Looks like a cross between something and something else…
By golly I think we've got it figured out! It's now officially a:

RedKerMuttleFlapper! New breed, yay!

Oh - and it crowed this morning, lol! So, it's obviously not the source of the tiny little eggs I'm finding in the barn. However, I figured that out too....remember the reject meaties...the ones that look more like a leghorn than a meat bird? Saw one of them there birds on a nest and low and behold a tiny egg came out of it, lol. These are good sized birds (but not meatie sized) more like the size of a big Orpington and laying these tiny gumball sized eggs - they should be ashamed! Whatever they got in the gene deparment - they got screwed, lol. They didn't get meatie genes and they didn't get egg genes. And, their egg is brown...I woulda thunk they'da layed a white egg...don't know why...but that's what I woulda thunk....smh.
