Found her yesterday in town by the mall. Cold and was obviously lost and alone. Breed?

I was thinking Australorp or Cochin. So of course i picked her up and brought her home. She seems to be in good health, may have some slight frostbite on ends of toes or its just that her breed the black shows thru on the feet, which is what i am thinking. She is super sweet and docile. Easily handled so i am sure someone definately is missing her, i have posts up everywhere i can think and am trying to get her home.. i hope someone didnt just abandon her there behind some stores in an alley in a snowdrift. Either way will find her a good new home or try and integrate her with my small dutch bantam flock.

what color is the bottom of her feet? Im guessing black australorp but could be a black jersey giant

Not sure, i will have to check. Which i can do here soon. She is not really big imo. Are jersey giants larger chickens?

Are jersey giants larger chickens?

when bred to the standard of perfection they will be 10+ lbs. but hatchery birds are much smaller than that most of the time

She does look like one. I dont have a way to weigh her where she is right now. The bottom of her feet look to be yellow i think, they are a little dirty but definately light and yellowish colored.

If you have any other birds, keep her far, far away from them.

Then most likely a jersey giant

You are so kind to take her home Poor, poor little thing! Seconding the quarantine recommendation on the off chance she was abandoned due to health concerns. Hopefully she gets a clean bill of health; fingers crossed for you both!
