What is she?

I think she's a heinz 57, but I'm open to ideas

OMG....that bird is gorgeous!!!!

Looks like she's got some Australorp in her...maybe Blue Australorp in her somewhere's???

I agree, what she is is gorgeous! She looks like a cross, but one worth trying to copy.

Thank you! Her name is Jessica, but we call her the glamor queen! I just love her.

I went to pick up 2 Buff Orpintons from a CL ad, and I saw her running around in the sale pen...I had to have her!

The seller had a clutch of her babies, but they looked nothing at all like her, they looked like she had got some one on one time with a Polish roo

Any ideas what I could look for in a roo to try to reproduce that look? I'd LOVE that

i'd take a blue rooster.. (maybe something that has that look.. perhaps a Black Australorp. or blue one... or some other kind of breed that looks like that). Then you take the babies... and breed back to her.. will be 3/4th her.. and should be her color.. if not do it again..

This is a job for tadkerson! oh, Tim, where are you??? I'm not the one to ask. I plead ignorance.

Hmm maybe a buff orph X blue orph rooster over her it might be that that was her original cross.

Is it my imagination--or wishful thinking--but does her comb appear to be cup-shaped?

She is beautiful! No help on the breed though.
