Crazy Mixed-Up Chicken

[ninjapoodles]

This is the same "Mystery Chick" I've posted since it was a couple weeks old. I'm still guessing Easter Egger, but geez, it looks like a true Heinz-57 to me! Also, now that the hackle and tail feathers are coming in, I'm leaning more toward cockerel. Opinions?

wow... I'd call that a Puzzle Chicken!

These mixed up chickens really look like someone cut up four or five chickens and jammed the different parts together.

That's exactly what I thought! What all breeds do you see?

I haven't a clue... I'm not that good yet.

I know I don't see RIR or BO.

I also think it looks like a roo, EE type, green legs, pea comb, and muff/beard

Easter Egger rooster...yep, quite a wild color/pattern combo on that boy!

I've never seen anything like it. The EE hens I have are all "of a type," and even a similar color-scheme. This guy doesn't fit in ANYWHERE...but for some reason, I like him.

I also have a SOLID white EE roo...is that unusual? These were both the "free rare/exotic" chick included in MMH orders.

 

[speckledhen]

It's not unusual to have a white EE. They can be very beautiful birds.

Good grief that is one confused bunch of chickens in that one.
