it is a pretty bird i have 2 but i think this is a cockerel as it is constantly chasing the hens especially my 10 new ex batts i have rehomed and keeps pinning them down.

The first egg ever from my hybrids was laid on Christmas Day.  What an exciting present!

It's a hen and probably chasing your new batts in a teritory /pecking order dispute.

It looks like  a legbar cross possibly a Welbar which are rare so I'd be surprised if you didn't know.

Where did it come from and howlong have you had it>

Looks like some kind of cross breed, how old is he/she?

Hi,
I don't know the breed, but it looks like a hen, haven't you had any eggs from her?

hi, i have a 4 year old hen with almost identicle colouring  and shape, even holds her wings in same position as yours, called bella. she is an old english game bird cross. her comb is  over an inch and a half tall, and is bright red.  if you didn`t know her you would swear she was a cockerel,  lays regular, but beats the other hens up too! x
someone keeps stealing time when i`m not looking.
