Can someone ID this evergreen thorny shrub please

[Panda]

I have 2 of them that I got last year but I forgot to label them, although on one of the plants there was a label for azalea but possibly I mislabelled it, it's evergreen and has tiny thorns, I did order Pyracantha and Cotoneaster last year around that time so possibly it's one of those, thanks

Could be pyracantha!

Ok thanks, as long as its not azalea then I can keep it in the yard with my chooks

You could look around your garden, and plant it where intruders are likely to climb into your garden. You never know. They are very popular burglar barriers! I bought 2 for that purpose. They have lovely berries and are a joy to look at in terrible winters. Cotoneaster is a good barrier to filter foul air. I am trying to propagate it.

Hi Panda:

This is a Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles sp.) in the Rose family (Rosaceae). Flowering Quince are deciduous to semi-evergreen. In milder climates they seem to only drop some of their leaves in the fall.
