    Help? Mystery

    Run-of-the-mill Easter Egger. She does have muffs , they're just smaller than you might expect. She's a cutie, and I do think she's a she!

    New baby Wyandottes & Blue Brahma! I think!?

    It's a little early to tell for sure, but the first and the last look fairly feminine. Not sure about the one in the middle-that type of feathering tends to foretell a boy (this is the one you didn't quite know the variety). My only qualm on the laced girl is whether or not those hackles are...

    Polish?? Good ole Poultry Show surprise!

    A white-crested blue? All of the white-crested whatevers have some of their body color at the base of their crest, so maybe she just has more than usual? I dunno, she's awful cute. :D Does seem like there's a lot of Polish in there, but who knows what else there is! Good luck with her!

    Odd duck embryo development? Pics

    Nope, just out of my own duckies. :/ I really can't think of anything I did differently with these eggs, especially since it's only three out of the dozen. Turner's working, shouldn't be hotspots because they're spread out...I really don't know what's going on. I'll keep an eye on these ones and...

    What breed is this?

    ...chicken butt. In order to tell the breed of a bird, it's best to get a side view. Not a lot of breed characteristics in the tail. Things I look at to determine breed: Head (comb, crest, muffs, beard, color) Body (shape, variety, feather type) Feet and legs (feathered, color, number of...

    Black Mottled Bantam Cochin gender guesses and a pic of our Lavender Americauna.

    Love those Lavs! It's pretty early to tell on those Cochins, but they look suspiciously masculine. The Ameraucana is probably a girl? Hard to tell there as well. Look for pointed hackle feathers, shine on hackle or saddle feathers, etc. And of course, wattle and comb development and color.

    Cochin chicks - any idea on sex or color?

    I agree that the colors will probably be all over the place. The "penguin" ones with white bellies and faces will probably end up some degree of mottled or black. The full black ones will probably be black. The boy is not partridge, but also kind of all over the place? If I had to put a...

    Note on the pictures: make sure when you go to generate a url (after you've uploaded the picture, before you embed it in your comment), you tick the box labeled "Image not just link" or something like that. Also, you should be able to click on the picture you want from the pop-up that comes up...

    What breed are my chickens..

    It looks like they were crossed with a laying breed, given the body and tail shape. Beyond that...it's hard to say unless you know what color the Silkies were. What color are their shanks and feet? Very cute, by the way. I love the look of Silkie crosses.

    Assorted Bantam surprise

    Looks like a feedstore Cochin all right! it's called a single comb by the way :D He's a cutie! He looks sort of barred in the pictures? Or has he just got that black baby chick pattern they get sometimes? I love his attitude.

    Odd duck embryo development? Pics

    Candled my Welsh Harlequin eggs on day nine and noticed three of the eggs had some odd development. They've got these clear pocket/culdesac type things where normally there is development. Otherwise, they're normal -- nice squirmy big-eyed babies! All the other eggs are fine, except for one...
