    Are these both hens?

    Appreciate the answers guys! I was wondering about the pale legs since I've only seen leghorn with yellow legs. Any ideas what she could be mixed with? It's not important since we have no roosters and she won't be bred, just curious. And y'all this is seriously the sweetest hen I've EVER had...

    Are these both hens?

    Hi. We rescued these 2 from an abuse case. We were told by the rescuers they were both pullets but I just want to make sure since I've never been very good at telling! Thank You! Also breeds, I'm assuming leghorn and naked neck? (Also they're only in this small run til quarantine is over then...

    Do you prefer barred rocks or dominiques?

    I'm looking at getting a couple new hens and was interested in these birds. Can someone tell me the differences between the two? Not looks wise, but personality wise? Our chickens are pets first and foremost so we're looking for friendly and less flighty. Thank you!

    Beginner turkey questions, are these toms or hens?

    Thank you. After reading a little more I realized the correct term was "variety" not breed. Can you tell me how I could tell the toms from the hens in the photo? I was looking for the snood but none seem very long?

    Beginner turkey questions, are these toms or hens?

    Hello. I was recently considering adding some turkeys to my free range flock. Someone posted these turkeys for sale, but I am not well versed enough to tell male and female. And what breeds are they? Also the turkeys I get I would like to be as pets, so what are the friendliest breeds to get? I...

    Are these chicks Polish? What color will they end up as adults?

    Gi. These were all in the Polish bin at TSC. Im not great with identifying breeds. I can tell some of them are but what could the others be? Or are they polish too? What will they look like as adults based on their color now? Thank you!

    My chickens won't sleep in the coop

    I've noticed my chickens never sleep in the coop. Should I make them? Or just let them sleep where they want? They are free ranging in my backyard. I just let them go wherever they want. They go Into the coops during the day but at night they always sleep on my back steps or under a table.

    Introducing new hens to my flock

    Hi y'all. I currently have 6 pullets. 5 silkies and 1 Cochin. I just got 3 new older hens. A sapphire, a naked neck, and an unknown smaller hen (any suggestions on her breed welcome!) So I have 2 separate yards and an extra little coop. It's really small but it's the only extra thing I have to...

    What breeds can I add with my silkies?

    Thanks yall! I found this ad online. Do you know what breeds they may be and does it look like they're all hens? It says hens in the post but I'm not good at telling. Do you think they'd be okay to try with my silkies?

    What breeds can I add with my silkies?

    Hi y'all. I have 5 silkie pullets and 1 Cochin. I'm noticing silkies aren't the best layers haha. So I'm looking to add 2 more hens, and maybe rehome a couple, or trade, ect. When looking, should I only look for bantams? Or can I add 2 full sized hens? That's all I'm seeming to find here.

    Would it be a bad idea to add one duck to my chicken flock?

    Someone is asking If I will take their duck, saying they'll just release it in the lake. Its a 3-4 month old pekin. But it would be the only one. I don't know if ducks can be happy as the only duck? I have 6 bantam pullets. 5 silkies and 1 Cochin. Do they eat the same things? I don't even have a...
