Spotted hen

! I can’t believe they’d do that! I think they were probably lying on purpose.

I’m sure they did, now she isn’t responding to me

How did you get the chicken? Did they drop it off or do they live nearby or something? Is there a way to go to their house?

I posted an add for my roosters on a local backyard chicken group and she said she would trade my 3 roosters for one hen. Then we met at a gas station that is half ways for both of us. She told us a general location of where she lives. She seems to have a lot of chickens and turkeys, she even asked if she could have one of our turkey toms

How far is it to the gas station?

about 25-30 minutes she lives in the next town over

Well, on the bright side, Orpingtons make really nice roosters.
Our Clifford is the nicest chicken we've ever had.

Yours has some English blood, and since he's a boy he's obviously not done growing yet, with his tail only half grown. So, he may fluff out a bit more and earn the "English" designation.

Yeah I’m definitely not upset that it’s a rooster, I was fine with either or. I’m kind of glad it’s a rooster so that I don’t have to start looking for a new one and this rooster is super sweet he let me cary him for a good 10 minutes while we were driving back home

Ohh, I thought that you specifically wanted a hen. That’s good then!

 

[Painted Calls]

Goodness! I didn't even look at age or for sex. I just looked at skin color.

I wanted a new hen but I was fine with a rooster too, we needed a new rooster anyway
