FATduck27 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) About 2 years ago I was at Fowl Sale and I spotted a man with a trailer full of chickens, as I was talking to him I saw a chicken feed bag on the back of his van with somting inside it, I said noting and walked off. I went back to where the man was, he was gone but he had left the bag there. I went and took the bag and looked inside, there was this very sick looking cock in the bag. So I put him in my car and brought him home. I put him straight into a small pen to take a look at him. He was in a bad state, his comb was torn and he was missing an eye, he had bumble foot and was covered in mites. It took a long year and a close eye to get him right, but now he's good as new. I never put him back in one of our pens, He just walks around the garden with our older birds and sleeps in a tree next to the house. Anyway, the reason I posted this topic is to see if anybody can help me identify his breed, obviously he's no pure breed, but I would appreciate any suggestions to what he is a mix of.

tom123 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Probably a Sablepoot crossed with a araucana or another gamey breed like this. Maybe even and Old English Game. Defiantly not a pure Sablepoot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATduck27 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 He look s like a Lemon Millefleur Sablepoot. **Click** Very similar colours, perhaps that's part of his mix, but I should of mentioned that he's not of bantam size. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATduck27 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Looking back at the pictures he defiantly has a crested breed in him e.g. Araucana or poland. Yeah, he has a short spikey crest that he can raises up or lower down at will. http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx301/FATduck27/DSC01347.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FATduck27 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 OK, maybe some Appenzeller Spitzhauben in there as well then Yeah, he has very similar chest markings to an Appenzeller Spitzhauben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 In the very first pic apart from the head he looks very much like a Dutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 True, but due to his size I can't see him being crossed with anything that small, maybe though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 True, but due to his size I can't see him being crossed with anything that small, maybe though Quite right sorry - didnt check the scale, thought he was smaller I know that comb from somewhere but can't think where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
