What kind of chicken is this one? Edited 062909 -- PIC HEAVY!! --

I think GLW. She looks just like mine but mine has a straight comb but somebody told me they were suppose to have the kind that your chick has.

I have seriously got to get the color adjusted on my monitor! LOL Im a bad enough guesser without my color messed up cause I sure didnt' see green legs on this girl!

The don't look green to me, either, and her comb looks rose.

Her legs are green, pretty green actually, and she has smallish cheek tufts. I'm voting EE.

OK now, y'all got me confused now. What is the difference in a peacomb and a rosecomb? I now a single comb.

And by the way, she is beautiful I think, what ever she is. If she is an EE she will lay colored eggs. I have one and she has feathers sticking out the side of her head whre her ears are and she still dn't have a comb and she is 4 months old. There are just a few bumps there. Is that a peacomb?

I need an education on combs.

I got a hen with what looks like greay hairs growing on her earlobes. Does that mean she's an old hen? Maybe I should get the ear hair trimmers after her.

Thanks for the posts everyone.

I'm leaning towards her being an EE.

After work tomorrow (Monday), I'll try to take a few really close ups of her legs, face and neck.

I just spent several hours working in the garden.... and I'm too 'pooped' to try to corner/grab her.

Thanks again....

Alrighty, The hen has a pea comb i "believe". She does not have the cornish look and she is too bright to be a dark cornish, and cornish do have yellow legs.

She isn't fluffy/bulky enough looking to be a wyandotte to me, wyandottes have rose/singlecombs and they also, have yellow legs.

This hen has- Green legs, peacomb, small tufts (Or is it a beard/muff? you can see the black feathers wrapping around the bottom of her face), she does not have lacing (except in her breast), she is too bright to be either a dark cornish or golden laced wyandotte. Wyandottes do not have much of a tail from the ones i've seen, her tail is about medium length.

I say she is a hatchery ameracauna, AKA "EE" (Mutts).. and due to the lacing i would think she probably has wyandotte in her, so i guess you can say she is a Ameracauna Wyandotte cross.

Do most agree then that its an EE?
