Want to play "guess what mix this is"?

I bought this hen at a swap recently. She has 5 toes and a rose comb. What do you think the parentage could be? She lays a cream colored egg. She's also very heavily built, like a tank!

was going to say blue windot X silver laced but the 5 toe throuht me off so i will say got me IDK

 

[RAREROO]

maybe a Blue Wyandotte X Silver Grey Dorking ?

 

[banjoejoe4783]

X 2

I am going with Blue Wyandotte x Salmon Faverolle.

Blue Wyandotte x Silver Dorking. The body type certainly matches it too.

Salmon Faverolle would completely change her color, give her muffs and beard, and feathered shanks.

btw - Love your Modern Game Bantam!

Thanks! He's a handsome guy and thinks he runs the place.

I'm going to have to try and find out what breeds the person that sold her had. Dorkings are pretty rare and so are Blue Wyandottes for that matter. At least they are in this neck of the woods.

Dorkings can be purchased from any common hatchery or feedstore. . . It's the Wyandotte part I'd wonder of.

Yep, like Illia said, Beards and Feathered leggs are both dominant trait and should be present to some degree in this bird if it had a Faverolle parent.
