    Is this an Ameraucana?

    A friend of ours gave us this young hen, she's about 4 months old and hasn't started laying yet. He said he got her from the local ag supply store and was told she was an Ameraucana, but she doesn't look like your typical Ameraucana so we think she may be an Ameraucana crossed with something...

    Help narrowing down breed and gender

    Thank you for your response. She (he) was raised with two chickens from birth and we adopted all three of them yesterday (they're behind her in the photo). They are attached at the hip! They stick together for sure and seem very happy together. We also have 4 Indian Runner ducks that are closer...

    Help narrowing down breed and gender

    Hello everyone, we just acquired a 4 month old goose from a friend of ours who could no longer keep it, and we're trying to determine the gender and breed. We have lots of chickens but geese are all new to us. From looking online, it looks like a Brown Chinese Goose, but African Geese look...

    Help! Hens won't lay in new coop

    Yes, we built the nesting boxes exactly the same size, shape and location as they were in the old coop. It's been 3 days.

    Help! Hens won't lay in new coop

    We just built our chickens a new coop, in the same spot as their old coop, and they refuse to lay in the nesting boxes. They'll either try to go find some remote spot outside to lay, or will just drop one off the roosting bar! I know there can be an adjustment period before they'll decide to...

    Rouen duckling bites younger ducks and chicks

    We've got a Rouen duck that's about 4 weeks old. A couple times since we've had it, we've gotten some new chicks and ducklings and put them in the same brooder. Each of these times, even when the Rouen was only a week or so old, it bites the younger chicks and ducklings pretty hard. We've had to...

    Polish Chicken Behavior / Personalities

    Thank you everyone for all your advice and the warm welcome I've received since joinging Backyard Chickens! After reading what all of you had to say, I went home last night and tested it out. Instead of just reaching down into the brooder as we have been doing, I used very slow movements and...

    Polish chicken temperament

    Thank you for the info! After doing some further research and reading some more posts, I went home last night and tried a different approach. Instead of just reaching down into the brooder, I use very slow movements and slooowly reach for them and voila! no chaos! They were completely fine and...

    Polish chicken temperament

    We have 5 Polish chicks that are about 6 weeks old now. They seem to be kind of skiddish and freak out every time you reach for them. They run from you no matter what. Ever since we bought them from the feed store, we've played with them daily to raise them familiar with us, but it doesn't seem...

    Need help identifying breed & color

    Just curious, how can you tell at this age if it's a rooster? I didn't think there was a way to tell yet...

    Need help identifying breed & color

    No clue, I wondered the same thing myself. I guess that's what happens when they hire high school kids as their chicken experts :/ I don't recall if they were supposed to be sexed or straight run. I'm hoping it's a female though, I don't want any more roosters!

    Thank you! I've been using the site long enough to find answers to questions, I'm surprised it's taken me this long to actually create an account!

    Need help identifying breed & color

    Hello everyone, I bought this adorable chick from our local feed store and they ensured me it was a Bantam Silkie; however, as she gets bigger, I'm thinking they were wrong since she doesn't have the attributes of a Silkie. She doesn't have black skin, she only has 4 toes, she has feathers, and...
