Awe that's so sad the dogs got the chickens! My neighbors dog loves chickens too! He took a ton of feathers out of 2 of my barred rocks. But they both lived thankfully
I just wondered if different chicken breeds have different sounds or "voice" tones. Basically I could tell it was her, because id never heard a squawk like hers in my brooder.
I think it's a normal sound. My girlfriend has had it for the last 3 weeks because we thought at 1st it was her cream legbar. But it wasn't, so we switched birds. So yesterday when she 1st got here I could tell how different she sounded when she was put in with the other chicks I have the same...
Gosh, it sounds more like a pheasant cross chicken.. like chicken and another birds sound.. I don't think peacocks, it's been a while since I've heard a peacock.. I don't really know how to explain, she has a different tone
I have a funny odd question. This chick that I'm not sure what she is she sounds funny... She makes a noise unlike any other chicken I have. Do you know if a SWEDISH FLOWER HEN has a little different sound?? Or do speckled sussex have a little different sound?
I will, thank you for your input! When she was brand new, we figured she has to be the cream legbar (so my friend took her, cuz that is what she ordered) I took the darker one, and since we didn't know who else died, we figured the dark one had to be one of the 3 I ordered, sussex, sfh, or...
I thought the dark one had to be the cream legbar. She looks to be developing a crest, She's very silver looking. I think she's just darker then what I've been seeing, and that's what was throwing me off
Here you can see the white on her chest. It also looks like maybe just maybe she's getting a crest. I could be wrong.. I'll have to wait and see. She's only 3 weeks right now
Thank you!! The lighter one that I'm Hoping is the Swedish Flower, she has a white feather on her wing, and she has some white feathers on her chest. I will takea . Can SFH's have some white feathers on their chests? Do they have a usual foot color? Or can it vary?
That's awesome! I would love to see pictures sometime soon. I see your in Washington! I'm from north Idaho :-D. Are these new hatches you own eggs? Ir were you able to find some SHF eggs for sale?
Chick "B" seems more silvery, like a Cream legbar. And also has very yellow feet.. Chick "A" has a white wing feather, which I don't think cream legbars should not have. But a speckled sussex or Swedish Flower Hens can have white. And chick "A" has a Cream to peach like color leg/feet
That's so funny you say that!! We thought at 1st, she was the cream legbar. Then one they feathered out, I was sure chick "B" pictured below was the cream legbar. I'm pretty sure chick "B" is getting a crest. We have 2 mystery chicks. That are one of these... speckled sussex, Partridge...
Hi guys, I'm hoping you could help me with this lil girl. She is a hatchery chick. But do you think she is a Swedish Flower Hen, speckled sussex or possibly a partridge Penedesenca?
Ok, thank you! I will still love my little Swedish flower, even if she isn't perfect. Hahaha hahaha... I'm not perfect either :-D I'm not into showing or anything like that right now.. maybe one day in the future. But right now im content just getting my colourful egg basket
