I bought her yesterday and I'm just wondering what this pattern is. She is meant to be a pekin of some sort. I couldn't get great picture because she isnt use to be so didn't want to sit still. Is her face meant to so pale?




 
I'm not shre what to do with her now. I was hoping to use her for breeding in the future. Either way she'll make a lovely pet. :)
 
I am guessing it may be a "mottled" crossed with a "silver laced"?

A Pekin aka Cochin? So It should have yellow legs with feathers on them right? Such a pretty bird though! I have a silver laced bantam Cochin, she is our all time favorite chicken for beauty and personality.
 
I think she would make pretty babies too, just need the right male for her. I haven't a clue about breeding though and how patterns and colors get passed on and crossed and stuff. Is there a thread on here explaining it all does anyone know?

She just seems a bit, rough looking at the moment and so do the other two I got with her, a few patches without feathers and just a bit scraggly in general. Maybe its the age?

Thank you for your comments :D
