Thanks Michael. I don't think she's a black jersey giant, I'm in Australia and I don't think we even have them here. What colour feet should a black orpington have? Do you mean both Australorp and Orpington have the same colour on the bottom of their feet?

Thank you. I was thinking silver laced wyandotte as well. What does X2 mean?

Hi All My partner bought home some eggs from a poultry auction. We think one may be a black orpington (in the first picture) but no idea what the other one is. Any ideas? And gender if anyone can tell at this young age (about a month) . Thanks

Thanks guys, I'm not fussed about what breed they are, just hope I don't get any more roosters!

Number 1 & 3 are ameraucana, although down here in Australia we don't seem to bother with true distinctions yet and just call them all araucana, which I know they aren't, maybe we need to call them 'aussicanas' hahaha. I have 2 ameraucana roosters, one white and one black and brown and 2 blue...

Hi. I found one of my chicks with one of its legs bent sideways the other morning. She had been fine up to this point at 4 weeks old. I did loose a turkey poult the other day when it jumped on top of my waterer and got his leg stuck in the handle (I found him still stuck there). I had been...

I asked about these guys a few weeks ago, any easier to tell now? The two bigger ones are 8 weeks old and the smaller one is 5 weeks old.

Thank you

As the post says, wondering if these 2 are roosters. I'm pretty sure they are because they've started 'standing up' to each other like roosters do but am still holding out hope they are not because I will be keeping them no matter what! I have no idea what breed they are as they are...

These girls (I always call them girls in the hope that they are) are 4 weeks old. The first pictures are showing a chick of unspecified breeding, her mum is an isa brown and her dad is a white americana or black americana. The second is an americana from a lavender mum with what is probably a...

Hi all - yesterday the kids came in yelling and screaming that the roosters were fighting. They often have a little scrap, but this one went too far. One of my roosters got injured around the head, particularly his eyes. 24 hours later and he still has his eyes shut. His comb is a bit...

Ok, risking making things even worse I did the float test and candled them. They are all very dark inside with a small air sack about 5mm deep. Just a small part floated above the water (probably 10%), they pointed directly down but there was no movement when in the water. I'll leave them...

No, I didn't candle because I never had before. I will next time. Thanks you.

Hi - This is my second attempt at incubating and the first time around I had great success. 10 out of 12 hatched. However, this time put 6 eggs in and only 1 has hatched on day 21. It came out perfectly and quickly. I left the hatched one in for 2 days so I didn't have to open the incubator...

I just keep removing mine whenever I see them on the nest. Works after about a week or so. Watch out for pecking and growling!

I'm in country Australia and we have a lot of hawks around at the moment that are eating mice in the just finished crops. I came home the other day to find my barnavelder looking exactly like the picture you posted. A neighbour said he had seen a hawk hanging around in the tree above the coop...

Thanks Fred. You confirmed what I thought. I'm pretty new to all this, so would like to learn as much as I can. And yes she is healthy and happy and gorgeous. She is laying but I don't even care about that, my chooks are my pets just like my dog and he lays no eggs at all!

Anyone?

She is very sweet, I thought she was younger than she obviously is as she laid an egg today!
