Help identifying the breed of this chicken.

[Peonyrose]

Had a mix of eggs from different suppliers last spring with a lousy hatch rate . Have hatched many eggs over the years but apparently that season was for some reason not good ( not just me- other locals noticed it too). Anyway, as a result have a random chook I’m not sure what it is.

Well,, I do recognize the lighter colored one as a DUCK,
On our side of the Equator, mixed breed chickens are called Barn yard mix.
I know that Down under you do have a few different breeds, that are somewhat only in Australia. Some are just an Australian variety.
Beautiful chicken BTW. No idea of breed.
Lets see what others think.

Went and checked the link. Says it is a Vorwerk, But also states as Bantam.
Maybe there are LF versions as well.

Thanks! Yes probably a vorwerk. I forgot I ordered some in the fertile egg adventure of last year. Seriously I had the worst hatch rates ever out of separate egg orders - got one vorwerk & one Sussex, although the araucanas and cream leg bars & ducks were great.

And yes it is the size of a bantam. Pretty funny next to the big chunky Sussex

LF? I'm not familiar with that abbreviation.

I was wondering if that duck was a goose based on its size next to the chicken, lol

Large fowl
