quickcluck Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Picked her up yesterday, she's a Bantam and has black legs and 5 toes on each foot! She has a little crest on her hand, a very sleak body and a very pointy tail!!! So far the guesses are.... Silk x leghorn, sultan or aracana..... Any advances??

sootydog111 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 the 5 toes are an important breed characteristic try googling breeds of hens with 5 toes the only one i can think of with 5 toes is the dorking but that dosent look enything like a dorking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sootydog111 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 sort of looks like a silkie aracauna cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 She's gorgeous that's what she is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 She is very dainty. Could she have a bit of White Star somewhere in her lineage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Well here we are a few months on...... any advances on what she may be???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 beautiful is what she is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 A cross of some sort. But there is the 5 toe thing going on and I know there are not many breeds with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Definitely looks like a Silkie cross Whatever she was crossed with has a single comb so not Araucana which would be one of my first guesses possibly Sussex or Leghorn ? Or as she is a cross whoever bred her is probably not too careful about breeding stock separation so possibly one parent is a cross breed or even a hybrid She is lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yup still gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Well it'll be interesting. I think she has white ears, so maybe a white egg! They thought she was a bantam, but i'm not sure about that either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 good point about the white earlobes The fact that the comb is quite small possibly rules out Leghorn I think Egluntyne may be correct with her White Star comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Before I opened the post, the moment I saw the word "Seagull", I thought Light Sussex!! When I saw the first pictures and the head, my gut instinct was that is has cream legbar in there somewhere - although looking at those first pix I was also thinking Araucana. As a cream legbar was developed from an Araucana mix, that isn't really surprising. Looking at the more mature photo's, I'm convinced that you have a part Araucana there (although the comb still makes me think Cream Legbar too). Don't be thrown by the 5 toes; although there are breeds which naturally have 5 toes, it is not unheard of for a bird to grow extra toes (think, Ann Bowlyn ) Be interesting to see what colour eggs you get Whatever her lineage, she is lovely and you should enjoy her to the full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I love her hairdo Good luck identifying her- she looks like a right mixture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
