    Nevadans?

    I did some more research since I posted the pic of Daffy, and I believe you all are correct. I think she's a Black Sex-Link or Black Star. From what I've found, there is quite a possible variation of coloring with the black/red. We've had her (and 2 others from the same family - a buff...

    Just adopted 3 hens and don't know what breed this hen is. Help?

    We adopted 3 hens from a local who needed to rehome them. Here is "Daffy", so named because when excited, she makes a duck noise. She is not a duck. She's a hen. But the former owners can't remember what kind of chicken she is. Does anyone have an idea what type of hen Daffy is? Bovans Nera ? Other?

But we pressed on, researched a lot, got connected to others with OCD (obsessive chicken disease) lol - and have a very healthy...
