    Any ideas on the breed of this hen?

    I picked her up 2 days ago and she's around 5 months old at the moment. She is primarily white, with a few large-ish black markings on her back. Her comb is very small and pale and she has blue earlobes! No feathers at all on her legs, which are grey coloured. Thank you! :cd

It's about half way up the leg so it doesn't touch the ground, she has four toes on each foot... so it's not a toe, I'm really worried, it looks horrible! I have never noticed it...

    White Leghorn hen or Black Rock hen?

    So at the moment I have: A Light Sussex, a Bluebell & three ex-battery hens. :) I'd love to extend the coop and add some more hens to my little gang! So far I think I'm going to get an Amber Link, a Magpie and adopt two more battery hens, but for the fifth hen I can't decide between a White...
