I well all I can say is all these people must’ve seen me coming from 10 miles away. It started about three months ago, and I went to a “chicken swap“. I saw two lavender Orpington’s there and wanted to buy them but I was on my way to work. I had no cash on me, and of course even if I had I couldn’t take them to work with me.
Needless to say I learned my lesson. Or I thought I had learned my lesson. This past week, or now it’s almost 2 weeks, there were two very pretty young birds, and I bought them immediately so I wouldn’t lose out. Big mistake.
I got them home, and realized almost immediately that they could fly. OK not far but they had all the feathers they needed to fly. I was told they were regular chickens… I think that is a lie. I suspect they may be quail. Heaven knows what I’m going to do with them.
Can someone help me decide what I’ve got? Here’s a picture.
