Breed & Sex

[Mas155752]

I had another chicken dropped off at the farm. It looks different, so I brought it home to add to the coop. Does anybody know what sex and breed it might be?

Is it a bantam sized bird? I'm no expert but i would guess an OEGB hen

 

[HappyClucker7]

Yes, I agree. It looks like an Old English Game bantam hen.

She's pretty big. Ill get a picture of her next my other birds, to give an idea of size.

She could also just be an old english game hen.

Here is a picture of her around other chickens to show size.

I would definitely consider quarantining her before you put her with your other chickens. You dont know if she has any illness or parasites.

She was out on the farm for about 2 weeks before I introduced her to the flock. Should I do anything more?

I believe its recommended to quarantine for a minimum of 1 month.

Ok. I think I'll take her back to the farm for a few more weeks.

Thanks
