Or a Barred rock rooster with a silver laced wyandotte hen? Or vice versa?

Good looking hen.What color was the leghorn and what color was the old english?LF Leghorn rooster over an old english game bantam hen (yes, ouch, poor mama. This wasn't a planned breeding, the hen just showed up from the woods one day with a bunch of chicks, and he was the only candidate for the father). She's about 3 lbs and lays a tinted, almost white egg. She's extremely broody.
These are from the above hen crossed with a LF silver laced wyandotte rooster (another accident, like mother, like daughter)
Leghorn was white. Hen was mixed color (the brown one in front, similar bbr but not dark enough overall). Not very sure where the almost crele coloration came from in the hen. Once upon a time, I had wheaten, silver duckwing, and splash oegb. They were my first birds 11 years ago. They interbred, created a few interesting colors, now I'm out of breeding them. I kept 2 hens for broodies. One hen, the white one, is 7 years old and is the mother to the other one, who is 5 years old. Here's a picture of the three generations. All 3 are fabulous broodies, and my old girls still lay eggs.Good looking hen.What color was the leghorn and what color was the old english?
VERY good looking chickens!
This is Snow. She is a Light Brahma Roo X Buff Orpington. Her sister looks more like a light brahma without feathered legs. There was two roos that looked exactly like light brahmas as well, but they are in the freezer now.
I didn't take pics but I had a Golden Laced Wyandotte that hatched a dozen chicks. Each one is the shape of her (compact and petite), but the color of whatever roo she mated. So some are black (austrlorp) and some barred (barred rock). They all have single combs too. Fun thread!!
