What breed am I?

[ascott1978]

I was told this hen was a brown leghorn but I have my doubts. I have four others that are very much the typical single comb variety, but this one is different. Could she still be a brown leghorn, but a different variety or some thing else.

 

[NYREDS]

No white ear lobes + no yellow legs = not a Leghorn. Possibly a game hen or a cross of some sort, [type isn't all that "gamey"]

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Not a leghorn for reasons NYREDS already stated. I'm going with the game or game cross assessment as well.

She'll make you a good broody.

She looks like my mix I have, production red with a game roo I have, smaller and same tail..........my hen is a bit heavier than this one though

 

[ascott1978]

No she has only gone broody once. Set on 8 eggs and hatched only one.

Came from a hatchery with the other Brown leghorns, but as you can see she don't fit the bill.

Her legs are a different color than my brown leghorns' legs. They're yellow. And she doesn't look quite right either. No guess on what she is.

Could she be a cross with an EE?

Not sure if I mentioned it, but she lays brown eggs.
