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

She is a game hen, and she will not be any different from your "regular" hens with some exceptions: she may decided to brood eggs and be very protective with any chicks she hatches, and she won't lay as much.

Hatch fowl tend to have green legs, so that could be where the green legs come from.

You've done an awesome job bringing her back from those wounds. I'm amazed!

chickenlover54 - I honestly do not understand where you came to the assumption that she looks like a cubalaya aside from her coloring (which is really too light to begin with, wheaten cubalaya hens are cinnamon colored not straw). I raise cubalaya; she looks nothing like them and has every thing going for her to be an American game hen.
 
Thank you for confirming, Cuban Longtails!

I'm happy that she has integrated in with the rest of my little flock without problems. The first few hours were horrible though. She hunted down my bantam blue orpington, grabbed her back, lept up and punched her with both feet. I was horrified by this crazy ninja chicken move! I was torn between letting them settle her pecking order and wanting to protect my lil orp...but luckily that only lasted a couple hours and then it settled down real quick. Now they all lay near each other in the day. ChaCha has claimed the entire coop as her own chick castle and won't let the others in at night though.

But it's still warm out and the others like their little hiding place under the coop so it's ok for now, I'm hoping ChaCha will relax even more and let them in eventually. I think it's like an abused dog that first gets a new home - they are so amazed at a good life and get super protective/territorial/aggressive, until they realize that there is plenty for everyone and life is really good now...then they relax and learn to be social and just enjoy life. ChaCha has already relaxed so much and is getting along with everyone else so at this rate, everything is working out just fine.

Acidentally found this thread on google. Quite old but yeah I think it's Cubalayan. It resembles the same as the Philipine native chicken.
