What Breed is this?

[kearstin17]

He/she is 4 weeks old and I thought I new what breed it was but now I am not so sure. I am guessing it is some kind of EE but I am so lost right now. any help would be great.

I don't think it's EE, although I have been wrong once before. It favors a Speckled Sussex except the leg color should be pink.

It looks like a beautiful bird.

This little ones legs are kinda green which is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I was told it was a partridge rock at the store but I am 99% sure it is not.

It looks like an americana or a brama. She also looks like a he.

That would be my luck if she was a he. I bought 8 pullets. (all out of pullet bins) and so far I am pretty sure I have 4 roo's so it wouldn't be a shock LOL

whered u get it?? maybe partridge pendensenca or partridge something..also...it looks like a he

Picked it up at a local store. Only place around here that sales them. Picked up 8 chicks (1 past away last week) and after a 3 weeks started seeing more roo's then I ever dreamed of so went and got 6 more. they are about a week old so I will have to wait and see. hoping for at least 6 pullets (out of 13) in the end but with my luck I don't see that happening lol

Looks like a Partridge Rock to me. Single comb, yellow legs, partridge-like pattern. At this point, it looks like a pullet to me, but it's early.


It is NOT an Easter Egger, not a Brahma (those have pea combs and feathered legs, folks), not an "americana" (spelled Ameraucana, if it's the true breed and not an EE type)

 

[redstarmama]

It looks just like an Ameraucana that I have that is roughly the same age. I think mine is a too or at least I am hoping!

 

[speckledhen]

Where do you see Ameraucana in there? It has a single comb, yellow legs and a partridge color pattern.

Ameraucanas do not come in partridge, have only slate legs and only pea combs. I bred Ameraucanas and that isn't one. What you're seeing is the kinda-sorta color pattern of some hatchery Easter Eggers, I bet.


The post linked to below shows a partridge Rock pullet, same as the one in this thread-go look:
