Any advice for me about the Hambar breed? I can’t find much information about when they come into lay.

All help appreciated. I bought 10 chicks from an individual breeder and do not recall what I bought. These are about 3 months old

I purchased these as pullets do you think one is a roo? Trying to sex these for future breeding.

I bought 10 black Cochins from a breeder who had them in a converted 55 gallon drum turned on its side. Everything was very clean but the 2-3 week old chickens had some missing feathers. I thought perhaps they were overcrowded and the breeder assured me the feathers would come back in. 6 weeks...

I have a Cochin rooster that fertilized the hen’s eggs I incubated. There was a frizzled hen’s eggs in the same coop. Bought the smooth rooster at the same location. Could he possibly carry the frizzle gene? I had a few other breeds (non frizzle) that hatched also fertilized by the Cochin...

Something looks strange. Got these from a private farm. Unsure of what’s going on.

This supposed pullet is a bit larger and has solid white feathers on her back and wings. One photo shows one of the regular size chicks same age. This morning I thought maybe she was napping but her breathing seems a bit rapid. Any and all observations welcome.

Was given to me as a hen but seems aggressive. I haven’t heard it crow but is very dominant. Please advise.

These chickens look very different to me. How are they both brahmas?

My pair of geese are supposedly male and female and 7 weeks old. What do you think? I am unsure of the breed. They are growing very quickly and have pin feathers. Already standing 12” not including the long neck. They will eat out of my hand and chase the chickens away from their food or snip...

In preparation for being away from my hens a few days, I bought a Little Giant 10 gallon waterer. Upon returning home the hens were fine but I discovered the waterer on its side and mostly full. One leg was still attached, one half buried and no sign of the third leg. I dug around, raked and...

One of my girls laid a huge egg this morning! Not sure if it was my Barred Rock, Isa Brown or Brahma? It weighs 4 ounces! Has anyone incubated an egg this large with success? Any guess who laid it? Here is a picture next to one of the large blue eggs I collected today. The shell looks totally...

I succumbed to the cuteness again.😉 The first one is about 1week old with feathered legs and feet. The little white one is very feisty and also a week old with clean legs and so tiny it walks through the grid of a small trap cage. Any ideas?

I’ve tried to get two or three pictures of each one. I think one may be a silkie? (5 toes?). The white one was in a bantam tank from TSC. I certainly appreciate all help. Thank you!

I couldn’t resist taking this cute little polish? Bantam home with me today. Atwood’s just got an assortment of bantams and couldn’t help beyond that point.🤔 I know there are experts out here who I can always count on and I greatly appreciate your help and advice.🥰

I’ve seen this a few times now. Looks almost like a little bug but no legs. Two eggs had these floating in the white when I cracked them open. Any idea what’s going on?

I bought a hen and got a roo. Went back to the feed store and was assured this one is a hen. Got home and I’m thinking it’s mixed EE roo, Tried to hop on a hen twice it’s size! What do you think?

This beautiful little “pullet” was crammed in a small cage at my local feed store with several other chickens. I had to rescue her. I’m not sure about her breed or even positive it is a pullet, although they charged me for a hen. Upon arriving home a young hen began having a rival jumping dance...

Hello, I’ve got a beautiful pullet but do not recall what breed I bought or thought I purchased. She has a black and copper collar and beautiful lavender under feathers. She’s a very active free range forger. She’s about 14-16 weeks old. thanks for all your expert input.

This hen was given to me. I think the former owner said she may be part silkie?
