I've never heard of an Ice Cream Bar chicken. Did you mean Crester Cream Legbar? That was the first chicken we got in December of 2020 and our girl Angie lays beautiful greenish blue eggs, as do our 2 Easter Eggers. I would imagine she's an Easter Egger. They are all different colors. Our...
I don't see Polish in that chick at all. I just hatched GLP eggs yesterday and they look nothing like that. This one has brownish almost black legs like a Silkie and I'd be willing to bet that the white dot on the head is more of a sexlink kinda thing. I can't wait to see it in 4 months! As a...
Thanks for all of the replies fellow chicken lovers. Here's an update on Lovey/Loverboy. Yes, you were all spot on about him being a roo. I'll attach a pic or 2 of him fully grown. He was our boy for over 16 months. We just rehomed him because he ended up being one of 4 roosters we had in our...
I agree about all of what I'm reading. I see all pullets and that picture is a work of art. I have some white Sultans that would look great with the black dress.
I have a gorgeous Showgirl named Dewcee who is 3 months old. She has for as long as I can remember done this head sway that we jokingly call "the Dewcee shuffle". It's happens all of the time, whether sitting, standing ,walking, whatever. It doesn't seem to hurt or bother her but we are...
I have 2 Showgirl chickens, a Mottled Grey that is almost 3 months old named Dewcee and a White with a bit of black on her wings who is 4 weeks old named Stella. I still can't figure out if Dewcee is a pullet or cockerel! She also has something weird that she does with her head too. It sways...
This was very informative. The pictures were beautiful and helped to better look at each comb. I would have loved if it also included examples of the breeds that had each type of comb.
I am devastated. Now what...he's going into a coop with other small breeds so I'll have Sultan mixing with Showgirls, Silkies and a Mille Fleur d'Uccle...unless they are roos too!!! Yikes!!!!
I got a beautiful Sultan from a breeder in mid January and I let her know I needed a pullet. I just now found out that seeing Sultans is very easy but back then I was brand new to chickens and didn't have a clue. She as a baby had a crest and now it's bright red, walnut shaped and in your face...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I have been wanting chickens for quite a while but when a friend of mine bought a home with a coop I really went crazy about them. My husband Bob started building our coop in August 2020. We got our first chick on December 22...
