I need a chicken id.

Thanks! Birding is the best hobby out there! How much of a birder were you?

For me I honestly mostly based out of my house/woods so I definitely wasn't up to par with some of the experts who travel to migration hotspots and such. I did buy up every field guide/book I could find so was decent at identification, but I never really developed an extensive list of birds I've seen! The most interesting one I've spotted is probably the O'ahu 'elepaio which was exciting as it was more of a vacation nature tour and I just happened to see it following us. It was the first juvenile they'd seen in the area and the spotting was relayed onto conservationists I believe! Other than that most I saw weren't very notable! I love your pictures, the Bullock's Oriole and Black-Chinned Hummingbird (I believe?) are stunning!

No I am not, I am a birder with a camera.

Wow! You have lots of varieties of birds! I only see scrub jays, mourning doves, gambel quails, finches (house, purple), bluebirds (similar to the one in your photo), acorn peckers, and some birds of prey.

Those are great quality photos!

Both right, also, if you hover of the photo with you mouse it will show the name.
One of the thing I really like about birding is that you can do it anywhere, and at any level you want.
Oh, if you decide to get back into birding check out: https://forums.whatbird.com/index.php(I hope this does not break any forum rules if so please edit my post.)

Hi, I am new to this forum, and I have a bird that seems to be a domesticated Chicken/Quail of some sort. Or at least I think so, but I will leave the identification up to you experts.
Today, north central Texas, hiding in the shade. Sorry for the less than great pics it was in a bad spot.
Thanks!

It lacks a tail, I say Quail. Not sure if it's Domesticated, or wild, since I don't know a whole lot about quail.

A Coturnix Quail is the Closest I can find to the one pictured.
