What kind of hen is this?

[Kessel23]

Oh yeah, Cream legbars are also sold by McMurray, I forgot about that blue egg layer. That bird is a Silver leghorn. Did you order specific breeds of chickens or an assortment pack? Also, there is an option at the end of ordering, there is a box you can fill in that will make it so they can't switch up breeds in your order. If you don't check that box and it is the hatch day and they do not have enough birds of a breed you wanted then they will give you a different breed of equal or greater value. If you do check the box and it is hatch day and they do not have enough of the breed you ordered then they delay the order a week. So one of your breeds may have been switched up. And finally, it could have been your free chick, McMurray includes one free chick with your order and there is a possibility for it to be a EE.
McMurray guarantees a 90% accuracy with sexing, if you ended up with more roosters than 10% when they were supposed to be hens then you can call them and you will be refunded.

We ordered an assortment of pullets. The 16th chick was the free one. It was an Egyptian Faiyumi rooster. They gave us the chick possibilities, but Silver Leghorns and EEs were not a part of it.

What were the chick possibilities?

What were the chick possibilities?

Sicilian Buttercup, Golden Campines, Dominiques, Cochins, Polish, White Face Black Spanish, Wyandottes. There were a couple more, but I can't remember, I mean, it was three years ago. I ended up with a Wyandotte, three Polish, a White face black Spanish, two Cochins, two Dominiques, an Egyptian Faiyumi, a mystery chick that died, and Diana. The one you guys said was a Silver Leghorn may actually be a Silver Phoenix. I researched and saw that somebody with the same assortment as me got those.

I do believe the hen in question is more than likely an Easter Egger. Very pretty girl.

Also, your other little lady is a Silver Leghorn. Phoenix sport slate legs.

Wow! I always thought that they were the same breed. Three years I've been thinking that! I guess I should have looked into it sooner.

It's totally understandable, as the two breeds are similar in size, build, ect.. Only difference is the leg color.

Yeah, and their earlobes and behaviors are different. My Pheonix is very smart, crafty, and stubborn, but she likes people. My Silver Leghorn is nice, but runs away if you get too close.
