No idea what I have.

I picked up a chicken for 2 dollars at a swap meet. And I’ve been told it’s many things so I’m here to see if anyone can help me out. The lady said it’s a hen that’s crossed between Ameraucana and legbar. I’m thinking it’s a roster banty mix but I really don’t know anymore after reading up on different mix breeds. Anyone’s help would greatly appreciated. I’ve added a picture and can get different pics tomorrow if needed.

Looks like an Easter Egger cockerel to me.

Easter Eggers look so many different ways, so I suppose it could be. I definitely agree on the cockerel part.

Cockerel, mixed breed (EE most likely)

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Oh, and welcome to BYC.

Oh, and welcome to BYC.

Thanks for the greetings. Yeah I agree with you , but there’s a gentleman on here that saying young birds can full you. But for 2 dollars I’ll give a couple more months and go from there.

I see saddle feathers that are definitely a roosters. Just in front of the tail...those pointy ones. Then those pointed neck feathers (hackles) are all male too.
Pullets and hens have lovely rounded feathers in those places.

Easter Eggers are birds that gave been bred to carry a colored egg gene. Americanas and (some?) Legbars fall into that category. As EEs, red color patches in the wings are indicators of a cockerel, and the narrow pointed saddle feathers are male specific.
These are my two EE cockerels (that have since been rehomed).
