    TSC Blue Chick Breed?

    Tractor Supply Company had this for sale as a Dominique. It was the only blue chick they had. I knew it wasn't a Dominique but bought it mainly out of curiosity. I asked the clerk (who from past conversations I know keeps some chickens and has some knowledge) and she said the only blue birds she...

    Confirm sex on some ugly, ugly Silkies.

    My sister fancies herself an animal rescuer, and she 'rescued' what she was told were three Silkie hens give to give to me since she knew I wanted Silkies. It looks to me like all she did was add to my ever-growing pile of Silkie cocks, though. She doesn't know the age. She was told a few weeks...

    10 Mo. Old Silkie/Cochin X

    I think I know the answer, but since every single other Silkie and Silkie/Cochin X I got is undeniably male, I am grasping at straws with this one. I suck at photography, tried to get a good shot of stance/comb, tail feathers and neck feathers.

    Faverolles or EE?

    This is just for fun for whoever wants to guess, but one or two of these came from the hatchery as Salmon Faverolle, and one or two came from the hatchery as Easter Eggers. Anybody want to give their best guess which is which? They are about three months old. If you get the answer, you're...

    Breeder of rose combed Rhode Island Whites?

    I'm looking for a breeder (would consider a hatchery, even) that carries rose comb Rhode Island Whites. Even if they're sold out for this year, I'd like to know so I can get a jump on them next year. Any suggestions from anyone who can point me in the right general direction would be...

    Maran Cockerel?

    I had an abysmal hen-to-roo ratio so I'm not quite ready to give up on this one. All the other roosters are painfully obvious covered in purple and green big bright red comb and wattles already growing no doubt about it roosters. My two pullets have pretty much zero wattles, though. I'm pretty...

    Buff Orpingtons

    These came in an all-cockerel BBQ special, but my friend is hoping these are hens and not just late bloomers. Any thoughts?

    Mystery Bantams

    Posting for someone else, they bought these bantams from a mixed bin at a feed store. They asked me to ID them, but I only really deal with LF. Can anyone here help him out? He thinks they are about three months old. He has two of the roos that are nearly identical and one of the hens.

    Double Check My Grow-Out Guesses, Please! 1st-Dominiques.

    I have a grow-out pen of birds who are mostly around the 5 week mark. Kind of early to tell (especially with the EEs) but I have hunches on most and am pretty much positive on a few, just looking for others' thoughts. I bribed all of them with a watermelon rind covered in crumble, so forgive...

    Unidentified 'frypan special' bird.

    Most of the birds in my frypan special from Cackle Hatchery were easy to identify, but this one has me stumped. On first glance I thought he was one of the Barred Rocks, but he has a reddish face mask that makes me second guess. Any thoughts?
