This one has really pretty markings on his/her wings! Can't wait to see it on 6 weeks

Thank you for your replies! The black one has a yellow belly and a white spot under the chin. I will post pics at 6 weeks and see what you think :) Thanks again!

Thank you for your reply! I'm trying to google pictures of all those breeds but I think they all look the same to be honest! I was leaning towards New Hampshire for the yellow ones? Their faces are different though. One is more puffy with a short beak and the other is more slim line with a...

We picked up these 3 from a hatching programme at my daughters kindy. If it helps, the company's website says the eggs they sell are: Australorp Sussex New Hampshire Leghorn lohmann Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3

Buggar. Lol I might buy some more chicks for my other broody then and try my luck again :) Thank you!

Really? I honestly think it's a pullet. It certainly behaves like one! The white rooster has double the size comb and wattles and bright red and they are the same age. (The pics of him were taken 2 weeks prior). He also started crowing around 3 weeks ago. The brown/red one doesn't crow, and when...

I'm in Australia so no bird flu issues here (yet!) Here's my girl now at around 10ish weeks. One of the other hens pecked some feathers from her head :( so that's why there's some missing!

Thank you! The farm shop said the breeder had frizzle, Belgian duccle, pekin and bantam araucana (the ones that lay blue-green eggs) Ok I'll catch the pullet tonight when the sun goes down (they're bloody quick! I let them free range) and take more pics of her Thanks so much!

Ok here we are again 2 weeks later. 7-8 weeks old. I only took pics of the cockerel but I'm certain they're the same breed (whatever that is!). The brown one has a small orange comb still so I'm assuming pullet. When the boy stands, his tail usually sticks up a lot higher than in the pics. Any...

Yes that's my youngest, Olivia. She just loves all the chickens. Takes the adult ones on the swing and slide with her, plays 'doctor' with them lol. They're all so placid and lovely. or they're probably all so tormented by her that they just give up and let her do whatever lol That's her...

Thank you! I wasn't sure how it worked. I posted here again initially but thought my post may have gotten lost somewhere down the line and people wouldn't see it because it's so old! Yes it is definitely a small farm shop. Could you take a guess at what breeds could be mixed in? Maybe pekin x...

I thought so too! Always the most charming ones that are boys. So you think the other one is a pullet? She's much more flighty and noisy than the white one who is quite placid. Could they be a cross of breeds maybe? There aren't too many bantam breeds are there?

I fell in love with this colour when I first saw it last year and have been trying to find one!! I hope I'm in luck!

I posted this a few weeks back when they were 2-3 weeks. I bought them from a farm shop and they couldn't tell me the breed only that they were bantams. I also bought two more pure bred Belgian duccles from a breeder and they definitely don't look the same. But I don't think they're 'round'...

They don't have the fluffy cheeks like duccles normally have? I wonder if I should have posted this in a new post.
