Is she extra tall in the leg and have especially sturdy looking legs? Are her feathers sort of close to her body?<BR/><BR/>Murray McMurray says the hens "are wonderfully hardy. This variety will come as close as any to rustling for themselves under rough conditions.."<BR/><BR/>(My own mud room is currently a chicken coop with about 30 young chickens. very dusty.

My parents and I raise goats and a few chickens also, so it's really interesting reading about your farm:) Your story about Crazy Chicken is great! I looked at the handy-dandy chicken breed chart, and it looks like Crazy Chicken- with two Capitol C's- could be a Dark Cornish hen. Here is the link to a website with some pictures of them: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Cornish/BRKCornish.html <BR/>Hope that helps:) You've got a great blog!

She must be super chicken too to have avoided the stew pot, but periodically laying an egg.<BR/>Too funny. I remember a chicken who used to chase me when I was quite little...he became stew..
