Hello, my flock is mixed mainly silver laced wyandottes and buff Orpington mix but a friend gave me a couple wild rescued hens and that is mixed in there. Also 6 heritage turkeys, bourbon Tom and royal palm is my oldest hen. We let a couple sit on eggs every year but try to keep only 10 or so chickens and six turkeys. The little red hen is a rescue, she routinely hatches at least two clutches of eggs a year of mixed turkey and chicken eggs.

Love that red hen. I'm hoping for one of my hens to go broody come spring so my grand kids can see a hen with chicks.

That chicken hen hatched out turkey poults! Adorable! What did she think of them once they got older?

Beautiful birds. That Bourbon tom is stunning.

Thanks for sharing!!
