Mystery Chicken

[JudgeChunk]

Does she lay any eggs?

No eggs. She's more preoccupied with eating and sunbathing. Also she was severely underweight and beaten up when I originally found her. I don't think she's even in condition to lay?

Probably.
She looks at least one year old.
Even as a gamefowl, she does look a bit skinny.

I've been feeding her plenty of veggies and pellets to get her weight up. She also has free run of the yard so she's constantly eating. I used to have an earwig problem...USED TO.

Sounds like you’re caring for her well!
Does she have chicken feed, too?

She’s an American game hen or maybe an American game mix. Good job rescuing her!

I bought several types of food since I was getting mixed responses from other people. I have chicken scratch, Layer Booster daily diet, this bag of cracked corn, dry mealworms.

Thanks! I shudder just thinking she was possibly someone's dinner that escaped.

Not likely... depending on where you are.
She’s a veeery lean bird, she could have been a breeder hen for cockfighting.

She’s a veeery lean bird, if anything she was a breeder hen for cockfighting.

Sounds more probable if I were to be honest with you.
