For the life of me I cannot figure out what breed this chicken is. She came from a breeder (purchased "grab bag" of eggs someone else hatched, mixed them up, then gave me chicks) so I am reluctant to conclude mutt. I have no problem with mutts - but I want to give identification the ole' college try.
From this angle - obviously going to be a silver laced something or other. But the black legs have me confused:
But from this angle you can see the markings fade towards the back and completely disappear. The tail is completely black.
And can you say "ATTITUDE"? The white patches over the ears are very distinct.
She is significantly bigger than all of her brood mates and carries herself with the chest poofed out fairly often.
Her comb is still yellowish and hasn't grown at all since I got her at 3 weeks. Initially I had her pegged as a roo - but when all of the others started pinking up she stayed the same. So now I am thinking hen.
What say y'all - sages of the chicks?
