Thank you so much! It's the last one that's crowing, the ?iowa blue. So sad that the red and white is a boy too. Thanks for your help!

I should have added, the eggs were sold to me as large pure breeds (but not specific pure breeds). That said there are no guarantees are there!

Hello, can anyone help me to identify the breeds of this years mystery hatchlings? These three are eight weeks old and absolutely huge - they are already noticeably larger than the adult frizzles/naked neck/cochins we hatched last year.

I've just put them back and they are digging away happily in...

Hello, my name is Laura and I live in England. I just wanted to say hello and thank you for all your help so far. I am hatching and raising chicks for the first time and I've read lots and lots on the forum over the past week looking for answers on all sorts of things, everything from...
