Is it too late to ask the previous owners the breeds? My guess is BSL or some type of marans cross.

Technically Sylvie is a Welbar - a Welsummer with the sexlinked barring gene to enable gender identification at hatch.

Sylvie is so gorgeousWellie & Legbar hens have the beautiful all black tails!

Sophia I suspect was a BSL though I don’t have positive confirmation from my cousin as she couldn’t remember her breed.

She went broody once and successfully raised her four chicks I gave her.

These chicks were from June 2023.


She passed away earlier this year, I think she was 7 yrs old…?

Sweet pics...that's a long life for a sexlink IMO
