Hi,
I'm new here and am now a chicken owner! So far!
I found 3 chickens by my farm Sat. and caught them Sunday. They were in the exact same spot, where I think they were dumped.
I'm in the middle of no where, ND. and none of my neighbors have chickens, so I assume they were dropped off. They are in great shape and fat, so I don't think they traveled far. They are also fairly tame. I'm surprised they are a fancy type and wouldn't think someone would just dump them, but people can be strange!
They are in temporary digs.. staying in a dog house and dog kennel for now. I am working on getting a little place put together for them.
So my big question is, I am wondering what they are and what sex. I know the big brown one is a rooster because he crows and protects the others. I am hoping the other 2 are hens!
I've always wanted chickens and my husband was against it, so I never went out and bought any, but when they fall in your lap, it was meant to be! So I hope to learn a lot from all of you!
Anyway, here is a pic of them:
Hens? I hope?
