Chunky_Monkey Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi everyone, We recently got our 3 hens from a local breeder. We know that Nellie is a Black Rock and Lucy is a lavender Araucana, but we don't know which breed Bella is. We saw her mother and she lays white eggs, so I'm presuming Bella will do too, but that is about the most we know about her. Her mother is also quite a small hen. Does anyone know which breed Bella is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 White eggs would indicate a White Star however if they were more cream than bright white then a Coral! (I have a Coral) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Looks like red ear lobes there, so no white eggs, and more likely to be a coral nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 She looks like my Coral who lays large pinkie/beige eggs. Coral's are a leghorn hybrid similar to White Stars and have the very upright tail, although Coral's tails are smaller, I think. Here is a picture of my girl http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=485093&l=ffcf7016c9&id=663092293 I think they are bigger than White Stars and less flighty.

half dozen Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have an Amber link who looks like your girl, but she is much daintier than your girl. Ours is the most friendly, cheeky chicken you can ever meet!!! Beautiful girl you got! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunky_Monkey Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for all of your replies. She is a lovely looking hen. Looks like she is a Coral then, I've seen lots of pictures of them and they look a lot like her. And the fact that she just flew of 7ft over our back fence and into the neighbour's garden! She's back safely now though. We were not expecting it. Will be clipping her wings as soon as I manage to catch her again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have a Coral Nick (Flossie) and she looks just like that and lays large, near-white eggs. Her earlobes have gone white as she has got older and she is also less tame and more flighty than my other girlies. If I don't keep her wing clipped she is always the first to escape!
