    Anyone know what breeds these are? Thanks!

    I can't see the head from the photo so couldn't tell if he had a beard (or crest for that matter).

    Anyone know what breeds these are? Thanks!

    #1 looks like an Olive Egger. #2 could be a Belgian d'Uccle. I had to image search that one. #3 is hard to tell but I'm getting possible Silkie mix #4 looks like another silkie mix #5 looks like a cochin. I've never seen one with that coloring before. All of these appear to be mixes so I may...

    French blue copper maran?

    Hmmm. Maybe she's a Brahma?.. Edited to add: I double checked and Hoovers does have light brahmas.

    Needing help deciding

    Haha naked necks freak me out too. I'd always recommend Easter Eggers. They're usually on the smaller side, are good layers, and they come in all different colors. Their eggs are usually blueish so that's a fun bonus. Note that they're not pure bred but mixes. Which is why I say "usually." I...

    Semi-broody??

    I have a hen like this. I think she just likes her alone time away from the flock. She lays regularly and no issues. She's not broody and will roost every night and forage with the rest of them but enjoys a couple hours of "me time" in the nest box. I don't really blame her... 😂

    Plywood brooding box (help)

    Another positive in having "windows" in the side is that baby chicks tend to be scared when we reach down from above. Think predator evasion instincts (hawks). Having a side window will allow you to interact with them more on their level. Chicks are VERY messy so consider adding hooks to the...

    Technically I did double the size of my coop.... I put the open aired coop on the other side with plenty of roost bars! Yeah, I think I'll just let the pullets be teenagers and hope they don't break any eggs. I did decide to add nest boxes where the arrow is... 3 of them. So 5 nest boxes in...

    Shiny Feathers

    If the hackle feathers are shiny AND pointy, that would be male specific. Saddle feathers on males will also be pointy and shiny but usually comes in when they're a little older.
