Wyandotte or Barnevelder?

[Jodizon]

WAs sold to me as an olive egger day old chick by my local feed store but clearly it is not. Lays a “normal“ color light brown egg
Wynadotte with a single comb? Or Barnevrlder? And what color?

What a beautiful hen! Her body coloring and shape definitely looks like a blue laced red wyandotte. They very rarely have single combs, are suppose to have rose combs. Head and neck coloring don't fit though. She is likely a mix breed.

That's a really pretty hen, regardless of breed.

The only thing I can think of is they crossed wyandotte or barnevelder and a blue egg layer hoping for green eggs. Sometimes you end up with some brown layers depending on the breeding program and genetics. Kind of a shame but she sure still is beautiful.

Thanks everyone. She is beautiful . My prettiest chicken and I’m keeping her for sure. It’s more of a curiosity - Id like to know what to call her

She’s in a coop with 5 other chickens and she is the most nervous around people. Others eat out of our hands and she hangs back.

It may sound crazy, but ask her All my pets and horses I’ve half-seriously done that. If I don’t actually hear what they say, a fitting name comes to me pretty quickly!

I agree, she's a mix. She is absolutely gorgeous though! Her feathers remind me of when ice forms around orange fall leaves.
