This is Valerie. I want to buy more of her, what kind is she just to be sure?

(I'm cleaning up around the main chicken house, so please excuse the mess).

Where was she purchased from? I'm thinking mixed breed. Is she a bantam?

 

[Lost praetorian]

Tsc she's fr the bantam bin. I got her because she was asleep on top of the heat lamp.

She looks like a cochin.
I assume she has a single comb?

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

That's interesting! It doesn't look like she has yellow skin! What color are the bottoms of her feet? She also has quite sparse leg feathering, but that can occur in hatchery birds. @Overo Mare, look at this bird! It also looks like she may be developing white earlobes??

Oh she is odd. I guess hatchery quality BC is the most fitting explanation. I've seen white skinned, 5 toed BC's come from TSC too.

The five-toed ones I always suspect had Silkie blood because they're part of a project Satin/Sizzle/something along those lines. This one also has a bit of a mulberry face... I was considering the potential for Silkie blood in this one as well?

Makes sense!

Sounds like a reasonable conclusion.

So I found out that Rags, who was the cock I got her with, was likely a blue frizzle Cochin bantam. And she's molting now, so I can't really tell.
