Hi all.
I have a weird question, hoping might have an answer to.
We just accuired a Barred Rock pullet from lady that had no idea what breeds she have or didn't have.
I was told Summer, the barred Rock awas just that, a barred rock, but to our amazement she just started laying eggs a few days ago, and they are green. What in the world....
She has the normal barrinf, yellow legs, small pea comb (?), and is rather fullbodied. Does anybody have any idea as to what happened? What cross bred might she be.
I aslo have another pullet, Vida Blue, that is huge. She has legs that are at least 2-3" longer than my older Orpingtons, and she has feather all the way down her legs and on all of her toes. Her coloring is pale grey, with brown splashes on longer feathers. Her legs are bluish/grey and her feet are the biggest feet I have ever seen on a chicken.
She is not quite ready to lay eggs yet, but when she does, it will be interesting.
Any ideas as to what she might be....heinz 57?
Thanks, Petra
