Haha, Allen! If you happened upon an unrelated pair like that, your timing is impeccable!
Thanks Mauna Perhaps I spotted a mixed marriage, with hapa chicks, or perhaps the male and female just happened to be in the same area when I took the picture.
Very cute. The male on the left is definitely Gallus gallus domesticus. The hen on the right, however, is not. Males and females look like this: http://cdn1.arkive.org/media/32/3263DC56...
