Been watching the boards here, and giving my hens time to mature. I saw several posts about mystery crosses bought from Tractor supply. I would appreciate any input!

“Lacie” the Silver Laced Wyandotte (or so I thought) came from a local feed mill. However I don’t feel she has the markings of what a SLW should look like? Now there could have been a mix up because I also ended up with a extra EE instead of a BO. So I just want to get a idea of what breed/breeds she might be. Info and pics;

She is 24 weeks old. Small pea/rose comb (still growing) grey/green legs. Medium size but very lanky. Like literally this gal has the looooongest neck of any of my gals. She looks kinda gangly and turkey like. Probably the most homely henny in my flock. But she has a winning personality, loves to jump on my shoulder and while she doesn’t love to “snuggle” on laps she will make a purr kind of noise when I rub her neck. She is holding out on me in the laying dept so I don’t have a idea on egg color.

That’s very interesting you all! I’m pretty new to the chicken world so I thought easter eggers all had puffed cheeks. I never would have known she was EE.

The feed mill here just hands you a box with your name on it and chicks inside. I had ordered 1 Barred Rock, 1 SLW, 2 E E, and 2 Buff O. Well I right off the bat I knew my order was off when I only see one buff. But it was 10 to close and I wasn’t going to sit there and argue!

3 of them I’m sure are EE cause they have puffy cheeks. Including pics of them...oh wow so I’m going to have tons of aqua eggs?!?!

I’m just thrilled they are all HENS! Since a roo would get me into trouble with city hall!

@ bunnyeberhart one of my EEs looks much like yours Alfredo was actually my first to lay! A pretty little aqua egg.
