My neighbors left behind several chickens to fend for themselves. Only 5 remain. 4 black and one odd whitish one... what do you think she is? They are all female, rooster was killed by a coyote. Sorry for the blurry pics, the neighbors weren't the most friendly so the chickens are scared of people.


This is all of them. The one on the far right is named Toast after the Brave Little Toaster. She will come within 10 feet of me if I throw feed to her.. whereas all the others will run if I come within 50 feet.


She has a cream colored body and a reddish-gold head and black on her tail. She may very well be a mutt but I'd love to know if anyone knows what she may be. (the neighbors original roo was a Welsummer if that helps)
 
That's a game hen, and odds are she'll be the lone survivor of that group. They're great at living on their own, and also great mothers.
