I dont know about that Happy but for now its okay. LOL. Shes a standard bird and will probably end up around 8lbs or so, so I dont know about that. LOL. No doubt though that she will require some special accommodations after being spoiled as a chick and will somehow need to be acclimated to the flock. we'll cross that bridge when we find it. HAHA

I hear you. Part of what makes it somewhat ok for us to have our little rooster inside is that he's tiny...And I don't know if all banties are like this but their

s are FAR less stinky than my big chickens lol. Anyways she sure looks like she's loving life and I'm glad you and the kids are enjoying her!

Adorable! Now I'm nowhere near as experienced as the rest on here but I'm gonna say pullet!? Only because she looks dainty to me.

Americana's are tricky, I never guess until I see hackle, saddle feathers or they crow before I am 100% sure LOL :wink:
