Got her today. Her Entire Flock was killed, and she was the only survivor.

Were the RIRs purebred? Or were they RSLs?

I really don't know

 

[galaga6846]

She’s not a pure Leghorn.

That's obvious

Okay, sorry lol. I just saw some posts saying Leghorn so wanted to clarify. Sorry if I misunderstood.

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Okay. Just wondering because it would make sense for her to be an RSL cross.

Now I'm thinking Tetra Tint. He had a RIR roo, and leghorn hens. That would be the cross from what (little) I understand, and she resembles one. The eggs do too

Nope…mixed color feathers, wrong egg color, and missing the white earlobes.

Ahh didn't notice that in the photo...good catch.

She barely has any earlobes at all

 

[galaga6846]

I am satisfied that she is the product of a RIR father and a white leghorn mother. This would reflect the breeds in her original flock. The cross would produce a cream colored hen with red leakage and occasional black flecks. She lays a light cream egg with a pinkish tint.

I understand that this cross is sometimes called a Tetra Tint. I'm quite certain this is her breed. Yay!

Clean black legs

Ah. Not the cross you mentioned then.

Really? She has all of the traits otherwise. I thought I solved it.
