you know... I think you could be right!
I just did a google search and found this.... http://chickenpic.blogspot.com/2008/04/ancona-chickens.html
the 'chick' on the page looks just like Henrietta did when we got her... and the adult looks about right, too!
Fab.... we might finally know what...
HI all... it's been a while!
Just thought I'd post an update
We still have the 'chick' I posted about... but she's a lot bigger now and a lot more speckledy!! She also has a couple of new room-mates One is a Warren, the other is a Heinz variety
No plans for any more chickens, lol... 3...
thanks everyone.... managed to get some chick crumb for her today.... and she's moved house from a small cat carrier to a big one
she's a noisy little thing.... doesn't stop chirping! doesn't seem at all phased by my cats, either... but then, I guess she's safe in her box
thanks for that.... I've never had a chicken before, lol....
any idea what breed it might be?? I'm guessing from the size it's probably about 6 weeks old?
Been to our local motor club meeting tonight and one of the guys there had a chicken he was looking to home! He found it in an abandoned caravan, on its own... it's only young, as you can see from the pics....
I'm planning to take it to the local chicken farmand see if they'll take it on...
