White Hen.

[elfkin2001]

Her comb is flat. Almost like she doesn't have one, it's just and extension of her eyes. An like I said normally she's ENTIRELY white, comb, eyes, everything.

Im going with SCgamecock on this.. She may even be a gamefowl. Many Cuban Gamefowl bloodlines come rose comb,. and HUDREDS of gamefowl Strains come peacomb, i have a American gamefowl hen that i have running around the yard.. only different is she has a straight comb

PS. Forgive the muddy pen. was raining that day. and i hadn't moved the pen in awhile.. i had her penned because i had planned to give her to a friend since i dont raise chicks out of her, she just runs around on the yard laying eggs like the rest of the gamefowl just noticed pictures small... links here - http://usera.imagecave.com/Dwarslayer/hen.jpg

If she came from a "chicken grab bag", then you can definitely count out American Gamefowl and China Game, you won't get these from a hatchery. She does look pea combed and has a distinctly longer tail, though it seems to be above horizontal. I'd say you got a blue cubalaya as several of the bigger hatcheries that supply feed stores, tractor supplies, etc. do offer these. "But she is white?", you might ask, well, the blue gene in fowl will give you every color from black to white, to everything in between. Not gonna take this thread over discussing the genetics behind it, but I would guess a cubalaya hen. Would you elaborate as to where they came from, if a farm store we could rule out a cross...

I would say it's a leghorn still Just the rose comb gene popped in.

I got her from Cackle. We got the "Barnyard" special I believe. She's the only one of her kind, everything else I got a pair or more of. We thought she was a white rock at first but then the other Rocks started growing and she just stayed the same. We looked at their site and really haven't seen anything that we agree on for breed.

Even their leghorns look quite a bit larger than she is.

She's a great little bird. I'd love to cross her with a Silkie... I think it would be a neat combo. I just wanted to know a little more about her before I started breeding my hens.

Excuse me it was the "Hatchery Surprise" that we got her from.

she`s a white yokohama, she looks just like the white hens on Cackle Hatcheries site.
I had said originally she was a china game because I didn`t realize she was from a hatchery, oops lol
