Mystery Bantam

[CluckyJay]

What do you suppose this is?

Its about a year old.

A barred rock bantam cross or a Dominique bantam cross? It is clean-legged and has a small muff and beard. They only had bantams in the pen.

They had a millie, BBs and more like this one, only they had clean faces. Its so cute and small. lol

Its a mystery to me as I have no idea what other bantams they had in that pen, lol. I'm pretty sure they never had standards in there. They were all so dang cute.

Oh, roo or hen?

Cuckoo Maran?

Hey, that really does look like this tiny gal/guy!!! I remembered what the guy said now, these chickens haven't had babies yet so they probably aren't crosses. You think I really got a CM?? I always wanted one of those, LOL.

Man I can just taste the picked eggs!!!

Definitely a cross.. Not sure with what though. It would be bantam BR with something else. Legs are very pink.. Hmm.. That's tough..

I don't think so. His bars are too lined up to be maran.

Hehe. Its a hen though, right? I took a chance because that cute little fluffy face! Its really sweet but scared of me. And SO fat. Man they must feed these guys candy, lol. I didn't see any EEs in there, hmm.

Sorry, yes looks like a hen

My standard BR has pink legs as well. She could just be a bantam BR with bad leg colouring.

I am pretty new at this, but I have two CMs and they sure look alot like that. I can never tell roo or hens for sure untill I hear cockle doodle do or see an egg

Whatever it is a pretty bird.

Ohh, I am so danged happy its a hen. I would have been happy with a roo too though. Oh man, I can't wait for tiny babies. He said they hadn't started laying yet. But they are around a year old? Think its because of a fatty diet? Hmm. Man I wanna go back and buy more. His chickens all looked so healthy and happy. Just a bit fat, hehe.

Like I said I'm kinda new at this so I am more likely wrong LOL
