    Mystery chick- polish mix?

    Very pretty! Mine how has a much fuller crest and the legs are a lot darker, I think polish usually have light color legs? Maybe I’m wrong

    Mystery chick- polish mix?

    Now it’s a little older! Looks like a hen to me? Tail feathers are throwing me off though, but maybe a breed thing. Crest is a lot fuller! This chicken is pretty cool looking either way :)

    Mystery chick- polish mix?

    Well I’ll have to say really looking like a buff laced polish, still not sure if mixed or if cockerel vs pullet, time will tell!

    Mystery chick- polish mix?

    This chick was in a bin mixed with assorted polish bantams and assorted silkies. I wanted a polish, this one looked like it had a crest, but a lot of people are saying no not polish, silkie... which it looks nothing like my silkie chick or the other silkie chicks that were in there. Plus, it’s...

    Help ideas moving chicken coop

    hi there, I'm moving across town here shortly and we've been pondering ways to move my 4x8x6-7ft very sturdy wood chicken coop my dad and I built. It's up on cinder blocks, and I had planned on maybe keeping it on cement pavers once I get it to the new place, on the ground. I have a flatbed...

    Hurricane Advice

    Last year with Mathew I stuck all my chickens in a windowless brick shed, didn't turn on the lights and every time I checked on them they were roosting as if night. I think the darkness did them good, and I moved them at dusk. Planning to do the same thing tonight, just got to get the kiddie...

    Broody Hen Thread!

    Hi, first time chicken mom here! Turns out one of my hens is broody, so I have a lot of questions!. I toyed with the idea and think it would be neat to let her hatch some eggs. Right now the eggs she's sitting on I'll be collecting (5 days worth of production for my friend so she can hatch...

    FH's Bantam 4x8 coop build

    So been a long time since I edited this, and boy have my babies grown up! I've had one casualty, one of my favorite Duccles, Georgina, who while free roaming decided to roost in the of the trees and the next morning- well I suspect one of the neighbors cats got her. Since the cats have been...

    Whitish scabbing comb?

    Thank you guys! How contagious is the virus? For some reason the flock doesn't sleep on roosts durring the night they all still like to huddle together in the shaving so I'm kind of wondering if everyone has been exposed already.

    Whitish scabbing comb?

    This is Tyson Chicken, he's a 4 month old DUccle Roo, my only roo out of my flock of 7. I'm new to chickens, not sure if this is a fungal infection or chicken pox? He's not acting sick, eating/drinking. I live in Florida where with all the rain brought a ton of mosquitos, plus it's damp/warm...

    Are d'uccles, modern game bantams, brahma bantams, and sultan bantams friendly breeds?

    I got my D'Uccles and EE bantams as my first chickens because of their reputation for being so sweet; they have yet to disappoint. The D'Uccles are even sweeter and more personable than my EE's imo, even my DUccle roo Tyson Chicken lets me pet him!

    FH's Bantam 4x8 coop build

    Woo hop came home from vacation and the coop stayed intact while the hurricane came through! Had put the chickens back in the shed before I left so they waited out the sti in a building I was confident in safety. Did some work to the inside, added the roosts and poop board, organized the...

    D'uccle Thread

    Neat! This is my first time owning chickens, after seeing the D'Uccles at the fair I fell in love with them, and even more when I read how sweet they tend to be. I really wish they were better layers, which is why I decided To also get EE's which I read tend to also be sweet natured. Plus...
