What Was She?

[Budge]

This is Noodle. She passed away on January 25, 2018. She was one of my four hens at the time.
I never learned what kind of chicken she was, but my family always speculated that she was either an EE with weird coloration, an Iowa Blue, or a Silver Phoenix. I only have photos of her as a juvenile, but I’ll do my best to share some of her characteristics.
I don’t know if it was common to her breed, but she was very independent and courageous- bordering on aggressive at times. She had a short comb, either a pea comb or a rose comb. She was hefty- the largest of all my birds, and quite athletic. Her eggs were a pale brownish green and were medium sized.
I hope I offered enough information. I’d love to know what kind of chicken she was! Thanks for any and all help that can be offered.

She was an Easter Egger.
Sorry you lost her

I am so sorry about your sweet hen! She was definitely an EE...which is a mixed breed. Bear hugs!

Thank you both so much! I thought that’s what she could have been, but I just wanted some closure. I hope to find another like her this spring, fingers crossed. It’s still so upsetting to me, but it’s a relief to confirm what she is. Thanks again!

My EEs are the friendliest chicken in my flock. I can understand your fondness for them. Noodle was adorable!

Adorable little EE.

I'm so very sorry for your loss of a beautiful family member. It's obvious she lived a wonderful life.
