    Bantam Black Star??

    I bought a group of assorted young hens (some 3+ months old and some a year or so old). One of them was a little black hen which I assumed was a black star pullet. When I got them home I was surprised that she was already laying. Then I took a better look at her and noticed that her legs we...

    Leghorn Pullets and/or Roosters

    Hey all, I bought 5 leghorn "pullets" from a guy on craigslist to replace some hens that got eaten by a neighbors dog :-( They are 3-4 months old. 2 of them have big ol' floppy combs and 3 have very small combs that are just coming in. Is it a sure thing that the big floppy combs are roosters...

    Mystery Hen (dum, dum, DUM!)

    Bad news: a dog got 5 of my best layers. Good news: I used this as an opportunity to get rid of a bunch of old, barely producing hens and to renew my flock with some young pullets and young hens. One of the hens I got is pretty and lays a very dark brown egg. Any idea what this breed is?

    Afraid I did a dumb thing...

    So, I just bought 21 Red Star pullets plus a nice looking young Buff Orpington rooster and pullet from a guy who is moving and selling off all of his poultry, and other animals. I thought this was a great deal (at $2 a pullet) as I was looking to start replacing my current flock of layers...

    Hey Turkey people! I am considering buying a Narragansett Tom from a guy I met who is moving away and selling all his animals. I was over there looking at his chickens but was just so impressed with how awesome this Turkey was. I looks around the forums for awhile and it seems that lots of...

    I was told this rooster was a silkie

    I don't really know anything about breeds, but he doesn't look like a silkie to me from what I have seen looking around online. He appears to have hard feathers. He has feathered legs. He sure is funny! What do y'all think?

    Concerned about bare patches

    Hey, there Backyard Chicken folks, I am new to the world of chickens, but loving them so far. My wife and I recently inherited a flock of laying chickens when we bought our home. There are several of the 17 birds that have had red irritated bare patches around their vents or on their...
