UGLY Mexican Hen

All the downtown chickens in Phoenix cluck in Spanish. Quiero los gallos guapos!!!

It looks like a tiny ostrich the way the legs are placed.

Sorry, I don't think she is ugly at all. She just appears to have big feet. I love her feather colors.

. I have no clue what she is either, but I like the buff colored feathers.

pues tal vez en el fin son wopos

Does anyone know how to sex the chicks? Did I bring home a gallina/hen? I probably should know this before buying two more. This is the same seller that sold me 5 black sex link roos & said they were all RIR!!! I'd held out that they were another breed and hens for 5 months. We ate 4 of the 5 and the only seller in town! Doesn't know much about chicken breeds but he's known in the area as the only seller.

You have to remember, 99.9% of my class is Mexican so I read that to them and that thought it was funny and that she's not ugly.

en serio??? Really?? are you teaching them how to raise chickens? kakakaka! I went back and bought two more for a total of 3. Appearently they only lay in summer and early fall. But they're great broody hens. in that case, the roo gets to stay. I'd like to see what I can get w/a game hen & bsl roo and the red sex link hen and black sex link roo. I'm just trying to get some good laying hens and it's been a challenge. Y si, son muy feas!!! They're considered fino hens which the roos are cock fighting roos. I have a neighbor that has a huge avery of fighting cocks. Offered me one of his hens for $45. I said no way. Cock fighting is legal in Mexico.

Yep, in fact one of our members just dropped off 27 eggs to go in the 'bator in class tomorrow.

If you bought a rooster of the same breed as your hen, you probably shouldn't keep him with other roosters. In fact, don't. You said they are games; the new roo will probably kill the other rooster.
