What Breed is Gertrude?

We got Gertie as a pullet in the summer of '07 from a neighbor, and we've always wondered about her breed. Thanks.

She looks like a New Hampshire hen. I have two of them. Pretty girl! Check her legs-seems like she may have scaly leg mites, but the picture could be deceptive.

Looks like a hatchery New Hampshire w/scaley leg mites.

I agree w/ this comment. Looks like ya better start putting Vaseline on her legs for a wk or so--just a suggestion.

Thanks for your replies. I recently noticed her 'scaly' legs, and was about to post about it when speckledhen mentioned it here. I am researching scaly leg mites and will treat all 10 girls and their coop. Thanks again!

Pretty New Hampshire.
