I will. When I hear from her breeder what he thinks I will let you know. I am just delighted that she is a pullet and I can keep her. She is the only chick I have hatched w/a broody, and since Mom Minnie is not a 'good' bantam Dark brown leghorn, I was given them both!
And the answer is.......................................[drum roll]....................................................MALAY pullet. The breeder has 2 breeding pair & both started laying when I was there in June. Since he shows his fowl [and since the breed aren't great layers] I will probably return her to him. I Googled the breed..........the pix were a match! The breed is both rare and threatened, and is one of the oldest breeds known - 3500 years +or-. Those who guessed Aseel - probably cousins and a toss-up which breed is older!
She may be show quality, but for sure won't win any beauty contests!
