Hello to all;
I am totally new to chicken "farming", although I have family who have chickens, and grew up around a lot f people who have chickens. We only have one, young chicken at this time. We do plan to get 2 more. It is an interesting story how our first chicken came to us. She was too big for a red shouldered hawk to carry, and too big to squeeze through our chain-link fence to get out of the yard. I was going to give her to a bird sanctuary, but after a friend with 2 back-yard chickens told us how easy and rewarding it is to have a couple chickens in the back yard, and directing us to take a look in on "backyardchickens.com", we decided to keep her. She was kind-of winning our hearts by the minute anyway so the longer we kept her, the more likely it was that we would not give her away. She is a real sweetie-pie. Anyway; I have looked at picture after picture of different chicken breeds, and I can not decide what kind she is. Does anyone know what breed she might be by looking at this picture? Thanks much.
