What breed is this young hen?

[alabamalilac]

Looks like a Chantecler but a Chantecler has yellow legs.

Yes, she does have yellow legs....I've never heard of that breed before. Will have to do some research. Thank you!

Sorry, I meant the young hen looks similar to a chantecler not the chick.

Another picture of this little sweetie

Either Light Sussex, Delaware, or Columbian Rock. You'll have to wait till she's about 6 to 8 weeks old to know which breed for sure.

Yes, the white young hen has slate color legs. She lays cream color eggs. Still not sure what she is.

Thank you! I can't wait to see. If that's the case I'll have a new breed introduced to my flick!;-D

She can still be an EE and lay brown eggs, as the EE is a cross breed and not all that are bred will lay the green or blue eggs. Some may lay a tinted pink, or light brown, brown, dark brown, dark green like olive egger! So the pea comb and dark legs could still be indicators of EE and just not the Shell Gene for the green or blue eggs like how it doesn't have the Muffs and Beard either, but still be an EE. There are EE that do not have the muffs or beard, yellow legs and lay the green or blue eggs, and all sorts of variations. That is how you know it just came from poor breeding, and that perhaps a first generation project of some sort perhaps!

Yes...now I'm thinking she just might be a non beardless, non muff, EE and laying light tan eggs. I was told she was picked from a bin of EE's...so that's most likely what the white hen is. :-D

Now I'm looking for Lavender Orpington and Splash, Blue and Cuckoo Marans chicks. I live in the Tampa Bay. Would appreciate it if anyone knows of any.
