    Mystery rescued chickens

    I rescued these ladies (and a third that I will post later) from a shelter last night. I could only snap a couple pics before leaving for work this morning, but I'm dying to know what kind they are. Sorry the pic is no good- I'll get better ones tonight. These ladies are almost identical except...
