Hairy Hen

[JacinLarkwell]

what do you mean? I am perfectly fine. What I meant to say was that it was the pretties "Cornish" hen I have seen. I didn't mean that I was sure it was a Cornish.

Guess I should've put that from the beginning.

But then why would you even put "cornish"? No one ever mentioned that breed before you

I have a good mix of egg laying farmyard mix chickens and some are gorgeous. This one is strange though. She is the sweetest thing but she has hair instead of feathers. What is her background? They are all healthy and her family members are all feathered. View attachment 2929240

Love it! She's so pretty!!!

Anyway thank you all. Silky in there somewhere. She is one of my favourites regardless. Based on some of the comments, do I check out the eye?

Some chicken breeds are required to have orange eyes, some red eyes, others yellow or whitish and other breeds have brown or dark brown eyes.

Being of mixed heritage, I would consider her eyes rather normal.

Here are some pictures of Ocular Mareks in chicken eyes for comparison:

She might be from Hedemora lines? She looks it. They can have silkied/wooly feathers as well.
