I hatched this baby Feb 1 from some ordered eggs. It was an OE order but the person tossed in some extras. I know this is porcelain in color but any ideas yet on gender? And is it a turken or silkie cross? Sweet personality even though I’m not a fan of naked neck, this one got my attention.
I’m not sure on exact age but thinking five months. The person I got them from said his started laying, these have not. The splash is really changing in the last week… we are hearing a noise every evening and then all go to the pen. Is the splash a cockerel!? Those wattles are growing like crazy...
Our rooster is constantly sneezing but I see no drainage and he’s eating well. I have some doxycycline powder but how do I give it to just him? I want to keep him separated and dose him since none of the hens showing any symptoms. Does anyone know the dosage and for how long?
This one has confused me since day one! Bought as pullet but it seems to get redder in face, wattles growing larger compared to his/her sister who has no pink in her comb. His comb has been red for a while actually .They are about 14 weeks I believe.
I have 5 silkie eggs under two Cochin mixes. Today is day 24. Nothing seems to be happening. We started with 9 and 4 exploded/broke. They are both so dedicated but have been sitting broody for 30+ days now. Do I take the eggs and assume they aren’t good? Just seems like a long time for silkies...
We have three jubilee, hatch date around March 24. I just noticed today this one has wattles and others don’t. Isn’t this young for a pullet to have wattles?
This is one of my 8 week old jubilees. It’s so much bigger than the other two and has huge legs and feet with black spots. It just looks “Roo” to me and they were all suppose to be pullet.
I’ve posted these chicks before bc I wasn’t sure of breed, and now I think someone is crowing. We want a rooster but I think two may be roosters. Facebook groups say both hens, but idk….what’s your guess?
10 weeks old, red combs since 4 weeks.
I know these are silkies and only 4 weeks, but why is the darker one so much smaller and less feathered than the others? It’s like 1/3 the size of my others.
I think some felt this was a pullet at 6 weeks. It’s 8 weeks old and has had red comb and wattles a few weeks. I don’t think it’s a meat bird bc it is not growing that quickly. Maybe Leghorn?
I believe I posted this chick before but things are looking different. It was suppose to be a True Whiting Green but it is all white with yellow legs and the comb and wattles looking more red than the other chicks.
This was another of my surprises in a hatchery order from McMurray. A few weeks they responded to my question and guessed she/he could be a silver Phoenix. From images I’ve seen this color pattern/feather pattern isn’t matching a silver Phoenix. Any guesses?
This is one of 25 Whiting Green pullets we ordered but I doubt this is a WG. It is solid white with yellow legs. I noticed today the comb and wattles looks pinkish. Its tail feathers are already looking a bit different than the others, too. Any guesses.?
I received an order of 25 true green whiting and I’m pretty sure this isn’t one. Any ideas? No feathered feet and yellow legs. I also received an Andalusian and Black Star in this order unexpectedly. 😍
This little one was hatched Feb 6. Sure seems like getting a pink comb quickly, Any ideas? I know it’s young but that comb stood out to me today in the sunshine 😂
We ordered a box of 25 true whiting green and 3 wynadotte. The are two extras in the box which look different that the others . Any ideas? One seems black and other is more blue gray with some dark feathering. Black or slate legs and toes and beak.
We let our silkie Cochin sit on 6 eggs. Two hatched in last 36 hrs. I’m not seeing much when I candle the others except this one. She is up running around with her new babies and seems to have no interest in sitting on the remaining ones. Is this a dud? This is approx day 21.
I have these two sweeties who are silkie Cochin mixes, and think they may be pullets since I’ve heard no crowing. They are about 16 weeks. Any thoughts?
Someone gave a light Brahma pullet but not sure age. She looks nothing like our 6 mth old light Brahma as far as coloring.
I noticed this chick has a lot of yellow on her feathers so not sure if dirty or a roo or not even a Brahma. 🤷♀️ Any ideas about the yellow or sex or age?
