HELP ME! BEAUTIFUL HEN UNKNOWN BREED!!

[donrae]

Are her eggs pure white like store eggs or a creamy color?

I don't think she's pure anything, honestly. She's not a brown leghorn--wrong earlobe and leg colors. Not a Welsummer, again wrong leg color and egg color. Not really an Easter egger if she's straight combed, clean faced and lays white eggs. I'm thinking mostly game hen.

I also added another pic I found of her while she was up n running around. I was so busy I relied on my teenager to collect all the eggs in the coop for a couple days and of course he did NOT do this so savannah went broody!

I wish mine would go broody when I don't collect the eggs.

Have u tried not collecting eggs with all of ur hens? What kind of chickens do u have? It's so crazy bc I was complaining to my hubby about none of my girls going broody but after leaving 18 eggs in the coop it snapped her into it! Maybe try leaving a lot of eggs?!? Lol

What exactly is a " game hen"??

 

[Peep-Chicken]

Sometimes I don't collect eggs. I have Cochins, Sumatras, Wellies, Polish's and sex links.

Her eggs were more of a creamy white not a bright white but they were whiter than my pekin eggs which are creamy color her eggs are also a little smaller than the stores and pointy at the tip

Creamy white= game hen. They're known to be great foragers and mothers. I'd take one over a Rhode Island Red any day!

Try putting a huge bunch together n see what happens. I think most of ur chicken breeds aren't the type to go broody anyways. From what I've read Rhode Island reds, buff Orpington's (and one more breed but i forgot) are the type to go broody. However, my friend has silkies that sits on all her eggs! Good mama too!!

Awesome!!! She's a gentle bird until she went broody!! Then she not only pecks me to death when I get near her but tries to twist n rip the skin off my arm!! Lol
