Hi,
Long story short, I rescued Ma hen and her 14 chicks(!) (someone complained about Pa and Animal Control picked him up - they'd been dumped in the neighbourhood), I'm keeping Ma and 2 (the others were re-homed). She had 3 definite roosters, all white-ish with black flecks. All the others were orange/brown-ish. I have my suspicions one of these may be a rooster, but hoping not as can't keep them in town.
Pics of Ma and Pa, and the 2 who will be 5 months old next week.
Thanks!

Ma (and Pa) used to wander around 3 properties and I'd put out food when I saw them. She disappeared and only came around about once a week so we thought she must've been sitting on fertile eggs. Then one day she appeared with 14 chicks in tow, so it was a bit of a mission rounding them all up. Took me and a friend almost an hour and a half! A lot of cats and wandering dogs in the area, also a hawk was hovering, so it was vital we got them safe. Bit of a leaning curve, but so far so good.
