I'm at the mercy of the experts here....she's got the green legs, muffs and beard for sure but then she has those feathered legs like a Brahma or D'Uccle plus she's a bantam. It will be neat to see what kind of egg she lays.

Most likely an EE. They are in themselves a mystery chick, because the hatcheries don't sell true auracanas or americanas, but only crosses that maintain the colored eggs.

Today, much to our surprise, little Elkie was in the nest box, we thought she was just sitting on one of the Cinnamon Queen's eggs.....when we checked later this is what we found......she's only 18 weeks old.....

Never would have guessed she would lay a white egg.....or maybe it is white-ish......What color eggs do D'Uccles lay?
