Hello all..I'm back in BYC after a long time.hope y'all guys are doing fine.by the way,I rescued a hen from a nasty owner and I'm unsure of what breed it is.can anyone help?thanks in advance guys.
 
This is just a guess- Rhode Island Red. A friend of mine had some hatchery RIR pullets and they looked very much like your rescued girl. It is great she is is now going to have a good life in a happy home.

I see..thanks guys.. one more qns..it's been more than month since I got her..and she hasn't been laying a single egg at all..I suspect it's too old to lay..any other opinions guys?
 
I really have no idea.when I rescued her from her mean owner,she had much damaged and soiled feathers and her legs were very dirty.she had that thing on her eye ever since I got her.

Must just be a wart of some kind. Is it like a skin tag? I just couldn't tell if it was something besides a growth.
 
Yes.it looks like skin of her.any issues with that? or should I do Athens to remove it?
 
Well how long has she had it for? Has it changed in size? If it's not changed and it's not bothering her then just leave it. If it grows and/or it's concerning you then take her to your vet.
