Hi! I just got 2 "spent" rescue hens

[micstrachan]

Hello and welcome! You will love those Black Australorps! Do they tolerate being handled ok? Mine loves to sit on my lap and likes to push her body against mine tocreceive a hug. (but I raised her from check)
So wonderful of you to adopt them!

Hello and welcome to BYC!
I wish you the best of *cluck in your rescue endeavors!

Edit: sorry for the awful pun but I needed to mix it up

I'm not sure what they are! I attached a pic in another reply. I will check the link you offered, thanks so much!

They're not Black Copper Marans; that much I'm sure of. I own 2 of them.

Of the two, Peaches is quite bold and will jump right onto my lap to be petted -- especially if I am eating something! (She particularly seems attracted to muffins.) Mildred is more reserved and hangs back, but still lets me pet her. They are so sweet.
