Hello

I'm new here. I love chickens and I've been increasingly interested in them, their productivity, reproduction and breeds. I'm from Azores, Portugal.

Specifically from here, there's no specific race. I first got chickens a year and a half ago -- 9 hens and 1 rooster --, and I'm trying to identify their breed, but I think they're Golden Sex Links, some of them probably already mixed with other breeds. I have acquired some more in the local market, and I asked for what we call "chickens of the land" ("galinhas da terra"), which means that they're chickens that are more adapted to our region, although they have traits from many breeds, including the Transilvanian Naked Neck, but there's no specific breed that fits them.
There are probably people who sell pure breeds, as I've seen Plymouth Rocks and other breeds around the island.

Thank you to you all.
