English Longleg? Looks like a dove to me. What did I buy?

[Cabochick05]

Hi all you crazy chicken people! I have a question about one of my girls.

I forgot what they said she was when when I bought her. She is just so sweet and loves to be held. Does anyone know what she is? They said that the chicks could be all different colors from black, brown to gray and I remember they said her mother came all the way from England...who knows?

Any help is appreciated as I can't find here anywhere on the internet.
She is very VERY small with loooong legs!

Probably a Modern Game. Can't remember the name of that color, though, dang it. Lemon blue, maybe?

Thanks! Now I have a reference for my internet overkill of research! I appreciate the quick response.

I agree, looks like a lemon blue modern game bantam.

This is a great website! Thank you so much everyone. I've been able to find a few pics but none with her coloring. She doesn't seem to stand so 'upright' as the breed is depicted but maybe because she's young. I don't even know how old she is right now. I'll keep up the search, have a great weekend to all!

modern game mix - that earlobe is awfully white. moderns (even european ones) should have red earlobes.

you can find lots of pics of modern game bantams here:

Yes, Lemon Blue Modern Game mix due to earlobes.

BEAUTIFUL bird! Lovely personalities too!

Earlobe looks turquoise to me--I believe that is caused by red earlobes with black/slate skin. There's a thread at the coop.
