I just noticed this yesterday on my hen... comb, wattle and right eye...any clue what it could be? I have 8 hens, this is the only one that looks like this.
I would like to know breed, but that's really not a huge deal in my book, but I am really hoping I have all hens (that was what I asked for... and really want) First chicken, feet are fully feathered.... super fluffy
The other one - In the sun, the feathers have a blue iridescence...
This was in theory a Buff Orpington hen. I know it's a Polish, and I am hoping for a hen. I got 8 chicks in March, and none are what they seemed. No biggie, as I really didn't care too much on breed, just wanted hens. The feathers are all blonde... she got muddy when I was refilling water tank...
In theory that's what I have - but asked for 2 and one of them is a Polish, so all bets are off in the confidence department. LOL
Got 8 "hens" of different breeds... and I am thinking they're a mixed up mess. They were chicks in mid-March... and is that crazy underbite normal? She has no issues...
I have 8 chickens that were bought as chicks mid-March. These 2 were SUPPOSED to be Barnevelder hens... the 3rd one I will post I believe IS a Barnevelder hen, which was in the "mixed chicks bin". I am HOPING I got all hens, I am really somewhat ambivalent about breeds, but really wanted all...
I got 8 chicks back in March, I am beginning to get eggs.... SO EXCITING.
Although... I am not one who knows a ton about chickens, I do know I did not get the breeds I was supposed to get - in THEORY I have 2 Buff Orpington Hens, 2 Barnvelder Hens, a blue cochin, and 3 that my daughter picked...
