ISA Blonde (What breed am I?)

[JacinLarkwell]

I never suspected Easter Egger, she has short neck feathers. That would be quite a surprise if it were so. Is there an Easter variety with a similar appearance? I thought they always had those fluffy beards. (She's also about 6 months old and based on her behavior I suspect she will be coming into lay any day now.)

Hoover's Hatchery has a EE group with parent stock in a type of European mix that doesn't have beards or muffs. Plus EEs themselves are now mixes between EE parents, so traits are easy to lose

WOW that’s a beautiful chicken!

Thank you so much, we love her a lot

I took these pictures this morning. I suppose she may have a little more neck fluff than the others...

She doesn't have a beard. I do think she's one of the new types of EE's though. Let us know what color she lays when she starts!

Probably some olive egger mix?

Brown eggs

She lays eggs identical in shape, size, and color to our other ISA Brown

Updates. She is now laying eggs. Her eggs are the same size and shape as our ISA Brown's eggs. She alsi has the same exact comb/waddle shape as our ISA Brown. I'm leaning again toward a genetic abnormality if that's even possible.
