[bucky1198]

Can anyone tell me what breed I am? I,m 10 weeks old.

A) a mutt

B) a gamehen

C) a game cross

 

[bucky1198]

came from ideal so hatchery born so most likly a game hen I guess, I didn't see any info on gamehen but I did see info on modern game are they the same?

Could it not be a black austrolorp? (did I spell that right?)

 

[wannalive]

looks just like one of mine.. which i believe to be a BA (just posted a pic trying to confirm lol) does the feathers have a slight blueish green tint or irredesence in the right light(mine does). verry subtle though

 

[Illia]

Okay so I say gamehen cross because of her body type and comb type, but only the OP knows for sure. . . Is that a single comb or pea comb? (sawtooth edge or rows of bumps)


Single comb - Black Australorp.

Pea comb - Game cross. Few hatcheries sell purebred Gamefowl.

yeah the feathers do have a blue blue/green tint to them

 

[Illia]

Blue/green tint actually means nothing except that the bird is solid black. A huge misconception is that only Black Australorps have that tint, but in reality, ALL black breeds do. Australorps are just better known because they're so common.

sawtooth comb thanks for all the help
