G. gallus domesticus
On these pictures you can see a three chicks, which are light brown, furry. Here they are still somewhere about 2 weeks old, i think. This year a hen, which was a chick a year ago, lay 23 eggs and because she was so clumbsy knocked all of them, but the other hen lay 5 eggs and from those eggs 3 chicks were hatched. Must add that the "clumbsy" hen wanted to hatch those 5 eggs and, again, beat one eggs, whilst the other hen went to eat for 10 minutes. And then she didn't want to leave a nest, so we had to move her in order for the other one to hatch her own eggs. Now both of them are "raising" their chicks, whilst the third hen, who didn't participate in process has her own chicken house, so she doesn't attacks the chicks.
Slovenia.
This breed, as I have noticed, cannot be found on wikipedia amongst breed types, but is authentic in Slovenia, that's why it's called "styrian" or "štajerska" , because it comes from a part called "Styria"/"Štajerska", which is in Slovenia. You can read more about history and species of this breed if you follow reference link.
