Single hen

[Margalot]

I have the book that they sell in the Omlet shop - keeping pet chickens, does anyone know what breed the beautiful hen is on the front cover? I have looked at all the footnotes in the book but canot find out what she is, she is particualrly beautiful!

 

Thanks

She is super, isn't she?

[Margalot]

she has a really pretty face.................just hope somebody knows what she is!!

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.

[tom123]

It sure is! Its a black-tailed buff Japanese bantam hen...

 

 

Lovely hens.

 

OwenLdn what does it look like? pic?

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....????

Tom!!! is she a wyndotte?? she has a funny looking comb

[The Dogmother]

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.

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, I posted a piccy of the cover above

[OwenLdn]

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?

[Cooks]

I think wyndotte myself but I am really still learning and I dont have one to compare..

[craftyhunnypie]

I thought the one on the book could have been a Nankin bantam.

ooh not heard of that one before.

[bronze]

that lacing is gorgeous

[mostin]

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?

[OwenLdn]

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.

[Cooks]

I thought we were talking about the second one

[mostin]

Oh good, thank you , it doesn't take much to confuse me sometimes

[Cooks]

although I might have got myself confused.. it happens.

[tom123]

the secong hen is another wyandotte but blue-laced...

 

 

Lovely hens

 

 

Tom

[Cooks]

woohoo I was right

[Tweety]

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.

[Cooks]

I said wyndotte so I am close enough I still win... where's my prize??

[tom123]

 

 

Look exactly the same to me
