Hey folks, I know I have two black tailed buffs (male and one hen,) but can someone tell me the colour of the speckledy hen? She's way too big but I lvoe her all the same, se's so docile. I'll be hatching from these guys shortly... once the egg laying gets a bit better. They are only starting again now after the winter.
very shy buff
rooster
??? hen
they are all overweight from feeding them up loads over the winter - and have nice full crops for the pics!!!
What do we think? Be brutally honest, as I am breeding this year and although I am appy with the buffs I am not sure about the speckledy? one.
After your post, I did some looking at the japanese and OEGB and I see now the difference. OEGB have longer legs and the wings are short/compact. Japanese have short legs and long wings like a serama.
Japs look a lot fuller body to me an OEG is usually kina lanky

She looks like a buff-mottled, maybe a start to mille fluer? Your hen is not exactly a BTB, but she is close. She shouldn't have the pencil markings on her back if she were true BTB.

I knew my silkied chick was silkied as soon as the wing feathers starting coming in around day 3. They just looked different than all the others - more stringy at the ends - for lack of a better description. Now that he is about 3 weeks old I can tell from the other feathers. I would assume the same for Frizzled. All my cochin frizzled became frizzled the first week.

Yes, she has that lanky look...I sorta am drawn to the gamey look more than the puffy look.
