Hi, I have an 8 week old Easter Egger chick. I'm starting to wonder if its a cockerel. Most of the chicks have pea combs, however this one is a straight comb and it's turning pink. His/her wattles are turning pink/red also. Any guesses as to pullet or cockerel?

Hi, I'm having the hardest time deciding if I think the Germinal Disk looks like a bulls eye or if I'm seeing things. 🤦‍♀️ In certain light they look fertilized, while other light looks like a regular unfertilized egg's Germinal Disk. What do you see?

Hi, a few weeks ago I bought a pair of Fawn Silver Duckwings. They were supposed to be for my kids in 4h. They were shipped so I didn't see them in person. I've seen several pictures of Fawn Silver Duckwings and these do not look like the variety. Now I've recently heard the Cockerel looks like...

Hi, I'm incubating Coturnix Quail eggs. It's been a few years since I've incubated eggs. I put them in the incubator on January 17th at 8am.

Hi, I've been a member for 6 years. However I've stopped raising poultry for a while and instead began focusing on rabbits. Well as much as I love rabbits, chickens are my thing. I've currently got 68 Coturnix Quail eggs in the incubator and plan to add some chickens once the quail hatch. The...

Hi, I'm supposed to pick up two Pullets this weekend. The owner said they are Araucana's or Americana and they got them from a breeder. I want to be sure I'm not paying for Americana and them really be Easter Eggers. I don't mind buying Easter Eggers but not for this price. What do they look...

Hi, I got this hen from a trade. This hen has been broody for months and the person wanted a Pet for their kids not a crazy broody girl. I was more than happy to swap. I'm a bit confused on her breed/cross though. What do you think she is? Ignore the coop had to clean it when I got home.

Hi, I picked up some Silkies this afternoon. They are 6 weeks old. I posted pictures on Facebook and someone said I shouldn't breed them because their combs are different. I have one with a Walnut Comb, a few have 3 rows, and others have single combs. My question is if I was to breed them can I...

Hi, I have a 4 week old white Silkie. I know it's still early but what do you think? Hen or Roo?

Hi, so I told myself I wouldn't get anymore chicks. Well it's addicting. I went to tractor supply knowing I would walk out with some. They had ISA Browns which I've never heard of until today. I read that you can sex them by color at hatch. These are a few days old. From what I've read it looks...

Hi, I just got some more chickens today. They are roughly 2 months old give or take. I believe (Correct me if I'm wrong) the Solid White one is a White Leghorn Hen. I'm a bit clueless as to the others. Any Ideas? Thanks. :)
