What Kind of Chicken is This?
Our take
Welcome to the whimsical world of chicken identification! We’ve all found ourselves in a cluck-tastically puzzling situation, just like our friend who rescued a young chicken from a busy grocery store parking lot. Now, they’re on a quest to discover the breed of this feathery friend—could it be a mix? With a suspected age of around 8 weeks, knowing whether this little one is a hen or a roo adds another layer of intrigue. If you’ve ever had a Polish chicken, you know the joy of easy sexing, but this little mystery might just keep us on our toes (or should we say, on our talons?). Join the conversation and let’s unravel this chicken conundrum together! Your insights will surely be egg-citing!

| I rescued this young Chicken from a busy grocery store parking lot. Does anyone have any idea what breed it may be? Or is it a mix? Also, is there any way to tell if it is a hen or roo? I always had Polish, which were easy to sex. I suspect he/she is close to 8 weeks old, but not 100% sure. Any input would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |

- chicken breed?Anyone know what breed this fella is? I know absolutely nothing about chickens and work at a horse lesson barn, i think someone dumped her(?) about a week ago. She showed up in one of the pastures with a rooster, but the rooster disappeared and she stuck around. She gets pretty close to us but wont let us pick her up, so I'm assuming she's been around people before. I think my coworker owns chickens at her own farm and brought chicken food for us to give her, but i was curious on what she was lol. I think once we can manage to pick her up, the coworker with chickens was gonna try integrating her into their home group of chickens so she isn't just alone here. She doesn't seem to mind being on her own at least, she's befriended most of our horses lol. Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything about what she is! submitted by /u/SeveralTry3967 [link] [comments]

- I was given a chickenHi, my folks have always loved chickens and recently they stumbled upon a group of mixed chicks for free on marketplace. A two were very sick and one didn’t make it but I managed to nurse one back to health. Little guy follows me everywhere and is very friendly despite what I thought I knew about roosters. My only problem is that I don’t know what kind he is or if he’s mixed. Help would be greatly appreciated! submitted by /u/unsolved_Rubiks_cube [link] [comments]
