Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[lougarbard]

Hello!

About six weeks ago I bought a trio of Welsummers, they are great, and I am seriously addicted!

I have today aquired a hen (?) off a firend who hatched three chicks from some random eggs she got from someone she knew.

But we have no idea what breed this chick ( 10 weeks old) is?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Also she is thinking it is female, is there an easy way of telling?

I can only get pictures for you, by you clicking on the link.

Thanks for any help.

Louise.

Welcome to the forum .

 

I think Chooklady is probably right, but I immediately thought Pied Suffolk. Maybe not enough white round the neck for that though .

I might be wrong ANH but I think a pied suffolk and a daiseybelle are the same breed, just different producers names . Mine are apparently daiseybelles but look like the pied suffolk picture and Tuesday has absolutely minimal white on her.

[Egluntyne]

She looks like my Pied Suffolk.

 

Breeders give all sorts of fancy "brand" names to what is essentially the same breed.

I'd say a pied suffolk as well.

Or possibly a pure bred silver sussex!

I would plump for pied suffolk too, but what do I know?

 

She's lovely looking anyway.

 

Edited for stupid typo

[Scramble]

Don't know

but I just wanted to say that is one lovely chicken!

[WitchHazel]

I would guess that she is a pure breed Silver Sussex.

 

The reason I say that is that the Pied Suffolk is a hybrid, which means they don't come true to breed - i.e. if you mate a male Pied Suffolk and a female Pied Suffolk, you won't get a Pied Suffolk chick. To get Pied Suffolks you have to breed from whatever the crossing breeds are (Rhode Island and something else I expect, sorry I don't know). It seems unlikely (although not impossible) that you would have a pied suffolk egg unless it had come from one of the places that breed them commercially.

 

Whichever she is, she looks absolutely gorgeous!

yeh its probably along the line of a reverse sussex, pied suffork or silver sussex but the question is whitch one?

 

lovely girl though!

[Karen Pimlott]

looks like a hybrid... we call them magpies but i think a suffolk & all the other names are one & the same.

 

Its not a pure bred sussex, wrong leg colour for a start.

 

Looks as though it will make you a nice bird though
