So, I've got a couple of White Leghorn "mutts" and I'm not sure what all may be in the mix. Any ideas? They both have 4 toes, and are about 6 months old.
Attila the Hen (she's a bit of a bully sometimes): Looks like she may have a bit of Buff Orp in her, and the 3rd girl that came with her is a blue Amaraucana bantam (Peg O' My Heart, named by my 87-year old Grandmother after...well of course, herself!), so perhaps that explains the couple of blue flecks on her side, but what about the floppy rose comb? Are there any particular breeds that are especially prone to the cross-beak, or is it just random?
'Tilla & Peg having a dust bath
Tikka looks like she got some of Peg's blue somewhere down the line, but is there anything else?
Tikka is the one nibbling cat food off of the plate.
