Stray chook has come to live with us

[cheekychick]

and I have no clue on what breed she may be. I cant get too close to her at this stage as she is still quite scatty, so this is the best pic I could take for the moment. Any ideas from you wonderful people on what she could be?

Looks like a mutt to me. Kind of cool lacing on her feathers though.

I had a feeling she was a mix ..... but I still think she looks rather pretty considering

Heres a couple more

She just showed up in your yard?

 

[Minniechickmama]

Maybe some Silver Penciled Wyandotte or something like it. I see a single comb and gray legs?

 

[LindsayB]

does 'she' have spurs? or is the grass playing tricks on me.....

 

[Minniechickmama]

It looks like "she" may have a serious case of the mites! There is something not right with those legs.

How did a stray chook come to join your family? That sounds like an intriguing story...Do tell!

By the way, I am completely new to chickens, so I have no idea what breed or gender she is. Sorry!

Hens have spurs too - Honestly she does look like a she.

Have no clue what she is though. . . Interesting looking though.

I'd be shocked to see a random chicken come wandering to our yard.

She reminds me of my hen Bluestra but in silver with lace trimming. She is a EE X Red cochin/EE Backcross.

But your hen is Beautiful even with the spurs. If she does lay or is going to lay soon. Please post a picture of her eggs. She may be a mutt, but she may lay a surprise. My guess is tinted colored eggs- brownish. I do want to say she could be a Silver Laced Cochin cross of some type but I am just speculating. Because there is no feathers on her legs. Plus her coloring in her legs are very dark. But with mixes certain traits may show and others may not.

Congrats on this new arrival to your home.
