The white chicken is of unknown origin, hatched secretly last September under a sneaky banty hen. For me, everything pointed to her/him being a pullet but recently I’m questioning that. S/he doesn’t resemble any of my other roosters, has lady legs and feet with no spurs, and is the size and shape of most of my hens. However, her behavior has changed dramatically in the last week or so.
The blue hen is one of 2 pullets dumped in my pasture last year. I assumed she was a Maran due to the feathering on her legs but her eyes are black like an Australorp. The last photo is of a chick that hatched with the aforementioned white one under the sneaky banty, and is obviously the offspring of the blue hen. She has similar coloring but amber-colored eyes and no feathering on her legs. No idea who any of the dads are here. Would love your feedback!
