    Mystery Chicken

    Oh I'm pretty sure there are mixed breeds. I have chickens with green skin! I think they were just backyard chicks that someone had around the farmyard.

    Mystery Chicken

    In May, my husband brought me home 53 chicks from an auction. Some were labeled as Black Australorps, some were barred rocks, and the rest was a group of 24 chicks labeled: brown egg layers. All of these chicks look different. This one, in particular, seems to have a unique head feathering...

    Ameracuana Genders

    Hello all! Earlieer this year, I bought 4 Ameracaunas from TSC. Only 2 have survived. These are my two. Any guesses on genders? They are about 16 weeks old. Sorry, the whiter chicken was laying down and its hot today so I didn't want to mess with it too much. When it stands though, it looks...

    Silkie Gender

    A while ago I bought what I thought were 4 silkies from TSC. Only 2 turned out to be actual silkies (the other two were bantams, but one was a de' uccle, so I'm ok with it!) Sadly, one of my silkies died when she was about 2 months old. Thus, I'm left with one silkie which I really want to be...

    Mystery "Silkie" chicks

    My first batch of 6 chicks I got from tractor supply. These were tetra tints and black australorps. I got them because they are supposed to be good egg layers. After I researched some more, I wanted to get some easter eggers and some silkies, you know, fun chicks. I searched and I ended back up...

    Black Australorp Gender

    Thanks for helping! I thought the 3rd one was a roo, but I'm just learning so I wanted to be sure! That's not a bad deal. These three were straight run. I wanted all hens, but with my luck, I figured I would end up with 3 roosters. But 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all!

    Black Australorp Gender

    Hey all, I have 3 black australorp chicks here. They are about one month old. Is there anyway to tell if they are roosters or hens at this age? Here is a picture of each one. Sorry for the big hand holding them - my husband is a large guy and the chicks wouldn't sit still! Imagine that! If...
