    Neighborhood chicken genetics

    This dude (and a few others) live nearby in my neighborhood, and I see them every day on my way to work and finally got a picture! I know some people on here really know their stuff when it comes to chicken breeds and colors so if anyone knows what his deal is, let me know!

    Comb curiousity

    Our two olive egger/whatever they are chicks are now hens and laying eggs, and are finally old enough that they can be told apart by their combs. I’m curious as to which comb type they have, because they don’t like exactly like the ones on the comb type charts, so I figured I would ask on here...

    Genetic predictions?

    I’ve gone down a rabbit hole reading about chicken genetics and still am confused as to if there is any degree of predictability as to how chicks from a particular pairing could look. I know there are some people who really know their stuff when it comes to genetics on here, so I figured I would...

    Are these standard mites or?

    hello all, Just found some feathers on the ground from one of our pullets and when I picked them up and was looking at them I noticed that they have a lot of these tiny white (or maybe light brown, hard to say with the black feathers) bugs on them. Initially just looked like dust but then I...

    What color is this chicken?

    When she was a tiny chick she was a mix of brown and yellow. Now she’s 11 weeks old and has a mix of brown and sort of orange feathers (how orange depends on the lighting). She’s an Easter Egger. I’m just curious what chicken people call a chicken with this color/pattern.

    Little rooster needs the talk

    Hi all! I suspect what I’m witnessing is totally normal, but why not ask? One of our hens hatched four chicks ten weeks ago, and for the most part all is well, and i ended up with three pullets and a cockerel, Brian. I’ve witnessed a little bit of feather plucking/mild bullying from him...

    One chick getting bullied

    Hi all! We have 7 chickens in total, four of which are chicks that have been free with the big chickens since they were eggs. It seems that our chicks have decided to start establishing their pecking order (they’re 9 weeks old now). I’ve seen them facing off to each other a few times, but then...

    Trying to guess gender

    Hello! I have four chicks that I hatched from eggs that should all be some sort of mix of Easter egger and true blue whiting, and am trying to guess gender at 7 weeks even though it seems like a fool’s errand. The eggs we got were clearly from a couple different hens, but the white chick and the...

    Nest box too small?

    hello! I’m currently in the process of building a new coop, and I think I may have made the nesting boxes a little too small, so curious to hear from more experienced folks. The nesting box setup is one long box that will have partitions separating it into 3 12” long boxes. The entrance into the...

    Anyone interested in helping me identify a chicken?

    Hello! My wife and I adopted chickens from a coworker who was moving a few months back, and when we did so we took his word for it that they were the breeds he said they were. I can pretty well confirm that we have a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Plymouth Rock, but our third hen has become...
