I bought this bird in May as a 5 week old Splash Oripington. This bird is at least 24 weeks old. 'It' has not laid a single egg, but neither has it crowed. I thought it was a hen until those saddle feathers came in, very late. Now I am not so sure. Any thoughts? Here 'it' is from another view
..could that roo be a SLW or SLW mix maybe? Can we have a clear picture of his front (chest area), and a good clear profile pic so we can see what kind of body structure and com he has?
Quote:Roo it is. I didn't think a hen could have such saddle feathers but I have only had chickens a year. And he doesn't make a sound. I suspected he was a mutt but I bought him with a group of black Orpingtons and the owner said (then she) came with the group. He does look a bit Wyandottish (if that's a word). I will try to take some more photos tomorrow. It's dark here now. And thank you all for responding!
