As far as my attitude, there's no point in getting uppity about it. What's done is done. Getting upset is a waste of time and energy, not to mention unpleasant for everyone. I can only move forward, and I appreciate the help. I'm a hobby breeder, not interested in showing, but I do want to be as...

She told me that they were 2nd and 3rd generation imports from England and sold me the quad for $100. I'll straight up admit it's my fault for not doing my homework more thoroughly beforehand, but I still feel let down. The girls do lay a pretty blue egg, and I think that they are close to, if...

Yeah, I'm ready to kill someone... This is my first group of these birds. I bought the 4 of them from a local lady, who took total advantage. I've since been on the lookout for true CCL's. The girls look like they're supposed to (I think.) The rooster actually does have a crest, but he's not...

Crested Cream Legbar hatching eggs available now. Hardy, beautiful birds that autosex at hatching, so no guessing of gender! $50 dozen plus shipping. Within USA only.

I got a couple of ducklings a few weeks ago at TSC, and one of them was solid jet black. Now, at nearly a month old, s/he is feathering in brown. When s/he was tiny, I thought s/he might be a Cayuga because of the bright, shiny solid black color, but now with the brown coming in, I have no idea...

Thanks, everyone! Yes, I'm leaning towards Cayuga on the black one because she doesn't stand up tall like a runner would...she's kind of squatty! lol I looked up Welsh harlequin ducklings and they sure do look like my baby! Looking forward to seeing them grow up (although at the same time, I...

Hi All, Just picked up these two little cuties at TSC and have no clue what they are! The black one looks much darker than my khaki was at the same age, and I am at a complete loss on the other little one. [/IMG][/IMG]

I have noticed something very odd this spring. Last October, neighbor's dogs nearly wiped out my entire flock. I came home from work to a nightmare...carnage everywhere and out of almost 50 chickens, I only have 6 hens and a couple of roosters left. This spring, I've been hatching (or trying to...

This is my little pair. They are the sole survivors of a neighborhood dog attack last October....prior to that, I had 6. Now, I am trying to rebuild my flock from these 2, since they're scarce as hen's teeth (pun intended) around here. Little girl just started laying recently. I've got 2 of her...

I got her from TSC, so she definitely came from a big commercial hatchery somewhere. No clue which one, as the current employees at my local TSC are worthless. Cheers, Katja

Ah, gotcha! Kind of a raptor look. Is that the "grumpy" look she's got going on here? LOL

Bumpercarr, can you please explain beetle brow? Thanks! Cheers, Katja

She's got a single comb. I think what is throwing everyone off is that she is such a whacko color....it doesn't match ANY SOP for any breed! LOL She's special. I also got a PINK-skinned Silkie without a topknot from the same batch of TSC bantams. Whichever hatchery they got their chicks from...

Well, over on the Cochin thread, the Cochin people told me she's definitely not a Cochin! LOL Also, I have 2 mottled cochin chicks, and they look VERY different than this baby. God only knows what this one is, bless her heart. No matter what thread I post on, people tell me she's not that...

Hi All, Hope I can join in here! I recently had a Moment Of Weakness at TSC and somehow 6 little bantam chicks hitched a ride home with me. Chicken Math. Whatever. Anyway, I've pretty much figured out what they all are, and it seems I've got a little Brahma. This little fuzzball is the...

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything, Michael! I am learning a lot. I have had chickens for a little over 2 years now, and I am used to my Marans, Ameraucanas and Polish but these new little bantam chicks I got on a whim have stolen my heart and I'm really enjoying...

Wow, yes, that does look a lot like my baby! Thanks! I do have another question about cochins. Do they feather in slowly? My little mottled cochin baby girl only has about half the feathers that her flock-mates have (they are all about 3 weeks old) and the little boy has even fewer than she...

Dark Brahma, really? wow. I hadn't thought of that....prob because so many people told me Cochin, and he/she is such a round, fat little thing! That is a single comb, though, but I didn't think anything about it because the (definitely) mottled Cochin chicks I have also have a single comb. So...

Hi Everyone, I hope it's ok that I pop in here with this question! I originally posted on the "What breed is this" forum and never got a clear answer, so I'm hoping someone with cochin-specific experience will chime in here. I got several chicks out of the "assorted mixed bantam" bin at TSC a...

Ok, here's what my kids looked like at a few days old. I thought it looked like they had the makings of a beard, and OMG those cheeks... and this is what they look like today, at 5 weeks. I don't see anything like a beard. Should I be worried?
