This year we decided to start with a bunch of chicks, since last go around we only bought 4 and 3 out of 4 turned out to be roosters.
So headed down to Wilco and got 11 chickens, hoping most would be hens (as we are after egg layers only for my girls).
I purchased the following:
1 Polish Crested
2 Golden Laced Wyandottes
2 Cuckoo Marans
3 Araucanas (really wanting easter eggers)
2 Barred Rock
1 buff orpington
Now as time went on and these grew bigger, it was harder for me to tell which were which anymore. A few I can obviously, the polish and the buff, but the others started to throw me off.
I made this short story long, sorry, but basically I'd like to know what this cool white one is. Unfortunately, we just lost it today (it managed to flew up out of a 7 foot high run and the dogs got it). I am bummed because this chicken was really cool looking.
Can someone help to tell me what breed it is? We didn't get to find out yet whether it was a rooster or not, but I had my suspicions that it was. But the whole family really liked this bird's looks.
Any help telling me which breed in the list it was (or did something get mixed in the Wilco batch?)
Thanks, here is the only pic I got of it (it's the white one, we think it looked kinda like an eagle)
