I let my chickens out this morning and noticed right away that there was what looked like mucous and poop stuck to the bottom of one of my hens. I picked her up and noticed a long shell like piece hanging out of her. I pinched the end of it and the bottom broke. It is hollow. I grabbed gently...
I bought chicks from a friend in April. She said this chicken, and two others that I bought, were hatched from blue eggs and were Crested cream legbars. Two of them did, in fact, turn out to be clearly cclb. This hen, Francine, tho is throwing me. She looked identical in pattern as a chick to...
I got 4 chicks at 1 week old April 11th, 2 cream legbar, 2 cream legbar/black copper maran mix. Both maran mixes and 1 of the legbars started laying weeks ago. But one either has not, or she has a nest somewhere while she is free ranging.
What are the chances she is still not laying? Or should...
She is a mix of a black copper maran and a crested cream legbar. (I have two like this.) I know they should be olive or green, but I’m curious if anyone has this mix and what color green they’ll be? And if they are speckled green? She should start laying in a month or two, so at this point I’m...
I got these two from a bin labeled Blue Rock. But then one grew up to be completed black, with green metallic feathers. Not very Blue Rock of her. 😂
Do you think Black Betty is an Australorp? And do you think Snowy(the silver one) is a Blue Rock or a Blue Australorp?
She was a chipmunk looking tiny chick. I bought her along with some cclb. But, there were a mix of breeds in the box I grabbed from. The older she gets, the less she looks like a cclb. (No crest and more brown/reddish coloring.)

This girl(?) is 4 weeks old. I bought her with 2 other crested cream legbar. They other cclb chicks have much creamier feathers, and clear crests. This one, however, is is more red, and no crest. She had a very chipmunk pattern as a chick tho.
Any guesses on whether she is actually a cclb, and...
I purchased 5 chicks from a friend. I am fairly certain that 3 of them are CLB(2 pullets and 1 cockerel if I had to guess). However, the black chicks she said could be BCM, Ameraucana, or Olive Egger. Would anyone like to weigh in on what they think these two are? And just for fun, do you have a...
