    I'm a new chicken owner! We've been wanting chickens and reading up on it, making coop plans and four days ago we went and picked up six laying hens from a friend who was getting out of having chickens for a while. I was asking about some of the breeds while I was there but I wasn't there when...

    Chantecler or Orpington?

    I have an adult buff hen, with a very small (almost non-existent, it's a flat red spot above the beak) comb and also very little wattle. I thought perhaps she was an Orpington but then I noticed that she has very yellow legs, more yellow than the Orpington, more like the Chantecler. (But we live...
