[hensmummy]

Hi there

We just got this a couple of weeks ago and still can't get

ideas of what she may be?
Are you able to help us at all?
Thanks

it looks like an easter egger ...not sure

It may be a clean faced Easter egger, or simply a mixed breed bird. No breed I'm aware of has that coloring and those dark legs.

I was not aware that there was such a thing as a "Clean Faced EE." Interesting.

They're not as common, as the muffs/beard seems to be dominant, but they do crop up occasionally. Myself, I'd feel cheated if I specifically bought an EE and it was clean faced--I love those bearded ladies

x2. Since EE's are simply mix-breeds, the genetics can take some different turns, one of which means no beard or muffs.

Your bird looks like mixed breed to me, with EE... or perhaps not.

She reminds me a bit of a Sicilian Buttercup...how old is she?

However, she looks like she has a single comb (?) And a red earlobe (?)

If she has any kind of cup comb, then she may have some Buttercup in her. SIngle comb, then perhaps some Golden Campine.

But her patterning is not sufficient for a pure breed of either, and the wrong color of earlobe.

A mix of something. Very pretty.

Enjoy her.
