Guess the breed or gender!

You have the color and sex right, but not the breed.

Is it a D'uccle? I said D'anver cause I couldn't see feathers on her feet.

Yes! She’s hatchery quality, so she only has feathers on her legs.

Ok! She's beautiful!

Do you have pictures of her parents? Since crests are the result of a dominant gene, at least one of her parents must have had a crest. I agree that she is a leghorn mix.


They are both production reds (New Hampshire red x RIR crosses). Their color isn’t correct for purebred New Hampshire reds and neither has the right comb for a buckeye (which would be a pea comb).

Beardless EEs aren’t too uncommon. Her small wattles are due to the pea comb gene, which usually restricts wattles even without a beard present.

No, I have no photos... they died in 2016

Interesting...bought them from a hatchery. No chance their feathers will change colors? I was wondering about the pea comb.

Yup! And that’s the last of the chickens I own that don’t have a TOTALLY obvious breed lol Spice is the girl in that pic and even she is pretty obvious. Just not as obvious as say a buff Orpington

I doubt their feathers will change color at this age.
