Entry 417 is a cream legbar pullet.

So you think that #1 is also an EE/OE? The egg it came from was marked “100% CL”. I thought for sure it was a cream legbar. I attached a few more pictures of #1. The second pic is from a few weeks ago. Thank you for the input. I always learn so much when I post/read these threads. I am...

The lady I purchased the hatching eggs from has lavender ameracaunas, wellsummers, Barnevelders, and blue ameracaunas. These could all be mixes. Some of the eggs were labeled as 100% lavender ameracaunas, but I don’t know if that is a “real” breed. As I said, I was interested in adding more...

Entry #1 Young Turkey:

I have posted about some of the chicks before. I have been waiting until they are more developed to post any pictures to my favorite area of the forum. This group of chicks were hatched for a class project using local hatching eggs. The hatching eggs were selected for color, so some of them, I...

I have some on hand 😅

Thank you for the input. I am also enjoying the subtle he’s and she’s in this thread too. I already think this one is a boy, but am waiting until they are at least 7 weeks to feel more confident. I have a rooster curse, so that is mostly what I am basing it on 😢

I have a lidded food safe 5 gallon buckets x2. I installed 4 horizontal nipples on each. One is in the run and the other is in the coop. During the winter, I decommission the one in the run. The one in the coop has a bucket safe de-icer in it to keep it thawed. So far, this system works for me...

Would a Cochin mix have feathered legs? If it isn’t 100%, then it could be. The person I bought the hatching eggs from suggested it might be a Cinnamon Queen or ISA brown. Apparently her chicks are normally very pale and late to get any sort of color to the feathers. I have an adult ISA brown...

I thought I’d post an update photo. At one time, the chicks in the picture were about the same size. I think they are definitely bantams if you look at the size difference alone.

So this is a new breed to me that I didn’t even know existed. I just looked up pictures of this breed. I like the way they look and would be happy if that was what it was. Thank you for the reply.

Hello All. I purchased some hatching eggs for a friend to hatch in her classroom. I loaned her all my hatching gear and agreed to take the babies back when the class project was done. I have 8 babies total. Some are mixes and some are not. One of the babies has me wondering what the heck it is...
