Hmmmm....I think you need to look through the book @BY Bob got you. Stance, body type - just about everything is wrong...including tail feathers that are black. Only the big comb is close.

No worries, RC. I suspect you didn't open that chicken book first......
I would have guessed a White Rhode Island Red...but she has white feet/legs, not yellow.

Then I was thinking White Orpington, but in all the pictures of them I saw, there was NO black in the tail. Ditto on the White Astralorp. I suspect a breed with European/British origins due to the white (not yellow ) skin...but beyond that, I'm stumped due to the black in the tail, but not neck (Columbian coloring)

So, unless she is a mix, I'm as stumped as you!!

Sally
I have finally had a chance to read everyone's lovely thoughts and tributes, which I am thankful for and grateful for everyone's well wishes.

I want to thank everyone for sharing this journey with me, and have a few more photos of the old gal to share. Sally was an awesome little horse, she had the most amazing canter and lovely trot. She might not have been the most beautiful of horses but she sure could move and jumped like a deer!

Again Thanks to all of you

Concrete even easier - you can do like Shad did, sweep then hose them down!

I have paver bricks - a pain to initially put in but easy to keep clean.

Cats have arrived here that way as well. I've said no and still come home to another cat. Enzo was her decision despite me saying no as well.

It had it's highlights. Nino woke me up with kisses and I had coffee and a chat with lety. All was good until I checked my work phone. I also heard from a friend in Germany this evening that I had lost contact with. Pic of my sweet Nino. View attachment 3389566

I bet Nino was eggstatic to have you home!

It is so nice when your chickens choose to visit with you - especially if that visit includes sitting on you! Did you have a nice 'chat'? Or were they looking for treats and/or attention...not conversation?

I love the look you captured on the picture of the lavender colored pullet!
