Who is the momma?

[flora]

I bought this pullet as a hatchling along with some others. Their daddy is a Black Australorp, by the feathered feet on three of them I knew their mom was the Brahma hen. There were also Barred Rock, Americauna, Buff Orpington, Gold and Silver Wyandottes, and a Black Australorp hen in the flock. This pullet does not have a muff, but her legs are kind of greenish. I always thought her mom was the Americauna, but I'ld like a second opinion.

You're right- she sure looks like an EE. I love their colors!

I think it was probably a BO. Her legs look more slate then green. Her legs, to me, look like what you would get when crossing a white shank (BO) to a dark/black shank (BA)

My first thought was EE.

She is only 3 months old now, so I guess we will be able to tell more in a few months when she starts to lay - green/blue egg, Americauna, nice brown egg, BO.
All of the chicks turned out very pretty, I'm glad I bought them.

I would say BO. With that body type, and the color looks like Buff with leakage.
