She's a mix but.... what?

[Kat2141]

I have one girl that came out of a dozen eggs that we bought that I can't figure out. They hatched July 5th. The roos are all large and so are the rest of the hens. This girl is much smaller and just is different from the others. I was told the flock the eggs came from was buff orpington, barred rock and RIR hens, a black langshan and a golden laced brahma rooster. Any ideas? I'm just curious, she's always been a wild little thing but doctoring her foot right now so she has mellowed out some.

There's probably some E.E genes in her makeup, along with some Brahma and Langshan. Has she started laying yet?

 

[PirateGirl]

Even though you say she is small, I'd bet the Brahma is the father because she has feathered feet and what looks to be a pea comb.

Looks like a Black Langshan x Buff Orpington Cross. She is a Black Sex Link.

No, she hast started yet, but likely will soon... at least 4 of the other 5 hens have. Thanks for the ideas.

No matter what she is, she is a pretty one!

I agree. I once had a hen named Betsy who was a cross between a Black Cochin and a Buff Orpington. Her coloring was almost identical to your girl.

I was thinking same thing from choices you've given but that cross is @$$ backwards to produce a sex link or a hen like that.
Langshan rooster must be gold based instead of silver. IDK doesn't seem to add up.

Dang you’re right. That particle cross won’t produce a sex link.
Could be Brahma or Cochin over the Barred Plymouth Rock.

It's impossible to say for sure. Maybe the gold laced Brahma over a barred rock hen, but that doesn't account for the small size. Perhaps there was a bantam or something else in the flock that you weren't told about, or perhaps a smaller rooster made a stealth visit to that flock. In any case, she is beautiful, and hopefully she gives you plenty of eggs.
