This beautiful bird just showed up!

[RedHillChicken]

We've been blessed with this new arrival. Cinnamon/brown with black tail feathers. We hope it's a female. She arrived two nights ago, and stayed out in the bushes every night. But every morning she'd show up. She has been taken care of quite well, and she has clear eyes. Got her to go into the coop/run this morning with the other ladies without much fussing, and tonight she's asleep between two of our buff orpingtons. We're figuring she's 16-20 weeks old. Any ideas as to breed and gender?

Production red? Seems like a hen to me! Maybe Rhode island red

Major score ! Possibly a production red or Hatchery quality New Hampshire. It's a pullet.

She's pretty close to pictures we see of the New Hampshires with their black tail feathers surrounded by the cinnamon feathers. Her color is a deep cinnamon/brown, darker than most of the pics we've seen of the New Hampshires, but looks like the pictures of production reds. She sure will be a welcomed addition to our flock, albeit she'll be at the bottom of the pecking order. I'm thinking she's already accepted since she's still sleeping between the two buffs.

Pullet for sure, and I do not know the breed, but I agree with a production bird such as Production Red.

She's a beauty!

She obviously belongs to somebody.

She obviously has been taken care of, and it's sad she's not at her home. We don't know anyone around us that have birds, but would return her to her owners if we could find them. For now, she's getting love and attention (and treats) like our flock. The fact that she slept on the top perch with two buffs is encouraging.

I know, and I'm sure she's being missed. She's been loved and taken care of for sure. We think she may be laying already because we found an egg in the sandbox below the perches that looks different from our ladies eggs.
