I've never had one like it but it sure is pretty. Looking forward to seeing what it turns out to be!

Going off of their site, I think she is a Lakenvelder. I wouldn't be surprised if they feather out like this as chicks.

Do you have a pic of it as a chick?

I do have pics of her really tiny, but they are so blurry. She looked just like a barred rock, and I assumed that's what she was, until her barring turned more like wide stripes.

Thank you for your reply!

I looked at EVERY SINGLE breed they carry, even looked up more pictures if examples of each of the possibilities on Google.

Single comb
Clean legs
Orange Legs (yellow?)
Four toes

When she first started feathering out, she still looked like a barred rock or cuckoo Maran. Now, not so much!

Thanks!

Maybe it's a Spangled Hamburg?

Not a barred chicken.

I agree. Her coloring has become much too wide.

She is definitely different! I'm anxious to see the end result too!

 

[Cheers2Ya]

That doesn't look like any barred rock I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful markings!

I have to agree with you at this point, not barring. I'm looking forward to seeing her all grown up. I hope she keeps the deep contrast.

Nope. Not a Hamburg, too dark.
