OwenLdn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 A Buff Japanese Black tailed Bantam? Sorry to hijack this thread but I have almost the exact same question!- does anyone know what the hen is just inside the same book next to the title page. I think she is a buff laced something…. I thought Wyandotte but her comb is wrong. Dont have the book on me (im at work) so cant say exactly what page number it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 It sure is! Its a black-tailed buff Japanese bantam hen... Lovely hens. OwenLdn what does it look like? pic? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenLdn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Wow I was right???!! That was a complete guess! Hopefully someone can help me now- this was the hen that I thought "Thats the hen I would like" And then couldnt find out what she was! If you open the book- its the second page- not the hen standing on the flower pot, the page after opposite the title page. She is sitting down with her head turned towards the camera- and on the opposite page there are 2 chicks. Any ideas anyone? A buff laced....????

Cooks Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Tom!!! is she a wyndotte?? she has a funny looking comb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I had a buff columbian wyandotte, who looked just like her. It's definitely not a Japanese though. The colour has been tweaked slightly in that photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Tom!!! is she a wyndotte?? she has a funny looking comb cant find my copy of the book but does she look like this? Can anyone scan a picture in for me? I think I lent my book to my nan as she just got chickens. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Tom, I posted a piccy of the cover above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenLdn Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Tom, Here she is below- yes she almost looks like the photos you added except she has a dark head not a white head. Those you have put up are Wyandottes arent they- is this hen a wyandotte too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think wyndotte myself but I am really still learning and I dont have one to compare.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I thought the one on the book could have been a Nankin bantam. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am really confused now . Which hen are we talking about now? The one on the cover or the one on page two opposite the two little chicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenLdn Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey Mostin, we decided the one on the front cover is a Japanese BlackTail Buff Hen. Im hoping you guys might be able to identify the 2nd hen- the one as you say inside the book opposite the 2 chicks on the title page. The laced hen.

Tweety Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 The second hen may be a Wyandotte, but she is not a blue laced. She looks nothing like my 2 in colour, and her comb is not the same either. She is a beauty though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
