    Silkie-Blue Australorp sexing help?

    Yes! The saddle feathers were exactly what got me to second guessing because I never really noticed how pointy they were until 2-3 days ago when I was putting more hay down in their run.

    Silkie-Blue Australorp sexing help?

    Good afternoon! I am seeking some help. My broody Penedesenca hen hatched this lone little blue chick out late September so I'm thinking this chicken is around 4 months old now. I'm pretty sure that it is a Silkie-Blue Australorp mix hatched out of my own flock eggs. I was 99% sure it was a...

    Silkie-EE mix

    Thank you! Hopefully the lighter one is a pullet.

    What breeds should I get?

    I have a 12 week old Cream Legbar right now and she is a doll. She is one of the smaller birds in my flock (actually she’s the second smallest of the 6 chicks I added to my flock). I have a feeling she’ll be about the size of my Ancona hen and my Ancona is one of the smallest breeds I own...

    Silkie-EE mix

    Are these two chicks cockerels? I have a feeling that they are but I wanted to confirm that that these chicks are cockerels. They hatched out of my flock eggs this summer. 12 weeks old, dad is a Buff Silkie and mom is a golden bearded Easter Egger. Lighter / shorter one is named Pierogi and the...

    Do I have 2 Cream Legbar chicks? 1 week old

    I am not familiar with Cream Legbars - this is my first experience with them. I purchased these two chicks Friday, June 19th with 3 other chicks to give to my two broodies (the chicks were probably 2 or 3 days old at time of sale) - the 2 yellow ones in the pic were hatched out of my flock eggs...

    Crele Penedesenca or Partridge Penedesenca?

    Oh yeah, my feed store gets rare/strange breeds in all the time. The Black Copper Marans chick was purchased at the same time and same feed store as the Penedesenca chick - they also had Barnevelders, Salmon Faverolles, Blue Langshans, Turkens, Buckeyes, Lavender Orpingtons (always sold as SR...

    Crele Penedesenca or Partridge Penedesenca?

    Just a local farm / feed store. They get their chicks on Fridays (I order mine from a Meyer hatchery and get mine usually on Wednesdays so not sure what hatchery the store orders from).

    Crele Penedesenca or Partridge Penedesenca?

    Evie is 3.5 weeks old now (about 2.5 or 3 weeks in pictures here) but she was bought as a 4 or 5 day old Crele Penedesenca pullet. She doesn’t look like a Crele chick due to the chipmunk down coloring but her wings look like Crele from the pictures of adult hens I’ve seen. Is it too young to...

    What Chicken Breeds do you Dislike & Why?

    I have a feeling that my Buckeye is complaining in my particular case. I have 4 laying hens over a year old and 2 recently went broody over the past couple of months. One of them raised a SF cockerel for 8 weeks (well still is raising him - she hasn’t abandoned mothering duties to him yet) and...

    What Chicken Breeds do you Dislike & Why?

    I am not too fond of my Buckeye. My old roommate brought her home as a surprise chick without telling me first so I had literally no choice in her being in the flock but I wouldn’t choose this breed again. As a chick she was crazy wild and never liked to be held. As an adult she is loud and...

    Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

    Well, here are updated 5 week old pictures from yesterday - very safe to say that Peaches' new name is going to be Sir Salvador Peaches (or just Mr. Peaches). He's found some friends in my other chicks (7.5 week old pullets) who I've successfully moved out of the brooder cabin and into a small...

    Review by '' on item 'Langshan'

    Zelda is the only Langshan in my flock (she is a pretty Blue Langshan). She is the only chicken out of my flock of 8 to frequently escape the run’s 6 foot fence - she loves to fly / jump. With that said, she is one of the 2 easiest chickens to handle/pick up. Zelda voluntarily jumps up onto my...

    How do you determine who is the highest ranking chicken?

    With my flock, the top hen (Spindrift) glares down my favorite hen and gets in her face (Zelda) to somewhat intimidate Z. If Z doesn't move then Spindrift delivers one swift peck to her noggin and Z immediately moves. Spindrift's inseparable best friend Morticia is lower ranking than Zelda and...

    Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

    I wouldn’t mind if this one turns out to be a SF cockerel based on the black feathering but I will be sure to update with more pics in a couple of weeks when the body feathers really start coming in. I googled and I agree that they are very beautiful / cool looking roosters with amazing coloring.

    Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

    Yes. In this picture, the foot in the foreground seems to show it.

    Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

    That’s what I’ve been thinking because the non puffy cheeks and the coloring is off. I was expecting more brown. Or it could possibly be a cockerel since I’m seeing some black come into the legs now but I don’t know. It seems like some feathers are black fading to white and some are half...

    Is this even a Salmon Faverolle?

    I may be overthinking this question and scaring myself - I’ve looked through at least 15 posts on here and various website pages on Faverolles to help me but I never found a picture of a Faverolle chick looking quite like mine being mainly black/grey and white with some brownish bits at the end...

    5 week old Ancona pullet - correct?

    Purchased as a pullet with 90% probability. The comb size and the brave personality def threw me off at first.

    5 week old Ancona pullet - correct?

    I want to make sure that this is a for sure Ancona pullet. She’s (I think) 5 weeks and 2 days old (picked her up from the post office on May 1st. She is very outgoing and every time I go into the garden/brooder cabin she just has to jump on my shoulder and start preening my hair. She’ll stay...
