This was a barnyard mix of some eggs we hatched from the yard. We had a Barred Rock Hen, then we had a couple roosters in the yard, one was an EE and one was an Ayam Cemani. My guess is its an Ayam / Barred Rock mix but ive never seen one. I also think its a hen lol but at 6 months old its...
Forgive my lack of knowledge :)
We have a black hen that was bought locally from someone who said she was a silkie / polish mix (she can legitimately fly so shes definitely mixed). I will have to add a photo of her tomorrow. It was her egg that hatched into this pretty chick. The Rooster...
We bought 2 hens from a breeder, they were still fertile from the breed matched roosters there. So we incubated a few eggs and hatched 3. All 3 are the same breed, I just dont know if they are Blue Cochin or Silver Laced Cochin. The first photo is probably the most try to color. They look...
So we are somewhat new to Chickens but chicken math has already taken over as we discover new cool breeds... So my flock has quickly become supersized, leaving my "coops" undersized. Long story short (I typed out the long story and decided to shorten it) we quickly have ended up with too many...
This one is about 4 months old. I believe it is an Araucana but im still confused on the Araucana/Americana/EE deal. Anyhow we need to cull our flock a bit and if this is a Roo he is going to be lucky enough to be rehomed where there are less neighbors.
Thoughts? It hasnt been handled too...

I am so new at this that my incubator isnt even out of the box yet. I recently bought a couple Cochin hens that were in with roosters of their breed at a breeder, she mentioned their eggs could still be fertile for 2-3 weeks so I figured I would find out. After doing a bunch of research I...
I got home late this evening with this rooster, please excuse his accommodations. I need to setup a small coop for him tomorrow, tonight he is in the penthouse suite. The person I bought him from breeds a few different breeds. She had him in with her Ayem Cemani and said that he too was a...
Just wanted to say a quick hello as my first post in here. I am new to all of this, have a small growing flock as I find new breeds that are cool. We started with 3 laying hens that were given to us. Then we ended up getting 12 chicks from Tractor Supply and I just bought a couple more hens...
