Hello fellow mainer! Do you have a better pictures of like a side view? Some hens do crow an make Funny noises. The owners Id say gave up / don't care.

Just got these Pics Tools shed is her temporary coop naughty girl decided she likes the higher shelf I had blocked off and not the one I fixed for her. I am hoping once we get a coop and another Hen she will be more comfortable. How are these pics? (This may have double posted sorry of it does)

Anyone know her breed? I just thought standard laying hen or brown hen but I don't know the specific name if any.

Hi
When my chicken was young she made rooster noises and we were starting to wonder if she was a rooster however now she is three an does not make those noises I think that hens just do make slightly odd noises sometimes .

Awesome feathered family member story

I'm glad she now has a new loving home
I love 'accidental chicken acquisition' stories like, 'oh, I guess I have a new pet' when a chicken shows up in your yard

It sorts looks like a Rhode island red but I could be wrong. If your close Im in Poland and want a friend for her I have a super sweet 10 month old leghorn that needs to be with only hens in the spring.

Really! That would be awesome! We only planned to get another hen or two no rooster but we can't until we get/build a coop in spring so that would be perfect. Birds are flock animals so we want her to have a friend or two. We live in Pittston. My dad works in Freeport. I'm sure we could get to Poland.
I thought she was a R.I.R. but she also looks a little like a couple other breeds so I am not sure. My cousin had a leghorn rooster years ago that would come over and meet my mom at her car when she came home from work.

Yeah she looks like a Rhode island red. Atleast she looks like mine. Does she let you pick her up? If so you should do a look over if you haven't already. She clearly got frostbite mine did as well. Leave it alone. But look under the feathers separate and see if she has anything that looks unusual not just feathers coming out of the skin and look at get feet. The bottoms to see if she has anything that looks like a syst. This website is awesome an lots of helpful people. I just got my chickens in August so Im still learning about them as well. But she will defenitly need a friend. I travel to lewiston auburn daily so meeting up wouldn't be a problem. I have get posted on craigslist so if I still have her when you build a coop you can have her. She's currently in my basement in a box coop because she was my roosters favorite and she lost all her back feathers. A that would be a perfect situation for her in a small flock with no roosters

She looks like a red sex link to me, which is a hybrid breed of a Rhode Island Red and Delaware hen. They’re good egg layers, but can be a bit dominant with other breeds. Here’s a pic of mine.
