Rachel wants to know what breed she is

[Lacy Duckwing]

She might have Cubalaya in her. Looking at the side to picture....

Looks like maybe a modified pea comb.

If I hold her comb up it looks like a single come folded over. Her coloring is similar to a Rhode Island Red but her comb isn't as big as a Rhode Island Red.

Some kind of mix. Of what breeds I’m not sure.

Her tail feathers don't get that long and all the hens I've seen from that breed are much lighter in color.

She sure does have the buck eye look but I would say only partly. She's lovely!

Yeah. I was looking at body build. Again, she might have Buckeye in her.

 

[Vytania]

Where did you get her?

I'm thinking she might be some sort of a mix.



Easter Eggers can have almost any appearance, so she could be one. Easter Eggers are supposed to lay blue or green eggs, but most hatcheries advertise that a few will lay eggs in some shade of brown. So an EE that lays cream/brown eggs is one possibility, if we can't figure out anything more likely.

That comb has me puzzled though: it looks to me like a single comb that's all folded up. Cream Legbars have combs a bit like that, although usually with fewer folds. But 7 years ago, Cream Legbars were not particularly common, so it was also rare to find Legbar-mixes (and her color is definitely wrong for a pure Legbar.)

She came from Rural King and I used to have the name of the hatchery they used that year but I don't remember what it was. Her comb does look like a single comb folded over but not quite the same shape of a regular single comb. Her coloring is closest to a cross between a Rhode Island red and New Hampshire Red. Her eggs are bigger than any of the eggs I get from my other chickens and sometimes have double yolks.

I thought she might have been a Buckeye but the more I look at pictures of them I ended up ruling that out.

Could be. I was just looking at another picture of one and it's pretty close.

Maybe a Buckeye mix, I doubt she’s pure.
