Mystery chicken -- brabanter?

[erika613]

Hello!

I have a 20 week old chicken that was supposed to be a Salmon Faverolle, but just isn't.

She was always smaller than the rest of birds her age and when she started to get her feathers in they weren't the right color. And she doesn't have feathered feet.

I've been doing some research, it looks like she might be a brabanter. Thoughts?

She is the escape artist of the flock and even though she is smaller than everyone she is fiesty!

I'm not totally familiar with the breed but that is what it looks like.

Yep that's my guess! Did you buy them online? Sometimes if they don't have a breed in stock they'll send you something of 'equal value' or just extra extra birds

I don't know what she is but makes me smile looking at her. Not a faverolle but just as cute as one.

Thanks! I bought them at our local feed store/co-op back in Feb. I don't remember if they were selling brabanters at the time. Wouldn't surprise me if she did some chick parkour and got herself into the wrong place. Ha!

I got a small cream colored egg yesterday, so she may be laying. I have 3 EE that are the same age and only one has started to lay so I thought maybe it was the others. Who knows. Part of the fun of chickens!

My goodness she is cute!

It is most likely her laying, she's trying to give you faverolleish eggs to keep up her ruse. Lol, that little hairdo just kills me.
