New addition to my flock what breed is she?

[Jambo88]

Hi all

I've got a few new additions to my flock 1 bluebell and 5 commercial browns and this one but im not too sure on the breed?

Shes a hybrid from Country Fresh Poultry in Oswestry and is around 16weeks old, the person I got her off just got a random batch and didn't get told what all the breeds were?


After looking on the net she looks kinda like a Splash Copper Maran but the colour of the hackle is different? Also he got told that she might be a blue egg layer?

What do people reckon?

She is very pretty!
Being that you are in the UK I don't know. I am sure you have breeds/colors that aren't common here in the US.

What a pretty girl! She does not look like a splash copper Marans in any event. Likely one of the newer hybrids that many hatcheries are creating. May be a hybrid that is specific to that hatchery. You could try contacting them and see if they will give you any help.

Definitely a hybrid of some sort, as you said. Not sure what mix, though. She looks like our austrawhites (australorp x white leghorn) except for that hackle coloring. Very pretty bird regardless. Curious what color she'll lay. X2 on contacting the breeder if you want more specific details. These places are always developing different hybrids.
