What kind of chicken did the neighbor give me?

[pandababy]

Hi all,

My neighbor asked if I could take this chicken because it was bullying her other chickens, I told her I’d give it a try with my mixed flock.

Any ideas on what I’m looking at?

Lakenvelder?

Lakenvelder?

Thanks for your quick response!! Looking at those on Google definitely could fit the bill... it’s quite a small chicken and pretty skittish. It’s smaller than my polish, I had wondered if it’s a bantam. I don’t see how it could be much of a bully but time will tell. We’ve got one polish, one Auracana (sp?) and one Barred Rock, as well a three domestic ducks.

Yes, it is a Lakenvelder. I'm really surprised that it would be a bully, to be honest, because they are not known for that. I hope things work out!

I definitely think you guys are correct! Hopefully she’ll get along great. Named her Oreo.
