Zoo chickens?

[Wyandottes7]

The black and white ones look like Silver Lakenvelders to me. The buff birds are Buff Orpingtons.

I agree.

I'm impressed. That zoo keeps their chickens very clean. What zoo was it?

I sure don't like the red light bulb hanging with no cage around it , there have been too many horror stories about those bulbs for my comfort!!

I agree, Lakenvelder fits better with the darker grey legs and the dark fringe "mane" of the rooster...and if you think you saw a sign, that's what they would be.

That must be it then! Thank you!

And well, the sign was in the brooder building (oddly they didn't label the chickens, other than a chicken coop outside hah) but if they were brooding chicks they must have them there somewhere!

But yeah, it is definitely clean!! Wish I'd thought to get a picture of the run too!

Although I hadn't even noticed the bulb thing and now that you mentioned it, it definitely does worry me. :/

But anyways, it's Franklin Park
Park Zoo here in Massachusetts!

Think it's in Boston but I'm not sure if it's actually Boston or a neighboring city but yeah

I agree as well.

It's amazing to me, a total beginner who knows nothing, how you guys can pick up such subtle differences between, to me, very similar breeds hahah

Btw, here's the link to the zoo if anyone's interested. I was really impressed with how well done it is, haven't been there in years.

Zoo New England technically owns it and they have another zoo, a smaller one called Stone Zoo, too but yeah.

Here's this one's page.
