She's a green legged hatch American Game....standard size.
I have one just like her at home - they are slow to mature and ours just reached her full size this spring at nearly a year old. They are very sweet, but smart as a devil. Ours weighted only about 3 pounds until this spring when she...
We ended up with a game by accident - it turned out to be a wonderful mistake. Our hen is very loving towards us, likes to snuggle. She becomes very jealous if we hold or pet other hens (or our roos) and will attack them. Despite this, she is generally friendly with the others and likes to spend...

Our two guys have been best buds since day one.....usually dust bathing and sleeping together. Two weeks ago there was a major fight, and one of my...
