Thank you for the amazing and interesting responses. It clears up a lot for us. Thanks!

That's what we're trying to find out.

So you believe its the same hen?

Hi everyone, A friend just sent me some pics over whatsapp. She told me her neighbour donates to a charity that saves chickens from the industry and she received these pics of her "adoption chicken". She showed them to my friend and she's having a hard time believing that A. These are all pics...

Did you check her crop? If she can't swallow you might have a problem there.

One of my roosters is getting old and likes to spend his days taking dust baths and sitting on the same old tree branch the whole damn day. One of his ladies, the smallest but feistiest, decided that if he's not going to do the job she will. So she's taking care of things now. Including, well...

Ah thank you! That explains a lot.

Could be Marek. But I think in all honesty that she's dying and it might be time to let her go.

It's a girl. And a very pretty one!

She looks like a she. And obviously a feminist.

So I noticed no one talks about Amrocks on this messageboard. On Dutch websites one can read Amrocks are the sturdier version of the Plymouth Rock which are more of a show bird. Both are American breeds according to the information. So it's surprising me no American here seems to own them...

I have a hen like that. She has 4 chicks right now because I figured she would kill herself sitting on an empty nest forever if I didn't get her eggs. Nothing else worked.

I think he scared her the other day and she needs a little time to regain trust. It will be alright. Don't force things. A chicken doesn't have to be mean to attack in my opinion. Wrong place, wrong time, wrong flip flops.

Cross breed but pretty sure one of the parents is a Lakenvelder. I have rooster that's a cross of a Lakenvelder mom and wyandotte dad and he looks pretty much the same.

I'm afraid you indeed should be worried.EggSighted4Life makes some good points.
