What the heck would you consider his coloring to be? Rescued this pretty boy. He looks like one of my old lemon blue cuckoos. When the person who gave me him got him they said partridge as a chick. His sister is definitely partridge. I have another who I believe would be red pyle? Thoughts? Last...
I picked up her and a sibling for a pretty penny as chicks from a great local breeder. Her sibling was taken by a predator and I don’t have use for her and would rather someone who could make use or appreciate her have her. Unsure what to ask for her? Any input? She’s a splash sumatra who is a...
I’ve been trying to research how the genes of the chickens affected the egg color. I know you need brown and blue to to make olive egger etc etc but I’m confused slightly. So if I have a black mottled orpington roo and Easter eggers (she looks like an amerecauna lays blue eggs) and olive eggers...
Is this a blood ring? First batch all were alive and moving.Didn’t notice movement here at day 14 although had movement at day 5&7. and see the possible blood ring. Just looking for experienced hatchers to verify.
I know they’re notoriously hard to sex until laying or crowing. Any input on these guys ? I tried to notate what I thought they were. A lot have similar features so if I can see what you’re seeing to distinguish between cockerel and pullet for the rest of them and that will help tremendously...
I might have to rehome all of my chickens. Very hard to talk about. I’ve spent a lot of time money and effort on my babies. I’ve never had to rehome birds but was curious what I could get for them. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I have 5 rough looking RIR two years old laying.
I have...
I have three hatchery SLW. The one single comb I feel is obvious rooster. The other two I think one may be a rooster one a pullet. Any input? I got them end of February
I had 2 pullets now down to this one. The other of same age (it’s roughly 10.5-11 weeks) had more feathering around the face and neck. Wondering if this is a he or a she. It acts like a corralling dominance asserting roo 😅 some photos from today (ones with more feathers) some from a couple days ago
This chick has been acting off for a few weeks now. Always sleepy. Usually by it self. Has a slightly curved beak eats fine drinks fine. It’s eyes just look weird to me and the behavior is odd. I’ve treated for coccidia as precaution but still the same. No signs of respiratory.
I am fairly certain the large light brama is a cockerel. Big feet. Larger than the rest. Comb coming in. Has the black collar. The other two unsure. The one that kind of has a black collar I’m 50/50. The outlier I believe to be a pullet. Any thoughts? Also the other black and white guys in...
