I cannot post a photo at this time, no camera, but would like help if anyone can.
I am pretty sure it is a hen, and a bantam. body is black with white barring her head and neck is a golden color. very small comb and wattles. she has white fuzz on her ear lobes, the long flight feathers are white or light gold, she has a very up right tail. she is very small when compared to my LF girls.
I work at a Vet clinic, and I got a call today from one of our other clinics that they had a 'wild' chicken, and would I take it. She is not a wild or even a feral chicken. This has been someones pet. she is very friendly and sweet. When I let her out of the crate when I got home, she jumped into my lap and made herself right at home. The poor thing has frost bite on her wattles, and the toes on one of her feet are very swolen and the tips of them have been frozen off. I think the poor little girl got lost before this last cold spell (-15) and couldn't find her way home. We are going to have -20 the next 2 days, I don't think she would have made it. I have her in my basement right now, and will keep her in till after this cold spell.
