what type of chicken is this

[rodriguezpoultry]

He almost looks like a black Minorca with Birchen leakage.

He's got the same coloring as my dark Brahma roo. I'm guessing he's a bantam breed, possible a mixed breed.

 

[incubatingisfun]

yeah he does

 

[incubatingisfun]

yeah and put him with a cochin partridge bantam and hatched the egg the chick looks cool if you want some pictures of it just ask on your next posts

 

[DTchickens]

He's a mutt. Not sure of what, but definitely a cross.

EXACTLY what I thought! he has the carriage of a Minorca, but the coloring most resembles birchen. Cool mix, but not a purebred.

Not sure what he is (most likely a mix, I'd guess), but he's very pretty!

Nope, they're not recognized by the APA but he's at leas got the carriage, earlobes...doesn't look like he has any yellow skin. Interesting...
