Here are some photos of her comb. I honestly thought all Americanas had beards and puffy cheeks like the golden chicken in the background of the original picture. 😆 She’s also pretty big compared to the others. I thought they were a more slender chicken. I’ve only had one Americana in the past...
She was supposed to be an Americana but obviously isn’t. She was fully gray as a baby with a little bit of yellow on her chest. She is about 14 weeks old. Is she an Orpington? We called her the magical mystery chicken for a long time. 😆

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 6 little chicks. They are about 13 days old today. I'm kind of mad at myself for not buying around 10...
