Mystery Breed

[Sarah RN]

Hello! Any idea on what beautiful breed this is? When my husband and I bought this pullet from a farm (I think we were told that she was 10 weeks old...we just wanted her because she was so pretty), we were told that she is a golden laced wyandotte. I don’t know her exact age but I believe she is now about 12 weeks old. The more we look at her the more we don’t think she is a Wyandotte. She has black comb, black face, black beak, black feet, black nails, black bottom of her feet. The black part of her feathers have greenish sheen. We did some research and we were for sure she could be a Black Copper Maran or something. But her feet aren’t feathered. Thanks in advance!

Mixed breed.

Mixed breed.

Thank you!! That was my hunch as well. We were just confused because we were told that she is a golden laced Wyandotte. I’m curious to know which breeds were mixed, but pretty crazy how she has all these black color features. I thought only one or two breeds had that much black on them.

Looks like a Wyandotte X Easter Egger mix, your chicken has a Rosecomb but blue/gray legs.
Just a guess.

She is a pretty pullet. Does not look like a marans in coloring or body type. I agree likely a mix breed.

Thank you! Your feedback is appreciated. Her comb and face JUST started turning a bit pink/reddish few days ago. But it was black/dark gray when we got her. I looked up Easter Egger and her feet does look like it!

She really is beautiful, we immediately fell in love with her and took her home with us, haha.

You'll know for sure when she starts to lay eggs.

If mixed with Easter Egger, egg should be blue, correct? I’m so excited if so! We will see I guess!
