Hi you all, let's play my favourite game! I know it's too soon to tell for a pea comb breed, but I'm going to update this thread until we solve the mistery. 1 (darker with tufts) 2 (lighter with tufts) 3 (lighter without tufts)

Hi, in the last days my OE Edgar went broody. I let her sit on wood eggs for a couple of days and on Monday I marked 10 eggs, gave them to her and I tried to let her in the nest she chose in the main coop, but she's low rank and other hens kept harassing her because she was occupying their...

Hi, not sure if these are pure Australorps, poor quality Australorps or something else, but what I'm looking for is your opinion about their gender. They are 6 weeks old today: blue and white ones seem pullets to me (based on their combs, small and yellow), I'm not sure about the black ones...

Hi, this is my hen Sante, she's an Olive Egger and she was born here from a broody hen in April 2021. She's almost 2 years old and she never molted since she grew her adult feathers. This winter she stopped laying, but she didn't molt. Now she's laying again, so I suppose I shouldn't expect her...

Hi you all, a friend gave me these chicks and told me they were blue, black and white Australorps. They are 4 weeks old now and they all have very dark eyes, but the white one has yellow legs and beak, shouldn't they be slate? As far as I know these chicks could all be mutts, but I'm curious...

Hi you all, these chicks are 2 months old, their wattles and combs are smaller than those of their silblings, but I'm still not sure if they are female. What do you think? They're mutt, I don't know much about their parents but they were born from blue eggs. Still, they seem to have single...

About one week ago I found one of my Araucanas dead. She didn't look injured and seemed perfectly fine the day before, she wasn't even 2 years old. 😢 I brought her body to the vet and he suspects it was some internal defect, or at least he couldn't find any contagious disease (I live in the...

Hi, I know it's early and OE can't be sexed at this age, but these are the only two chicks my broody hatched, I never had a broody before and I would really really love to keep them both (I could keep a pair, but if they were two males I should probably rehome one of them), so the suspense is...

Hi, my Olive Egger rooster should be an AraucanaXMarans. His comb doesn't look like the typical pea comb you see in the articles showing different comb types and it's bigger than pea combs I saw in Araucana roosters where I live , but I guess this is what you get crossing a pea comb with a...

to my surprise my 1 year old black copper marans pingu went broody. my rooster is still a cockerel (about 11 months old) and I don't know how likely it is that something will hatch, but I decided to give it a try. the cockerel is an olive egger but pingu never allowed him to mate, so I took some...

Hi, my flock consists of 5 Marans girls (one year old), 2 Araucanas girls (ten months old) and my MaransXAraucana cockerel (nine months old). The cockerel (his name is Napoleone) is the newest addiction, he arrived in september and most of the Marans still treat him as an idiot, on the other...

hi, I’m a new member and here is my gang! I know it’s still early, but does anyone want to try and guess their gender? they were 10 days old when they arrived, they are 5 weeks old now (pictures are from today). number 4 and 5 developed earlier than others, they already had some tails when...
