FAVORITE CHICKEN BREEDS??

[CrspyChkn]

Why am I so excited I hope somebody can actually see through my horrible pic takin skills and tell me her breed.

Are the bottoms of the feet yellow, or white? What color eggs does she lay?

And, what color eggs does she lay?

Are the bottoms of her feet white or yellow?

Also, where did you get her?

Oh, beat me to it.

Her feet are yellow, and she showed up at a friend of mines house, she had her for several months, and then messaged me to see if I knew anybody that wanted a chicken. I said duh, u know I do as long as it's a hen and not a rooster. We have one rooster, scooter, and he is a Cochin banty, I think, and he only has one eye, and I can't let anybody be mean to him. So hen only. And she brought her to me that night, while we were outside trying to catch Lillie and her 9 babies that were only a day or 2 old. Only took us like 15 hours to catch em all, and I only suffered one almost black eye or cracked cheek bone. Sorry, I get a little excited talking about em all, and sometimes I can't stop it lol it just leaks out. All my non-chicken friends don't understand it. Maybe I just need new friends.

And as far as I know, she hasn't laid any eggs yet. She came around oct 14.

Ok, so I am going to say Blue Jersey Giant. They tend to lay pale to dark large brown eggs, mine frequently have darker brown specks. I once got a really weird looking egg… it was a normal egg but with white on the ends. Let me know if you want to see a picture of it. Jersey Giants are my personal favorite breed so far, they are such a joy! I especially love the blue color. And you are right, she is gorgeous!

Maybe a Sapphire Gem

More likely a Sapphire Gem -- they're much more common and thus more likely to be randomly available.

Unless she grows up to be absolutely huge, in which case she might be a JG.

I voted all of them. Just a couple is too few! All chickens have ups and downs. . . but mostly ups!

Isnt she?!? And she's so sweet. How do I tell if she's jersey giant or sapphire gem? Do I have to wait till she lays an egg? Chicken breeds are so hard I have another one I'm not sure about the breed. I look online and there will be 3 or 20 breeds that look alike. It's frustrating. But it's ok, I love them regardless of their breed. And I'd love to see the egg and your chicken. . Ain't jersey Giants really big? She's normal sized.

How do I tell the difference between the jersey giant and the sapphire gem? She's not huge, she's bigger than our leghorn hen, but I wouldn't call her giant. She's normal.
