Here are some pictures that was thrown in as a freebie from Cackle Hatchery. She is 5 weeks old. I think here comp got pecked off from the orpington. Any ideas what breed that could be?
Thank you so much

Really? I ordered 3 eater hens but they are brownish almost black. Do they come in so many colors?

 

[oldhenlikesdogs]

They are basically a mutt breed, so they come in many color combinations.

Easter eggers can be any color or combination of colors.

False. Hatchery Easter Eggers aren't mutts. They just haven't been bred toward any sort of breed standard.

Some people consider them a mutt, I do because they can come in any color or they might not have those cute beards. Mine is going to be brown without a beard but she is so sweet I love her.
