Hey all! I'm brand new to this site, and really new to chickens. Just started our flock in February!! And, unbelievably, since then I have rescued 2 chickens off the side of the highway!!
The most recent full-sized/full grown bird (rescued this past Saturday) is completely white (white skin) with no sign of comb or wattle...red flesh on the face, and no obvious earlobes/tufts. Light grey legs, and the claws are missing on all but the 'thumbs'. Also, he/she has small, stubby spurs (no crowing yet). I will try and post a pic tomorrow...The bird seems very afraid (hisses & pecks at us), but I think let us catch it easily because it was hurt and quite weak. I am presuming this bird is a chicken....although it hasn't made definitive chicken-sounding noises. Again, I will try and post a pic tomorrow, although my camera is about 1 megapixel...hopefully you'll be able to tell what it might be!! Thanks in advance!!
