    Feeding layers eggshells?

    Hi everyone, so I have two bluebells who are commercial layers (I regret buying them now as I believe they don’t have a long lifespan and usually die of reproductive issues) who lay an egg EVERYday, and I have been feeding them layers pellets. I always assumed that was enough food, however...

    Can you see saddle feathers

    Was looking at my 13 week old rooster, Ben, this morning and I realised I couldn’t actually see the pointy saddle feathers males have. Im fairly sure he is a roo, so maybe I just can’t see them? Was wondering what more experienced people thought.

    What chickens make up your flock?

    Hi everyone, I joined BYC a few months or so ago, and everybody has been really helpful when I was trying to find out the gender/breed of my chicks (I’m so impatient when it comes to that sort of thing 😆). However, I feel as though I didn’t get get to know people very well, so I decide to make...

    10 w/old rooster breed

    Hi everyone, I’m curious to know what you thinking about my 10-11 week old rooster breed. Doesn’t matter to me, I’m just bored 😂. I think he’s a mix, but I was wondering if anyone knows what breeds he might be crossed with. We got the fertile eggs from a friend, and I haven’t seen their hens but...

    Pullet or roo?

    Is this a roo? It is 6 weeks old, and up until recently I was sure he/she was a pullet, but I am starting to notice a slightly pink comb, so now not so sure. It’s behaviour is very hen-like. Any thoughts? (He/she is a mixed breed, with some light Sussex in him).

    Feathers falling out?

    Hi everyone, I have a question about my 9 week old BCM cross. Up until recently she had very pretty feathered legs, however, now it appears that some of them have fall out and they generally look ragged and duller. I will post two pictures, one of what her feathers looked like at 6 weeks, and...

    What colour is this chick and what will it look like?

    Hi everyone, I have a question about a 3 week old chick. He (I think its a he, but I’m still hoping) has unusual colouring, and I’ve been doing a bit of research but I haven’t been able to find a bird with this colouring at 3 weeks. 5 other chicks hatched out with him, and they are all light...

    Sussex chicken pictures please!

    Hi everyone, we recently got 6 light Sussex chicks. We’ve never had them before, but I think they are a beautiful breed. If anyone has or used to have light Sussexes (or Sussex chickens in general) i would love to see pictures of them, as I would love to know how they will look when they are...

    Are these light Sussexes?

    So we recently got 6 three week old chicks. We never saw the parents but according to the owner they were “Light Sussexes crosses with bantams. I thought this was strange- shouldn’t it be a certain type of bantam? Anyway, none of them are bantam sized other than chick no 6. Chick no 6 has...

    Does this chicken have a beard?

    This is coco, she’s seven weeks old and a mix with some copper marans in her. I recently had a picture of her on a thread, and someone commented that she may have a beard. I never noticed this myself, but I’m no chicken expert so I may have missed it. Anyway, I thought I’d post a clearer picture...

    7 week old (maran?) breed opinions

    We hatched out chicks earlier this year, one black copper maran and this one, who I think must be some sort of mix. I have two questions about her. 1. is she a blue copper maran? I thought so but I noticed she is very fluffy, is this normal? And 2, will the feathers on her feet grow any more...

    3 week old chick breed

    We recently got some chicks who are “Light sussexes crosses with bantams (not sure what kind of bantam!)” All of them look like light Sussex chick except this one. He is much smaller than the rest of the chicks, has very lightly feathered legs and a very bushy, fluffy sort of tail. I think the...
