I know it is generally not a good idea to buy chickens from a flea market, but I had no chickens and this was the easiest way. This guy is friend of my Mother in Law, so I trust them to be ok. They have some feathers missing from their hind quarters, I expect from being kept in a small enclosure too long. He said the former owners didnt take care of them right. I'm treating it like a rescue. Anyway, he said the Rooster was a black australorp. here is a picture:
He said this hen is one too:
And he said this hen is an Amerucana:
They are really flighty, they move to the other end of the pen when I come near. I've had them for a week, and they are starting to come near if I bring food and stand still, but only if I stay out of their run. Any help with what kind they are will be appreciated.
