I wonder what mix Meeka is? (new pics post 18)

The odds of her being a Sultan X are very slim since they are so rare. Thats what I get for not reading LOL

I just saw that the bottom bird is not the top bird. She would WAY more feathered feet even though she is a cross, Sultans have Vulture Hocks which would produce normal looking foot feathering in a cross and not a few feathers. I would say she is a Polish X Langshan

I agree with you, but Langshans are just as rare. Both are usually only found when people get them from some assortment at a hatchery. (sadly with rare birds, they're not rare in hatchery quality.)

Also, most Langshans sold are dark, and would bring a lot of sizey-ness to the bird.

Yeah. Even my hatchery langshan girly is really tall!

To me, I just don't see langshan in her.

The guessing game is still on... I'll try to take a better pic of her!

Like I said, she is quite small, has thick smooth feathers, a topknot, a small beard, straight comb and wattles, white skin, white legs, white feet, a bit of feathers on the legs. Lays medium-sized, almost-white eggs, despite the red earlobes.

More guesses??

The only breed I know of that lays eggs like that are Faverolles, and dorkings. Neither have crests.

you make a good point, lets see what 2 more common breeds would she be crossed with Polish and???? It would have to be a SC bird with feathered feet since she has a SC.

I managed to snap a couple pics of Miss Meeka this afternoon...

Am still thinking she has some sultan in her but mixed with?? She has a funky little wavy single comb going on
