help me identify this bird

[baunlee]

I have no idea!


thanks in advance for your ideas. I asked the seller as these were sent incorrectly and she had no thoughts.

They hatched looking blue, then turned red, then went on to develop patterning and white around the hackle.

Silver campine cockerels

They look like Egyptian Fayoumi mixes

the campine seems close but mine are more brown than black. I will look at more pictures of this breed. thanks for your advice.

 

[baunlee]

They are probably Fayoumi or silver Campine mixes. This color pattern is common in continental European breeds but I wouldn't expect any but the two I named to be widely available.

Pretty sure these are Fayoumi's. Campine's have darker black feathers and a slightly different pattern.

I would guess hatchery quality Fayoumi.

Yeah, not campines - campine boys henny feathered, and not quite that big, too.
