I am a total Newbie but hope to be joining your ranks soon! In the meantime: I am obsessed with finding out the breed of chicken shown on Hobby Farms calendar for April. To my totally untrained eye it looks a lot like a Buff Orpington, but has some parti-colored feathering on the back. If anyone out there has this calendar and can tell me what is pictured I will be eternally grateful.
I don't have the calendar, but a lot of calendars have a list in the fine print or on the back if they don't caption the actual pics. Whoops, almost forgot- from South Carolina!
I'm not familiar with the cover- I found a link to the cover for this month's issue: http://www.hobbyfarms.com/hobby-farms-portal.aspx Is there a link to the pic you mean in there somewhere?
Thanks all! ranchhand: good idea - I'll check the back today Mahroni - thnaks for the hint - maybe Google Images will have a pic I can check against the calendar ChooksChick - I've got that issue and that's not the hen I'm looking for on the cover. I think that must be one of the Heritage breeds in the article Schultz - I don't have a scanner : - ( off to search Google images - if I can find what I want I'll post the link here ; - )
