    What breed is this?

    I was told these were wynadotte but they don't look like any pictures of wynadotte chicks I can find. Anyone know what kind these are? They are definitely less cuddly than our Rhode island reds and cinnamon queens but are also more curious and cooperative lol.

    New Castle or stressed broody hen??

    We have a hen that we thought was broody for the last week or so. Staying in the coop most of the day, not eating as much and so on. Today she layed a rubber egg and threw up.
