Help with Rescue Chicken - **GRAPHIC PICTS** Update: PG 3

[Yankee Chicken Ranch]

She is a game hen. I bet she is a green legged Hatch. But hatch has been breed into just about every other game breed. Sweater, Roundhead, Kelso... To be safe I would just say she is a BB red American Game. Ohh and Great Job!!!!

Awesome Job!!!

She looks a lot like my Easter eggers. If you want I'll get some pictures tomorrow.

That's horrible. I hate things like this where you do everything you can and still it's not enough. Kudos for giving them a forever home.

What a horrible thing to go through. ugh!

Thank you! I may have to start a new thread...but what's the difference between a "game hen" and a "regular hen"? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I read that game birds are just those that are wild/not domesticated and often used for fighting? Is that the same thing as a "game hen"? Are they still compatible with regular hens (in the same coop) and they can be used for eggs/meat?

You are a good person to truly take care of that chicken

Here are updated photos of ChaCha. Her wounds are completely healed. Some feathers still need to come in, but she's doing really good and happy in her new home. I really think she's a Sweater Game Hen...but let me know if you think!

I think that she is a BBR cubalaya hen.

eggsrcool - Thank you! She's definitely a lot prettier than when I first saw her!

chickenlover54 - Her color is similar to the last pullet on the page you posted, but all those chicken hold their tails straight/downward. ChaCha holds her tail pointed upwards...like this one:
