Well we are now at 9-16 weeks with most of our flock.

We have everything from a Swedish Flower Hen, E.E's, LavOrp, JG, etc...
Our two Roo's are a Brahma and Ayam Cemani.
I'm including pics because I still can't breed identify Maggie May. Her pic is showing her today in upper left corner and main pic at 9 weeks.
She has clean legs and feet, same coloration of feet and legs as our BuffOrp. She matured quick and has turned a deep almost auburn. She came in a pack of rare breeds from Meyer.

Sorry about the duplicate pics....

Brahma and the Cemani with leakage are cockerels, could you get more pictures of the grey/lavender one in the group pic? : )

Could Maggie May be a production red of sorts?

I'm not sure, but I think Maggie May might be a Buckeye. Also, just thought I'd add this, the Ayam Cemani isn't pure. A pure Ayam Cemani only has black feathers.

Out of what Meyer sells i would say maybe golden buff? One of the 'eggers' is possible too since they include those in the rare breeds.

I wouldn't assume the Ayam Cemani is mixed, just poorly bred because of the leakage. Can you get a comb pic? I'm a bit lost because I'm not seeing any breed from Meyer than has the pink skin... They're uncommon, but she really looks like a Red Orpington. Can you get a full-body shot too?

 

[merceme57]

Thanks for all the replies. I'm not completely sure about the Ayam Cemani not being pure because I have heard from several owners that there are lines of Cemani that do have some white and he came from a reputable hatchery but either way his markings are gorgeous and so far has a wonderful temperment.
It rained here all day but I will try to get a better full body shot of Maggie May tomorrow. I too am leaning towards a Red Orpington just because of her very pink skin, legs and feet.
The pics here are of the Lavender Orpington Charlene, Hawkeye the Brahma Roo, Reba an EE and Nellie Brahma hen.

How old is your Lavender Orpington? It looks like a cockerel.... Also, could you send the hatchery an email and ask on the red one? I'm very curious, just because they don't carry them! It just looks so similar down to the soft feathering!

I definitely will email the hatchery and find out. She is a beauty, for sure. The Lavender Orpington is 12 weeks old. I'm a newbie so I'm more book learned than hands on so any advice or observations are so welcome. Thank you

Sorry, but the Lavender is also a cockerel :/
