What are these birds????

[Jessica_1285]

They have been living on our property for about a month they just hang around the chicken coop. I cant figure out if they are some kind of wild bird or if they are chickens lol. They are really small and can fly. We can get within about 4 feet of them before they take off.

Those girls look quite a bit like my Old English Game hens. How lucky you are they are great little hens.

They're probably just Phoenix hens. (a breed of chicken)


Remember, the original chickens looked like that.

most likely it won't be this breed but there is a possibility that someone the neighborhood specialize in these wild birds
