What Breed is she?..... any ideas
« on: January 22, 2009, 22:08 »
Hi me again ! Im on a roll now with this posting malarkie  :D

anyway I am going to try again to see if any body has any ideas on 'Sage's' Identity? is she a breed of chicken or a complete mix up? just interested to see if she will lay and if she does the amount size I might expect!  :D

She is fairly large and broad bigger than my Black rocks and Bluebelle she is creamy white with beige bits and most of her chest is beige she has thick feathers on her feet and legs.

She is around 30 weeks now and hardly has any wattle or comb  :?:  :shock:

Lovely chicken but I am really interested to know what she may be! the place she came from did not have a clue - not good hey .... but she was brought for me by my hubby who just brought 'a chicken'







Thank you  :D  Trina x

She's gorgeous whatever she is! I'd also say must be some either cochin or brahma in there. With the feathery legs and the lack of comb and wattles I'd guess brahma. :D

I would deffo say she's got brahma in her.....I had a pure breed "lemon pile" brahma cockerel that had similar colouring to her, maybe not quite as orangey but not a million miles off!

Thanks for the answers! It makes sense that she maybe part Bramah as the garden centre/pet centre she  came from had the most huge Bramah Cockrel !!  :shock:  :shock:

I thought they said they brought the hatching eggs in ....... but they had hens and cockrels mixed together and this chap was one of them! so maybe he is 'Sages' daddy LOL  :D  :shock:

Hope she doesnt get too big! I just read on some of the articles they can take upto 2 years to mature! I havent got to wait that long for her first egg have I? ....................

Funny when I looked back now as when I enquired (after she was brought for me) what she was to the place the chap said he didnt really have a clue as the eggs got mixed up ...........but he had an ideah she may be a 'bantam'  OH REALLY LOL  :roll:
