Help! Welsummer or Americauna??

[backyardahens]

Anyone know what type of hen this is? I was told maybe Americauna.. I don't know the age but she's at least 7 months and has not produced any eggs yet..

Someone else suggested she may be a welsummer...

That's a Brown Leghorn. Ameraucanas have pea combs, not single combs, so it's not an Ameraucana. Also, Welsummers have a dual-purpose "build" and red earlobes, which your bird does not have.

Wow! I'll have to look that up. I'm going to try to post an up close picture. She is not friendly, she is very flighty too!

Then she's definitely a Brown Leghorn.

x2 She'll lay tons of white eggs for you.

Definitely Brown Leghorn.

Well darn, I was really hoping for some really pretty blue eggs! Guess I'll need to add to my flock now!

Light Brown Leghorn. You won't get any blue eggs, but you will get a boatload of large white ones!
