Rescued from Snow Storm...what am I? UPDATE Chickens were Dumped!!

[boilerjoe_96]

My wife was driving to work and saw huddled down in the road ditch, almost buried in snow was this bird. She thought it was a pheasant at first, but once she walked up to it she stated it had crazy feathers on it's head... I figured Polish of some sort, any ideas....


The best part is she claims not to like the chickens I have... Always seems to be concerned for them and now gets out of the car in a snow storm to rescue one....

This is what she emailed me I will try to get better pics tonight when I examine the bird to make sure it is ok...

Edited the subject line to advise of update..

Looks like a Golden Polish Roo.

I concur!

I have one, but he does not have as nice of a crest on his head.

I agree with the breed & gender. He sure is handsome and flashy!

He is beautifull!! Yup, a GP roo. Lucky you, that your wife found him! If only he could talk....wonder what his story would be?

Are you sure it is not a gold-mixed brabanter. Looks like it has that weird comb on it's head.
