What breed is Birdie

[Bfancey]

She is supposed to be either a Maran or Barnevelder. However that muff has egger written all over it. Has anyone ever had a maran with a beard?

No Marans would have a beard and you're correct it's not a Marans or Barnevelder.
Some sort of mixed breed that had an EE somewhere along the way.

Interesting! The muffs of an Ameraucana mix but with a crest, too. And then throw in a straight comb... I have no clue what her mix is but I do like the look. Interesting to see what color eggs she lays.

That’s what I thought. Either way she’s adorable with that mow hawk!!

I can’t wait for her eggs. Hopefully in June.

I know you guys have been waiting on pins and needles for birdie to lay her first egg. Well today was finally the day she took her sweet time, she is 28 weeks old. It’s a beautiful green!

Beautiful!! I guess you'd call her an Olive Egger, then!
