I can tell she's a buff, but color doesn't help ID the breed

This hen is one of our survivors. Her back feathers have been pulled due to too many excited roos. I was questioning her gender because of the HUGE comb, but she's definately a she!

Some hatchery Buff Orpington's have large combs.

Does it lay an egg? What color? It's kinda small looking. Hmm

I think she is a buff minoraca its a small leghorn like egg laying breed just my guess

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It's small. My ladies are HUGE now... but I've seen really slender BO from hatchery stock though...

That's what I was getting at, wanted to see if it was laying a white egg. Great minds think alike

Type's off for a buff orp, I agree, buff minorca.

Agree with the Buff Minorca. (White earlobes on her.)

She lays large white eggs, and the only thing she has in common with our buff orpington is her color...ok, gender and yummy egg laying ability as well.

Well, with your advise, I went to McMurray's, and she does look like the buff minorca. I don't think I could have picked her out from their picture, but with your help, I could ID her by the description and picture.

She could be a Buff Leghorn -- the comb certainly fits the breed, as do the white earlobes.
