TheCoop Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 ...is a standard, ex-batt hen?? As I said in another thread, I've discovered that Dolly is a Buff Cochin, Diana is a Black Plymouth Rock, but Barbara is an ex-batt that just looks like 'a chicken' if you know what I mean! What breed are most ex-bats?? Barbara is mainly brown with white feathers on the tip of her tail and a few speckly white feathers on the back of her neck (cape).

Snowy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 They are usually a hybrid of rhode island red males and light sussex hens. Called a range of names depending on the breeder: ISA brown, warren, gingernut ranger, bovans goldline etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
