Hi,
Basically, I don't have a lot of time for blogging, but I do love my BYCs. We started with four, have only one left from that wonderful group - a Rhode Island Red named Rhody, who is a little over 2 years old. We successfully introduced four babies to her (2 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Rhode Island Reds) , one of which turned out to be a rooster. They are almost to egg producing age, when up showed this regal black and white speckled bird, who obviously was lost and wanted to claim this as her new home. She is bigger than our Buff Orpingtons and even our older Rhode Island Red. I've ruled out Jersey Giant, but not Black Copper Marans or Black Buff Orpington based on the pictures on your site.
Bottom line, she has worked her way into the pen and although there is a tiff from time to time, they are settling in. I'd just like to know what she is. She has charcoal legs with orange toenails. She is speckled on her head with a black neck and speckled feathers. Her tail is black.
I do have some pictures, but don't know yet how to add them to this site. Would appreciate input.
