After a year of life with 6 red hens (1 RIR and 5 red sexlinks) I decided to shake up the coop with a Rooster. So it goes the local pet/feed store a neighbor uses knew of someone with roosters.
I believe he is around 9 m. old. He's a decent guy who doesn't seem to mind us humans. He has taken his place over with a grace I didn't expect.
I took a hen that is just starting to lay. I think "chicken lady" said she was an Araucana, although I am unsure. She is a BiG bird and has a bigger spirit. She is happy to roam the perimeter of the acreage here and seems pretty submissive The red hens albeit smaller seem to think she needs fixing being different. She is subject to regular peck, chase and run games from the reds. She doesn't seem to know she is bigger than them.
My real mystery is a pullet named "Pidge." About the sweetest little puppy-like hen I could ask for. Chicken lady told me I could take her as she was in a coop with chicks. So I thought I was adopting a young Brahma. However, she has no foot feathers. Any ideas based on my pics what she might be?
I appreciate any help with the id of our 3 newbbirds.
"hawk" was her previous name. I call her "pretty chicken"
Name tbd. Either "fancy feet" or "fancy pants!"
My newest cling-on..... "Pidge"
