Guess the breed-Chicken

[dretd]

Poule Limousine? I don't know!

So close, I'll give it to you!

:

The breed goes by either:

Coq de Peche du Limousin which roughly translates to the rooster of fishing of the Limousin region (as its feathers are used for fly-tieing), or

La Poule Limousine which translates to the Limousine Hen (or just La Limousine).

Thanks for the info! Are Limousines a good layer? Are they docile? Try to guess this!

Would you consider him a Wheaton or a BBR Rooster? Wicked spurs. Big comb. Cant see his tail though, seems like the tail carriage is really low so I'm not thinking Game.

Just cuz I have to guess something I'll start off with Marans.

I thinks what is throwing me off is that you can't see this guy's tail. Are you being tricky and this is a bird that's normally dubbed so he looks different?

Just to keep things going I'll guess American Game (not dubbed).

Here's a better picture.

Oh and it's not American Game.

Hmmm, I still think he looks gamey but un-dubbed, but that hen really is heavy bodied for that, more like a dual purpose. I'll try one more: OEG. You'll have to give a hint if not and tell me if this is a breed that is normally dubbed or not (am I on the right or wrong path)?
