The Dogmother Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 What amazing hens! The colouring suggests that they have a lot of RIR in them, but those legs are pure game bird, and a big one at that! They should be good layers with some RIR blood.

mrs chook Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Look like some RIR I would say, they're gonna be HUGE when fully grown could do with some of those to keep the dog and kids in check-they look intriguing, but a bit scary too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 My white sussex/aracuna cross (no where as big as those pictured) is a bit taller than standard chooks due to crazy long (blue!) legs and huge feet - when walking about she looking like some sort of wading bird!

CockADoodleDoo Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 i agree indian game x RIR is my best guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Henthusiac - I have been intending to get to grips with posting pics for a while but have never got round to it - will try to do something about it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayflower Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 They definately look like old English game birds crossed with something else to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HENthusiastic Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Is that a bit of an unusual cross? It certainly looks like it. Why would somebody cross a game bird with something known for being a good egg layer? Will they lay huge eggs? I cant wait for them to grow up.
