New at this .....

Hi my name is Lisa. From Albion Park Rail NSW Australia... Hello to my fellow Fowl friends

So you want to know a little bit about me. Im 47 now. My childhood consisted of living on a big Pullet farm filled with Suffix chickenschickens. Approx 5000 free range chicks to 10 week old chickens. Then after that they went to other farms before ..

I recently got reintroduced to a chook tronic backyard chook pen with only 1 very independant ISA Brown Hen named Jinx. She is approx 2 years old. Very friendly, loves a pat and a play fight. She just loves attention and she is very sneaky. She is also not clipped. I guess she likes the place she lives in so much. She has not flown the coop. LOL...

So I wanted to add to her life. So I looked on line for some rescue layers (hens). I found out that a man who is RSPCA approved. Rescued a lot of x battery Hens from a farm, that was running illegally. In NSW the laws are strict. No battery run farms aloud. Big fines apply.

So where was I..... I went and picked up a fat Hen. My step mum named her Henny Penny and the name has stuck. As I was picking her up. I noticed a small chicken that was being picked on. My heart felt for it. Gender unknown at this stage. I forgot to ask the gender of the chook. So I purchased it as well. It got the name Speckles, due to her juvenile feather plumage.

So fast forward...(speckles) The chicken is approx 4 months old. Her gender im hoping is a Hen. I will wait for another 3 months. To find out for sure. The gender.

Everyday. I talk to them. They are all very spoilt with scraps, grain food, fresh water everyday and they get every couple of days an egg. They are real gutsies. They follow me everywhere and there is no end to their cheekiness and sneakiness.

Picture displayed is Jinx (hen). On wood. She looks like a Rooster. Henny Penny (hen) Isa Brown not facing the camera and
Speckles (gender ???). I say Pullet, Some say Cockerill.
Is Pullet a breed like an ISA Brown. Or Pullet referring to under 1 year old Hen ?????.
Thanks
