StephenW Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi My friend owns this chicken and was told it was an orpington he thinks it may be a wyandotte could anyone hlep? know what it is?? thanks stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well, yellow legs go with the Wyandottes. White orpies have pale pink/flesh coloured legs. It might be a cross though - what does the comb look like? Call for Redwing, Queen of the Dottes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koo2cat Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It must be a very strange breed if it likes to be out in the dark!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Its a white Wyandotte - they are fluffier than the other colours of Wyandotte but that one is extra fluffy round the thighs so possibly a little Orpington in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 See - she knows, you know! I wondered if she might be a bit of a mix. Lovely fluffy bum though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenW Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Thanks I think its a pure wyandotte because its got a coded leg ring from breeder. Thanks Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Quite possibly - some strains of white Wyandottes are very fluffy indeed As an aside though those leg rings can be bought by anyone and put on any bird. I will use last years spare ones to tag all sorts of birds this year - it helps with identification of hatch dates etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenW Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah good idea. Thanks everyone for your help. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
