Trying one more time to determine the breed. I'm starting to think it's a Jersey Giant. Her legs are black and the bottom of her feet are yellow. She also has roundish eyes. She has always been very bold and inquisitive but not aggressive. She is so much tinier than the others that came in...
My hatchery cuckoo marans layed her first egg today!! It is not as dark as a proper cuckoo marans but it is darker than my RIR eggs and I'm a very proud chickie mama!!

I got this in a McMurrays rainbox mix. She's 21 weeks. I posted pictures of her at 12 weeks and it was suggested by one poster that she was a bantam EE. I thought I would give it another try. Any ideas out there on what breed she might be? She is quite a bit smaller than the other pullets...
I thought this was an australorp but the earlobes look white to almost blue - ish. Any opinions on breed? She's from a McMurrays rainbox mix and about 21 weeks old.
Someone on this forum has a picture of a snow chicken. I'm looking to see if anyone remembers who it is or if they have one of their own. I would love to see the picture again so I can try to recreate it with our new fallen snow.
I made a dust bath in my coop two weeks ago. It's play sand and diatomaceous earth mixed together in a plastic container but they won't use it. They occasionally eat it!! Should I add top soil or some other type of soil? They continue to try to dust bathe in their outside run but it's been...
One of my RIRs layed her first egg last Sunday, Dec 5th and hasn't produced another one yet. Is this normal for that breed? She's about 7 months old. I'm not exactly sure. Last week was very cold, 20's and 30's during the day and teens and low 20's at night. She's been squawking like she's...
I got two of these in a rainbow layer mix. They are 12 weeks old and much smaller than the other birds in the mix. They are also really fiesty. I recently moved the cage from my garage to the big girl coop, and this little one tries to escape and run with the big girls every time I open the...
I got this in a McMurray rainbow layer mix. It's nine weeks old now. It was being picked on and had a bare spot on it's back so I moved it into another cage with a tiny chicken of the same breed that was also picked on. Now I'm beginning to think it might be a roo. Why would a roo be picked...
I have several of these from a rainbow layer mix. Some have slate legs, some have yellow. Some have a couple of white feathers and some are all black. What do you think?
this one is all red. Not particularly a dark brown color. I have others with some white on the head and face and a little red in the wings. I assume those are sex links. These all came in a rainbow layer mix.
I got a rainbow layer mix from McMurray's. They are seven weeks old now. I think I have white and brown leghorns, red and black sex links, one RI, 2 easter eggers, BYC Home | Learning Center | Breeds | Coop Designs |BYC Store| Member Pages | Forum FAQ's
