From the "misc. bantam bin"

[lynchfisher]

At the feed store last year, we decided to choose a "grab bag" chick out of an assorted bantam bin. I think it also said "ornamental" but I don't remember for sure. Now it bugs me that I don't know what this little hen is. She looks like a blue wheaten ameraucana, but she lays just off-white eggs. Any other thoughts?

Looks like a Bantam salmon faverolles to me, but I am no expert. They should have feathered feet, I think, but I have seen pics of hatchery ones that don't. She sure is pretty

I guess that's where I'm always stuck...she doesn't have feathered feet. But I didn't know salmon faverolles could not have feathered feet (?)

Thanks for the idea though!

bantam easter egger. Some dont lay blue eggs

Yes, if hatchery. After looking at more, if she is a blue wheaten Easter Egger, that would make a lot of sense. Most hatchery ameraucana are actually EEs.

Thanks...that what I've been thinking, but I thought there might be something else out there I hadn't run across.
