    I realize this question has been asked hundreds of times, but the sticky thread didn't help. Why are

    O.K., so, recently I got 18 new ready to lay pullets from a reputable hatchery, one that we have gotten good pullets and chicks from for 7 years.

    SOLVED - Serama or other breed? - SOLVED

    Hi, I recently got a new hen who was sold as a Serama, but her colouring which is Gold Partridge (I believe), is not common in Seramas and she does not look too much like one. What other breed might she be? I thought Dutch but she does not have black legs. Please help.

    Could This be a Polish X?

    I have a batch of chicks that hatched about a month ago. The possibilities for their breeds were: Silkie, Sebright, Silkie/Sebright, Silkie/silkie/Sebright, Silkie/Brahma, Silkie/Wyandotte, or SIlkie/Polish. I am wondering if this chick could be a Silkie/Polish?
