    Genders

    These are mixed breeds we hatched ourselves. Hatched around April 21 so I'm hoping they're big enough to tell gender. I'm pretty confident on a few of them but wanted some outside thoughts. I tried my best to get good pictures, I can always attempt to get more if needed (although hopefully not...

    Rats! Thanks!

    Roo or hen?

    I thought this was a hen but now I'm questioning. It's about 3 months old (1/11/21). Mixed breed- based on coloring probably from our Columbian Wyandotte hen and our Whiting True Blue mixed roo

    Barnyard mix roos?

    We might keep 1 or 2. We'll rotate out the roos we have now. There's another one that I was confident on that's a gorgeous rust color I'd like to keep (the one behind roo "C")! Probably won't end up on the dinner table, I still can't bring myself to do that after 4 years of ownership 🙈. I'll...

    Barnyard mix roos?

    We hatched our own mixes on January 11th this year. I'm pretty sure these are all roosters but wanted a 2nd opinion. If it makes a difference hens were our ISA Browns (possibly a Columbian Wyandotte). And we have 2 roosters, one is a Whiting True Blue and the other is a Whiting True Blue/White...

    Whiting True Blue from McMurray

    The last batch of Whiting TB we got from McMurray did not impress us (ordered 20 I think). We had 1 die soon after shipping, ended up with 1 rooster (but we kept him and he actually turned out to be pretty good), and I'm fairly certain quite a few have eye issues- cloudy looking eyes, at least...

    Rooster Beauty Contest (Weekly)

    This is Harry! I'm fairly certain he's 100% Whiting True Blue but if not, he's at least 50% mixed with either White Leghorn or California White. He's about 5 months old.

    Don't know what breed or gender you have? Click here!

    Am I correct in my assumption that this chick is a rooster? It's roughly 2 months old, a mix of Whiting True Blue (roo) and California White (hen)

    Rooster of the week!

    This is Hank, our Whiting True Blue roo! He's a good boy, is great at protecting all his girls.

    What breed?

    Thanks all! She came with some leghorns, buff orps, a speckled Sussex, and an Appenzeller Spitzhauben roo!

    What breed?

    Picked up some new chickens yesterday. Figured out what they all were except this girl. Any ideas?

    Silkie mixes need new home in NC

    We were starting to think that. That's a bit of a bummer. They're from a neighbor's hatch and from a total of 5 chicks, at least 4 of them have turned out to be cockerels

    Help with Welsummer identification

    That comb tip helped a lot when we sold a couple Welsummers the other day! Thanks! I'm attaching not the greatest picture to show my dilemma! The hen in the front is a Welsummer while the one behind it is a Whiting, they're almost identical! (Minus the comb and the whiting has gray legs you...

    Help with Welsummer identification

    This would have been ideal had we done it before putting them in the coop with the others lol. We are looking into bands though since we ended up with an accidental Whiting roo and plan to try and hatch some chicks soon!

    Help with Welsummer identification

    Thanks! This is something I was looking for. Egg laying is a crapshoot for identification for us lol, we have 50+ chickens and it's near impossible to keep track of who's laying.
