Breed
When I got these they were completely yellow. Now they have competely feathered out and they are completely white. They have no spots anywhere. I was told they could be leghorns, but the lady was not sure. So, at 4 months old, can anyone tell what they are as far as breed goes.

I would like to see a pic of your lavender OEGB. I have 2 what I believe are OEGB and I am trying to figure out what color they are. Also, how old were your when they started to lay. Mine are about 5 months old and I would like to know when they will start. I have EE's that have been...
Thanks Everyone. I will update in a few weeks. I do not care either way. This chick is the only baby of my barred rock pair. They disappeared 4 weeks ago. This one is from the last egg she laid. It was a pullet egg, too. I am just glad to have one from the line. If it is a female that would be...
I have several different breeds (but not the Sussex) that all started to crow around 3 months. The mating attempts started around then as well. So if yours are 14 weeks, I would guess soon.
Wait, it was 14 weeks in April? Do you have any pictures?
I have an EE that has been laying for around a month now. We have been looking for normal sized eggs, hoping the pullet egg will come to an end soon. Well, twice last week and twice so far this week, we found slightly larger than normal eggs. When we cracked them open, they were double yolked...
I candle at 7, 14, and right before lockdown.
My first hatch I candled way too much, but had the most successful hatch.
My second hatch I have only 1 out of 10.
My third hatch is hatching right now. I started with 12 at day 14 I threw 1 out because of it not ever developing. I have 5...
I have a 4 month old that has red streaks in his poof. I also saw a bantam hen try to submit to him. He has no comb at all though. He is hatchery stock, though. He has had those streaks (they look like several feathers twisted together with gel) for over a month now. I have another silkie that...
So Betty is a pullet and has been laying eggs for a week or so. Her Friend Helen (also a pullet) disappeared about 4 nights ago. We had gotten eggs from both that day. Because, over 3 nights, we lost 6 chickens (including Helen and her mate Alpha) we cooped them up until we could catch the...
I know this is kinda strange, but do both genders of silkies have blue ears? I have 1 with blue ears and 1 without. I can not find a picture of a hen with blue ears, which is why I was wondering. My silkies are hatchery quality and they are about 2 weeks different in age. I noticed the older one...
Thank you all! I love him!!
We just hatched out some of his babies and we have more due in a week. I am super excited. The first ones go to my mother in law. She decided she wants his babies and would like to give us back our chickens as a trade. The next hatch is mine... I am sharing a few...
