no idea for the hen, but i'm pretty sure that roo is a buttercup. rather pretty bird.

I would guess young white Leghorn for the pullet, and the rooster is a Buttercup.

So a white leghorn pullet and a buttercup roo!! Thank you so much! I looked that up and that is exactly what they are! Finally!

Any guess in their age? I was worried about her not laying.

She is young. Maybe 12-16 weeks.

Making chicks sounds at all? I'm guessing more like 14 weeks old.

I have had her for 2 months approx and she does make some sounds not like a chick tho. I got them both together from same place. A girl had them in a little cat carrier on her porch in the sun. And it is 120 here. So I said was taking them. Built a coop myself and kinda started from there.

What did she look like when you got her? Was she all feathered out, or looked just like she does now?
