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

    Breed identification help. I was gifted fertile eggs from a friend who got them from a friend. I've no idea what breeds the eggs came from and I'm sure they mixes of some sort. This little hatched last night from a medium shade of brown like the darker of two eggs in the picture only larger like...

    Wing claws

    So .... I bought 6 pullet chicks from a feed store for a broody. I didn't look them over closely when I got them and the broody is so protective I haven't handled them until today. The silkie chick got out of the run and I scooped her up to return her and wanted to check out her feet cause I...

    Are these eggs fertile?

    Not 100% sure maybe welsumer EE mix. He is from a flock with with a lot of breeds the roosters were a welsumer and a Orpington I think. Here's a recent pic. He's the little brown chick in my avatar too.

    Are these eggs fertile?

    Thank you! The rooster was hatched by a broody last summer. He's 8/9ish months old now so I thought we may start having fertile eggs. I haven't seen any romance so Ive been watching the yolks. I'm hoping to have a broody soon so I'm trying to track which hens are laying fertile eggs. It's...

    Gender guesses please

    No worries. I hope you figure out what's wrong with his bum. Maybe external parasites? DE could help if you see lice.

    Gender guesses please

    Yes she's a speckled Sussex :) and those are the same chicks pictured here as in my avatar at about two days old. She's been the best broody I hope she wants to sit again next year. I hope you guys are right. I'd love to keep both of them if they are both boys I won't be able to I don't have...

    Gender guesses please

    They are 5 1/2 weeks old. I'm pretty sure the dark one jersey giant / Orpington-EE mix is a Roo. Not sure at all about the whitish colored one Leghorn / Orpington-EE mix. Your guesses would be helpful thanks!

    Any guesses on pullets or Roos?

    The momma wont let me get real close to the babies so I had trouble getting face pics. Only two of her 12 eggs hatched they are 2 weeks old now. The dark one is a jersey giant / Orpington EE mix the yellow one is a white leghorn/ Orpington mix.

    Two broodies one nest.

    I'm just closing in on my first year of chicken keeping. About a week or so ago one of my hens went broody so last Wednesday I got her a dozen fertile eggs. All has been going well. One egg broke, I think because I let her stay in a nest box and the others join her to lay. Well yesterday another...
