Hello, I got my chicken about 5 weeks ago. The lady said they were about 4 months then, so that makes them 5 months now... I find this hard to believe. All 4 are NOT laying and the black one she said was a wyandotte, but I didn't think it was but they needed a home so I didn't care. I am totally stumped on the age and breed of this black/grey girl. Her head and neck are darker than the rest of her body. She doesn't have feathers on her feet, and is SLOWLY developing a single comb. any ideas...?IMG_8043.PNGIMG_8041.PNGIMG_8042.jpg

I am going to guess their ages at somewhere around 3-4 months??? They look to be at least a month away from point of lay IMO.

 

I don't want to guess the breed. If I had to guess I'd say maybe blue Jersey Giant????
