Euskal Oiloa ( Basque Thread)

I'm wondering if this is a basque. Recently acquired them from a home with communal chickens. She's now the top hen in the flock, whereas her sister is the bottom.

She is not Basque. She looks like a bantam, but I'm not sure what kind.

My guess? If she lays green eggs, an Isbar. She could be a mix with some Basque but a lot is wrong with the way she looks.

She is very pretty!

...Autom...Look at your post then look at Naturespace avatar next to it.....it is easier that way to compare. Forget the color...look at her tail and the angle it is at, the wing length and how she carries it...the overall body depth and yes her leg color also. Once you have some Basque Hens..........You'll never go back to the others....Really.................Mike

 Your mileage may vary   

 
I am "chicken banking" my most SOP pair.  They are going to a friend's place.  She wanted a cock/erel and a few more layers, and I need to be down a few.  The dark one I posted who was dubbed is my fave so he stays, along with the Mille Fleur cockerel and pullet.  I have quite a few basque eggs in the bator.  Let's see what happens.

Are these my eggs? I'm dying to know if the chicks from my Mille Fleur hen grow too large and can't get out of the shell! When is hatch day?
If they are not my eggs, please ignore my odd curiosity.

That tail isn't quite right for an Isbar and the colouration is all wrong, too.

Do you have a guess about what she is?
