Mystery Chicken

[roosterhavoc]

Not likely... depending on where you are.
She’s a veeery lean bird, if anything she was a breeder hen for cockfighting.

Just because someone owns gamefowl doesn’t mean they use the birds for illegal purposes.
You know what happens when you assume?

Little uncalled for there.
I didn’t assume anything.
If OP found a game hen skinny and beat up, alone, it is a possibility that she came from a fighting setup.
I’m just speculating.
Cockfighting is common in many places. I don’t know where OP is, but I would assume that they don’t have too many wild chickens.

No it’s not uncalled for at all. She was loose since November. She has all kinds of damage to her tail that could have been from an animal, rooster etc..
What makes you think she’s from a fighting set up?

Yeah I know. Comparing her to the normal flocks kept around here she sticks out a lot. The others tend to be the precious chunky egg layers. Lol

Well again it's only an assumption because she doesn't resemble any of the other birds around here. You could be right but honestly with no one coming forward to identify or claim her there's no way to know.

It's totally fine. You're right wild chickens aren't too common around here. If by some chance a chicken does get loose It's quickly identified and the owner picks him or her up. This bird is just a plain mystery.

She is a mix of gamefowl of some sort and someone probably couldn’t keep her out of the trees or in the pen. Most likely why the wings were clipped.
