    Silkie thread!

    Hinotori, What color do you call these silkies?

    This does not look like a turkey to me

    THanks! So, I guess between getting a name from a hatchery and being recognized by APA is a kind of gray area. It's an unrecognized breed. I don't judge - I think new things are good as long as they don't supplant old things ;)

    This does not look like a turkey to me

    I don't know too much about it. I just think, since they are so popular, there should be people working on making them a breed. If this is the kind of dog that really fits the lifestyle of the 21st century, it should be. Also, they used to be a big dog, and bred to standard poodles, but now...

    Perfect little chick

    There are five now, including this one that may be like a grey partridge color. Only the second time I've gotten this color chick.

    Perfect little chick

    I don't know what color to call it. They come in all of these varying colors of grey, some solid some splash. This, first one to hatch, was such a perfectly uniform shade. I think maybe lavender? Porcelain?

    That'll work! For silkies especially, because they are so gentle, you shouldn't have any issues reintegrating. I don't do that anymore because I'm too lazy.

    Yes. I think that is the right move.

    This does not look like a turkey to me

    I'm didn't research the Indian River from you list. When I looked at the others, I learned that technically, Dixie Rainbows, Rangers, and Asian Blues are not hybrids. The breeders are defining them as a new breed, and they probably applied for patent or trademarks for them (so other hatcheries...

    This does not look like a turkey to me

    I think you produced a good list of non-standard breeds and hybrids that can be investigated to determine this chicken's breed. (It's not on your list, but maybe you can think of others you've seen.) The hatcheries come up with this new stuff all the time so it is extremely difficult to keep up...

    This does not look like a turkey to me

    Intentional hybrids with a purpose like sex-linked and meat birds. Not random cross-bred mutts. She looks like a layer or dual purpose, def not meat. Not pretty enough to be bred for color. So, if hybrid, probably sex-linked. I've only bought chicks from TS a few times, but I don't...

    Silkie thread!

    I always use a marker on the eggs the broody is sitting on, and then remove the new eggs every day. I try to mark all sides of the eggs, so I don't have to move them much.

    3 month old Bantam, what gender?

    I think the dark one is a cockerel because of the shape of the hackle feathers. Otherwise, I would say it was a pullet. You really can't tell by the comb unless it is really big and red, or if you have a number of chickens the same age and breed where you can compare them. I actually think...
