This local farm, that sold fresh hatching eggs, let me come out and check out his birds...well....it was like...umm different....there...over 200 free ranging chickens...from large game fowl roosters, to huge Easter egger roosters, and naked necks....but mostly EEs from what I could tell...or thought..idk...anyways, I mentioned that I liked one of his young EE pullets that had that weird blue eye thing going on (which I later realised was from him letting his Roos nab his broilers.....) he wouldn’t part with her, but found one he would that was old enough for me to introduce to my small flock...well, after about 3 weeks of quarantining her and fattening her up she was soooo skinny...well now that I introduced her into my flock, there’s no problems, but she’s just so....odd looking now..like maybe she’s a roo (never had one) or maybe she’s gamefowl mixed with EE? Or is my weird sweet girl....a boy? She stands taller than my Bielefelders who stand 32 inches....but she’s supposedly almost 4 months old...she makes weird coos, I’ve never heard before...but he talked to his chickens like they were babies...and they answered him back ... he said his flock has been going for about 10 years or so.....she fast, flys good, and super high.....no crowing...very small wattles...her neck is super long.....and her face and body posture screams....wild game fowl...but idk...

Those long, long legs make me think EE X Gamefowl.

I wonder what color eggs she will lay 0.0? dude didn’t even know he had EEs he just called them his “babies” and ”mommies”.... I seen naked necks....huge black game fowl rooster with largest comb I’ve ever seen. A few red game fowls running from the giant EEs he had... I will keep you guys updated, maybe get a vid with the weird noises she makes....like little cries.

Are you 100% sure he had Games?

Could be light blue, light Green, brown, cream. Could be any color.

Chickens make weird noises.
