Can't quite make out the comb. Assuming it's a single comb looks like a Large Fowl Old English Game (based on type and white legs), or some other type of Game Fowl or game fowl mix. Definitely female, probably a pullet. Has some shafting, but isn't horrible type wise.

This spring I would like to find some Welsummer and Light Brahma hatching eggs from good quaility stock. I had some but my dogs killed abt. 30 of my birds and now I have to start over. If anyone will sell hatching eggs please let me know for spring. Thank you.Cheryl

I could probably send chicks/juveniles to you if you'd like. I only have four light brahma hens at the moment so no eggs for this year. I have Dave Burchett hens and two Aldrich cockerels and one Aldrich hen. PM me you're interested.

I agree, but the head looks like a Modern Game. Many of these game birds are hybrids.

What breed is in your avitar?

She's a 5 month old Buff Orpington pullet. I raise Buffs exclusively now.

She's very pretty!
I have a mixed flock. She reminds me of my Comfort named Sandy. The other three are red/brown, Sandy is buff. There's a pic of her and the others pin my thread "TeaChick's Chicks".

For the upright hatching, does anyone have a picture of how much of the bottoms they cut out of the cartons?

Just punch out a quarter size hole in the bottom.Not rocket science.
