It remains very difficult to take a good picture of this chick. I'm reasonably certain he's a boy now, though. The comb is darkening a lot, and he's acting bossier. I am still uncertain if that messy pattern on him will turn into barring or not. Some of his feathers have red tips, some have...

He is quite handsome!! and thank you! 😄 :wee

Hey y'all, I'm from eastern WV! here's a chicken picture tax

Yep! So I did go ahead and get the wing pictures (I got one for every unusual chick I specifically believe to be from the barred hens (three, including the oldest one). The thing is there are some black, white, and blue chicks but most of them seem to be Brahma mixes of some kind. The few that...

I have another update, sooner than I'd thought. Attached are pictures of two of the chicks, a known Brahma cross chick and one I know for a fact came out of a cuckoo barred hen. The thing is, the two 3 week old chicks that came from the cuckoo barred hens (which I'm no longer sure are marans...

I'll b following your thread to see how they come out for sure! I've never seen an egg that color personally, they're quite pretty 😄

I'd also assume black copper Marans went into it, but I'm still learning and new to all these things (and the one bird I had that might've laid green eggs turned out to be a rooster so now I've got to wait for his daughters and hope he passes it down 😭 ). Anyway it'd be super cool to see the...

First time letting the ducklings outside n of course Goose (my cuddliest rooster) had to b involved. He let them crawl all over him n it was adorable but also they're already so big and it's only been -- what, two weeks I think? edit: No, it's just been roughly over a week. Anyway I haven't had...

Actually I did end up going back and getting a picture of one of the darker chipmunks + the other cuckoo hen daughter (For her, it's size that makes me suspect her, since all of their chicks seem to get bigger faster) and somewhat color as well as not having any feathered feet and a single comb...

So! @NatJ It is update time! the first one up there is a Brahma chick I think, second one came from our cuckoo barred hen and I am almost certain her father was the blue (or Khaki! because I did go and research a bit and he looks like he is actually Khaki. I had edited that post but I'm not...

Oh they're all adorable!! Thank you for sharing, I especially love when they've just fluffed out! They look so silly when they're still all damp. What breed are they? 😍

Thank you! Here they're all having a dust bath, it's one of my favorite things to watch honestly

I didn't know that hens could produce mostly one or the other, that's super cool actually! I have a sneaking suspicion so far at least, that Matilda (one of my cuckoo girls) may give me more hens than roos though, if that is the case. None of her chicks, since they're not barred, can be boys...

So I've been playing around in the calculator again, the cross-breeding one, (And I do quickly fall out of my depth of understanding and just put in random things😅) but I did get it to generate chicks that are varieties of colors (Though I do not think any of my birds are chocolate and I do not...
