I have a young hen Miracle approx 2 yrs old she`s a lovely hen but I wanted to know what breed she is. Around the time she hatched we had 2 roosters Rascal a barnevelder and Bandit a Barnevelder or Rhode Island red (Bandit was in charge and its unlikely he would have let rascal fertilise any eggs)
above rascal left bandit right
For the hen breeds we had Dusty a barnevelder and Kitty and Lola Australorps. I really don't think it was the australorps as they are jet black
Dusty
Lola
And seen as I'm on the topic I was wondering if anyone could tell what my pullet omelette is its mostly the same but there was one additional hen breed when she was hatched Floppy, Joy, Faith and Hope my ex-battery hens, she is most likely from one of them honestly
Omelette
Floppy
Please ignore the dirty feet and beaks Omelette and Miracle both tend to "play in the mud" more than any of our other chickens.
