She's about the same size as the australorp hens, just more slender. I think she strayed from another house close by but was on her own for a while first. I'll have to see if I can find out where she came from and see if they know I guess.
She looks nothing like the 2 white and 2 black australorp hens that we have though. She is much more slender with a longer neck. We have 12 of her babies here that I'm wondering if they would be good to raise for meat chickens. I think 5 or 6 of the group are roosters that we will have to get...
Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? I know it's a hen. She showed up one day and hasn't left. We had a rooster at first that got to her and she ended up laying 17 eggs! 15 of them hatched but we lost 3 during the night one night. Anyway, just curious what breed she is if anyone can...
Hey everyone, new to the forums and fairly new to raising chickens. I live in western NY and we currently have 21 chickens of different breeds and also 8 muscovy ducks. I'm in the process of building our coop, though it's mostly done. Looking forward learning from everyone!
