Neck, as others stated before, the Gold Necks I've seen don't have blue, maybe someone has seen one? Which is why I'm thinking it's the splash version of Blue Mille Fleur which is either Golden Neck/very close to it

Do you have any idea which hatchery supplies them? That would help narrow it down a lot.

Don't listen to me because I have no idea and no need to tell me i'm wrong because I 95% am BUT... I think she is very pretty and could be a Lavender Orpingtion

Lavender Orpingtons are beautifully stunning birds!
I wish they were more popular in my area because I'd spend the money to get them.
