Chicken in featured thread?

[NHMountainMan]

In the featured thread "dealing with rats" there is a pic used with a chicken holding a mouse in its break.

Does anyone know what breed of chicken is in the picture? Very cool looking

I asked within that thread but there are so many posts that my question disappeared -

Thanks

I liked that picture. My birds just look at them, but I haven't seen any in quite awhile and the baits in the bait stations haven't been touched lately either.

I would like to know as well, I will wait for someone else to answer this one

The color is Wheaten, whatever she is. She looks hard feathered, my thought is she is likely an oriental gamefowl breed (or mix maybe). It's kind of difficult to try to distinguish which breed from that pic...

It looks similar to the White Laced Red Cornish that I used to raise. When I had Light Brahmas, they would actively hunt for mice and voles.

The owner made a thread a few days ago about the hens’ breed. I think @Gray Farms said it’s like a saipan jungle fowl?

I was looking up birds and it appears you are correct.

I came across this thread that may be helpful. One thing I noticed it has no wattles.

Thank you all. It does appear to be similar to @Gray Farms wheaton saipan jungle fowl... Thanks for the links to the post! That looks like one bada$$ chicken.
