Could someone please tell me what breed my hen is?

[luvmychix]

She is very pretty and I would like to get some more... but i don't know what she is. I was told by the people I bought her from that she came in a bantam purebred mix from Ideal if that helps and she is about 8-9 months old. Thank you very much!

Sorry....can you explain this "bantam purebred mix" thing to me??? If she's a mix...she can't be purebred???

 

[luvmychix]

they were all pure... but they ordered different breeds that all came together. so it was a mixture of breeds.... make more sence?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Much more sense! No idea WHAT that bird is though! lol!

Um...here's some guesses:
D'Uccle???

I have a feeling she is more a mix than pure...but from the description....something happened in that hatchery that they maybe don't know about???

what a pretty bird!

She kind of looks like a Blue Orpington-crossed with something, but the feathery legs make her look like a Cochin or Langshan influence. I'm no expert though...

I don't know either, but i have a rooster that looks like that except he dosen't have feathers on his legs. I think he is so pretty that is why i kept him the other roo's got butchered.

To me it looks like a bantam brahma cross with maybe an orp, or does it have to be crosses with another bantam?

Kind of looks like it has some brown-red cochin in it.

Blue Cochin cross of some sort.
