Hi, my name is Shely and I'm looking forward to some new great info on chickens. I just rescued a girl/ boy from a neighbor that lost her entire flock except one to a raccoon. Can anyone identify what breed this is and if it's a boy or girl?
Aww....how nice of you to take this bird! Looks like maybe a Sussex, do you know the approximate age? Looks like possibly a pullet (female) I don't see any hackle or saddle feathers yet.
Hello and Welcome to BYC. So Glad that you have joined this community of poultry lovers.
That be a Delaware pullet. I have one flock of those for layers. Light Sussex also look like that but are fairly rare unless kept by a fancier for show from what I have found out. She would be happier with a companion pullet of about the same age.
Welcome. It is very nice of you to take her. She looks like a Delaware to me, but could also be a White Sussex. I am going to go with the White Sussex.
