    I'm new both the BYC and raising chickens... I'm a first grade teacher- my team-mates and I hatched chicks at the beginning of May. I'm pretty sure they are American Game hens- Greys? The eggs were given to us by a parent. I've researched and researched to try and find the breed.. I'm attaching...
