[jeannieo]

here's a few different views!

the neck feathers look kind of roo and the tail looks like a hen! what breed is it?

 

[jeannieo]

supposedly it's an EE, that's what I was told but now I'm being told by some BYCers that my Audrey that I posted a photo of when she was sick yesterday was a light Brahma, so I'm all confused!

 

[speckledhen]

Your Audrey has the Columbian pattern that is similar to Lt. Brahma coloring, but her legs are clean (no feathers) and the wrong color for a Brahma, plus she has a small beard. She is an EE, not a Lt. Brahma.

Your bird in the first pic, at ten weeks, is a cockerel, IMO.

it is not an EE sorry EEs don't have single combs and I would wait until it crows to get rid of it because it's tail looks very much like a hens

 

[crazyhen]

Like speckled hen said it is an EE. They do not all have the reg. comb type since they are a mix anyway. Like the coloring the comb can be different. Roo or Hen. It sort of looks like a hen. ??? Wait a bit longer before discarding it. Gloria Jean
