What breed is she??

[Rosie0550]

HELLO! This is Munk- (named because she looked like a chipmunk at 3 days) we were only told “Old English” bantam- which he said is a very general term. We know she is female but can anyone tell me what breed she is? She is 17 weeks & a sweetheart. Last pic is her at 3 weeks ..... She was my ONLY female out of my 1st group of 6 chicks ... we have others now that keep her company (although they are a bit younger) HEY??!! Since she is 6 weeks older when do I uncover the nesting box? Next week for her or wait until the others are closer to egg laying age? I don’t want young’uns playing in boxes but want to have it ready for her too. (If i need to put that in another thread, just let me know) I LOVE YOU ALL & thanks for your patience with me.

I believe she is a Dark Cornish. Is she large fowl or a bantam ?

Maybe a golden laced wyandotte?

Bantam- is there anything I should know about her?

Maybe a golden laced wyandotte?

I think she is a little “thinner “ than general Wyandotte Chickens that I’ve seen, but maybe

She looks a little....thick, for a GLY to me....

Lol... I agree: I said thinner, but I understand what you mean by thick too...

Pretty much typical Cornish conformation.

I have 3 pullets that look very much like yours. The only thing I know for sure is that they are definitely NOT GLWs!
