[GeeVee]

Hi all-
i have a hen who i bought at a hatchery as an "ameraucana" but i dont believe it. she looks kinda like a welsummer but her comb is gigantic!
what breed or mix of breeds do you think she might be?

Light brown leghorn

Does she have white ears?

I agree, SC lt. brown leghorn. if I'm not mistaken, I think you can see her white earlobes, little blurred though. She seems real active and healthy and in production (or about to be) with that lopped comb.

thank you. haha yeah that comb was blowing in the wind as she tried to outrun my scary camera

i believe her lobes are white, although i should double check

Hey!! I bought an "Ameraucana" from a pet store that turned into a white Leghorn, too!! We should start a movement and protest!!

I've grown to love our nutty leghorn, though, and so far even her pullet eggs are bigger that the Barred Rock and Production Red's pullet eggs, and she's the only one that hasn't missed a day since they started laying. And she's a riot to watch. Reminds me of the Roadrunner cartoon when she runs across the yard at top speed - for no apparent reason. Also the only one to still fly over the fence even with clipped wings! I think when she realized nobody else could come with her on the adventure, she decided not to do it again.

Most defenitely a Brown Leghorn.
