Minorca Or Andalusian?

[britesidefarm]

I have a 5 year old Black Minorca (so I thought) and I am now curious if maybe I got an Andalusian? She lays white eggs which both breeds do, has white earlobes, Slate legs, a large single comb, and a fairly long tail compared to my other breeds.

I’m at a loss. She could be either.

I’m going with Andalusian.
Minorcas have huge earlobes.

If it would help, all her offspring we’re usually splash, but I also bred her to a white rooster

Hm. Usually?
Were there any other colors?

Are you sure they were splash? It shouldn't be possible to get splash out of a black chicken. What color was the rooster that produced the splash chicks? As for breed, I'll go with Andalusian because Minorcas aren't as common.

Only one chick out of her survived, and it’s this cockerel:

He has some red leakage from the Rooster I have:

Wow, he's really pretty! I have no idea what color he is, but not splash.

You're cockerel is a pretty cream.
