My mom had a small bantam growing up named Henrietta. She was a small clean legged partridge colored girl. VERY smart.... no one knows what breed she was. We don't have any photos..... but every partridge colored hen I show to my mom, she says that is what she looked like. Bantam sized, not too streamlined, not to fat... single comb, Golden partridge color... not super dark brown.
Every time she sees a pic of a Partridge Wyandotte hen... she says THAT'S Henrietta...... but I keep telling her that is a standard size bird, and Henrietta was for sure a bantam. My Grandpa wouldn't have had access to anything fancy...so, what do you think folks? Anyone have anything that fits the bill?
I won't need eggs until Fall or Spring. Please post pics of your hens so I can show my mom and have her pick out which looks like Henrietta
