zoeftm Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hello I've been given a chicken to foster -she was found as a stray and so far no one has claimed her. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what sort she is? She's very big! I e only had ex batts before now so haven't got a clue about breeds! Thanks ! http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj313/zoeftm/Mobile%20Uploads/image.jpeg[/img Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percy049 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I have to say that I haven't seen a chicken that looks like that before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Verry pretty though, but is she not a he? Looking at the very pointed back and neck feathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looks like a Heinz 57 cockerel to my untrained eyes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'd say cockerel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjp Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 cross breed cockerel probably 2 or 3 years old but I think he'd have been a good looking lad in his prime. he could have some maran based hybrid in the mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm afraid I'm going for 'chap' as well due to the pointy neck and saddle/back feathers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yes does look a mix,poor fella. You may well have your answer tomorrow morning. Your new alarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoeftm Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 Thank you so much Percy and Cat tails for making my pic appear! And everyone else for your replies. Re: Bertha being a bloke........noooooooooooooo :-0 I live in a 3 bed semi in suburbia...I don't think a cockerel will go down well with my neighbours ! He didn't crow this morning so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that either you are all mistaken (no offence lol) , or he is so old his crowing days are over. I will let you know what happens in the morning .... Thanks Zoe X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It will be a wait and see I guess. But this explains why he was straying... Might just be dumped, because he is a bloke. I guess Bertha will be Bert. He is a lovely looking boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
