Big John (don't ask) is almost 3 months old. His face is white but he has black feet. I don't think he is pure bred. If you can help with gender too that'd be great. Thanks in advance!
So I posted him on here when he was younger before he grew into himself and it was still hard to tell. So I'm posting him again to see if you can tell his breed. Definitely mixed. He has a beard and feathered feet. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Is it normal for a roo to start that early? Hatched March 9th. He tried for the first time this morning. It was actually quite hilarious, he sounded like a broken party favor. He started at 6 am and did it about 5 times within 30 minutes and then hasn't done it since. I am VERY sure he will get...
I have a little 7.5 week rooster fighting with all of the little ladies that are his age. Is he just finding his spot in the pecking order? He doesn't even bother the laying hens because he knows he will be put in his place. All of the young ladies don't picker with each other just him and it's...
Long story short I ended up purchasing eggs from numerous sources and once they hatched I definitely lost track of the breeds. I have a few other posts of some of the chicks that are featured here but I figured I would just make one large one. Please help with the breeds!
Roo, has feathered...
So I hatched Little Fuzz Butt from assorted funky eggs. I have never had one before so I don't know the difference. Help on gender would be cool! 7 1/2 weeks old.
Hello all!
I hatched this bizarre little roo. He is a mixture of just two birds (purebred) but I forgot what the breeder said. He had a been of all purebred that he collects the hatching eggs from. Can't find the guys number so I figured I'd turn to you guys! He has feather feet. He is also 7...
Hey All!
I saw a newspaper called Poultry Press and I wanted to know if it was a good newspaper to subscribe to. I already get Backyard Poultry and I love it!
Thanks!
So quick back story.
I was planning on getting shipped and local eggs to try and hatch. I just got a new circulated air styro incubator so I wanted to test it out and make sure it was stabilized before I put the "expensive" eggs in. I get my eggs from this Mennonite family that has a honor...
Hello All!
I was reading a lot on how certain breeds have more of a tendency to go broody than others and I wanted your input. I was wondering out of my hens which ones where more likely based on their breed to go broody.
Australorp mix?
Wyandotte something else mix?
White chicken...
I just love the way my eggs came out this year. They are so cute in the little circle egg cartons that I had to share them. My small customer base loves getting their free six packs when the holidays roll around. Plus the little circles remind me of ornaments!
Ps. In case anyone was...
I am nowhere near sure of the breed but would you say she has possible Erminette coloring or just a white breed mixed with a black one? Lol so lost at this little girl...slow developer too. Any help greatly appreciated!
Hello all!
So I posted my hen on here awhile ago when she was still young to see what breed you thought she was. I am well aware she isn't a pure breed lol. I was hoping you can take a look and give it a whirl. I also know she is a hen because I was gifted my first egg last night! Thoughts and...
Hello All!
So I recently bought two bantam Easter Eggers. There is one that I am pretty convinced is a pullet (Chirp). The other one I am not so certain (Chip). They are about 3-3 1/2 months old. Chip is much larger and a lot more protective over Chirp. If another hen goes near Chirp she gets...
Hello All!
So begins my chicken owner conquest! I found a man in my area that was selling reasonably cheap 2 1/2-3 month old birds. The catch is this man was more of an experimental mutt creator. He buys some hatching eggs, some are given to him, and some are taken fertilized from his flock. I...
