    If I cross these roos with these hens what will I get?

Im just trying to make some educated guesses so I can make some pairings that will produce some...

    Could this be a Rosecomb?

    My mystery bantam chick is a little older now and definitely has a rose comb so not an EE. Is it a Rosecomb? It started out all black with some brown only around the eyes. Now(4.5 weeks) has gold coming in on its wings, chest and neck area, and some head feathers now have white dots on them...

    Gender of Mille Fleur D'uccles-4 weeks

    I saw on here that this breed is easiest to tell who's who by the comb at 3-4 weeks, so I've waited until now try and guess what I have. I'm thinking 2 roos and 3 pullets? The #1roo I feel pretty certain about, there's a definite difference between him and the others. #2 I'm not sure about. It'd...

    EE or Olive Egger bantam?

    I've been puzzling over this bantam chick for a week now and finally decided it must be an EE. Then I saw some olive egger chicks while I was looking at EE colors and a few of those looked just like this little chick. So now I'm curious as to if there is a way to differentiate between the two...

    Barred Rock-9 weeks old

    Hi! I need some opinions on this barred rock I've got! It's 9 weeks old now so I'm hoping that's old enough to get a for sure on it's sex. It was supposed to be a pullet but as it grew it looked more like the roo-which is the same age-so I posted here and asked what everyone else thought. The...

    Supposed to be pullets, but...

    Hi! Okay, I bought some chicks and some I bought as pullets, but I know its not 100% so there's always that chance. I've got 4 that are in question and if anyone could tell either way it would be great! They're just past 5 weeks old now and this past week a couple of them are getting obvious...

    Hi all! I've got a black star who's decided to be broody and I noticed one of the eggs she's sitting on is huge! I candled it and it has 2 yolks. Is it possible for both yolks to grow chicks? I can't tell if they're fertilized yet. Has anyone ever had 2 chicks come from 1 egg? Here's a pic...The...

    Indian corn OK for chickens?

    I was wondering if chickens can eat cracked indian corn? I planted some this year and got to wondering if it would be OK to give some to my chickens? If they CAN eat it I'd like to go ahead and plant some extra for them. They already get regular field corn but I thought it'd be a great use for...

    Is incubation time for eggs the same when they're under a broody hen as when they're in an incubator

    Hello! I've got two broody bantams that have been on the nest for about 3 weeks+- now. Will their eggs hatch soon or does it take longer for eggs under a hen to hatch? Also, is it okay for me to check them and see if there's actually any chicks in the eggs and take out any that aren't fitting...

    I've got two broody dutch bantam hens sitting on two clutches of eggs and along with their own eggs, they're also sitting on some eggs from the standard size chickens (EE's and black stars). The only rooster I've got is a Dutch bantam so he's obviously been breeding with the larger females as...

    Mottled Houdan/Ancona Cross?

    Hi! I've got another houdan question! If my little houdan ends up being a roo, would a cross between him and an ancona hen give me some chicks that resemble the houdans?
