Nacktschnecken omlet Cube

[quickcluck]

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??

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

[Griffin]

What colour is her skin?

[quickcluck]

Haven't looked! I assumed black the same as her legs

[sootydog111]

sort of looks like a silkie aracauna cross

[quickcluck]

hold on am gonna try an upload a video...

 

 

not sure it'll work...

[Plum]

She's gorgeous that's what she is

[Egluntyne]

She is very dainty. Could she have a bit of White Star somewhere in her lineage?

[quickcluck]

Well here we are a few months on...... any advances on what she may be????

 

 

 

[sandyhas3chucks]

beautiful is what she is

[quickcluck]

A cross of some sort. But there is the 5 toe thing going on and I know there are not many breeds with that!

[Redwing]

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

[Plum]

Yup still gorgeous

[quickcluck]

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!

[Redwing]

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

[Mum]

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

[surfer_chicken]

I love her hairdo

Good luck identifying her- she looks like a right mixture!
