    New hen type for me

    I bought these guys at tractor supply. Not sure if they are pure breeds. I doubt it, but anybody out there know what kind of hen I have here? The other one, the rooster was a spiting image of a cream leg bar female chick, had the Chipmunk look, I guess it was not pure breed because that's...

    Lets play that age old game "GUESS THAT BREED ! "

    We always read new chicken owners rush to guess what breeds they have. We were all there, as was I. Over the years it's been fun to see us all guess, even when we all know too well that those chicks are usually too young to sex and too mixed to guess, but that's part of the fun . So let's start...

    What's this growth ?

    Hello BYC community ! Hope we had a good festive week . I was looking at my youngest group of hens; my blue eggers and I noticed my only Cream Leg Bar hen had a growth on her beak. I would like community opinion on what it might be and should I treat at home or take to a vet ? Thanks :thumbsup .

    " Aliens in back-yard " reports out of Nevada got me thinking ...

    I wasn't sure if I should post this here or under games and fun. But with these reports from Nevada, one being from an LVMPD officer, it got me thinking about how would a flock react to an 8 to 10 foot alien in the backyard. We know some dogs would react aggressively and the excessive...

    Looking into ordering female chicks from hatchery; need advice

    Hello, :D I'm looking into buying young female hens from a hatchery. I've incubated successfully 3 times before. But it is really difficult to re-home the roosters. I am not zoned for them. I freaking like how cool the barn-yard mix ones look. Always unique creatures, no two are ever alike...

    5 chicks at 6 weeks. Who wants to guess at what we have ?

    These five hatched April 7th . They grow fast. They spent about a month under the heat lamp and out the door they went. I like the coloring and pattern they have, hope they keep some of that as they get bigger. Wondering what they are.

    5 new chicks to join the backyard crew

    I know its always hard to tell the breed of sex of a new baby chick. But its always fun to take some bets and see who gets it right ! These guys began to peck out of the shell on the 6th and were running around the incubator on the 7th. So 5 day old chicks. My second time doing this. I see...
