I got some barnyard mix eggs from a friend; any thoughts as to what the momma of this lil guy is (photo 1)? The papa is a silver laced wyandotte and the other chicks sure look like wyandottes (see photo 2), however this one chick has a black beak and black legs/ankles w pink toes. Its darker...

Ive gone back and forth on this bird about a million times but I havent seen a whole lot of Brahamas in my day. What am I looking at here? Thanks!!!

Check out the pic below, I have a chick that has been working on this hole for 28 hours now with slow progress. It pipped in an odd spot too, most likely due to the saddled air cell it has. So when do i pop the lid and assist? 36 hours? I dont think it needs much to crack, it just cant seem to...

Hi all, Im looking to get some bantam brahmas to add to my flock but i cant seem to find hatching eggs of any kind for the breed, only chicks. Anyone out there got 8-12 eggs of bantam brahmas they’d like to sell? Thanks!!

Strange markings on these eggs with some translucent speckles. What is going on here and are these eggs still viable for incubation? Thanks!

Hi y’all, I got my first set of eggs coming and I’ve been messing with my magic fly incubator. I have a thermometer/hygrometer in there to verify temp and RH and Ive found i can get to a couple of humidity settings for incubating pretty easily at around 25% and 35% RH. So, do i roll with...

What up chicken peeps, my buddy got this chick a couple days ago from a bin that was black australorps, golden laced wyandottes, and white plymouth rocks. Could it be a white rock, they looked like a normal yellow chick at the store? Now we have a gray chick and a mystery on our hands. What...

I am looking for homes for these two dudes, they are both healthy boys that have been great with my flock. Looking to get 6-12 fertile eggs of just about any breed but I am really just looking to get them homed in good spots, seperate or together. I am in the Sacramento area. Thanks!!

My rescue chick is growing up fast, still a little young I know but what do y’all think, hen or roo? Also, I think she (yes im assuming she, speaking it into existence and all) is old english game or some mix thereof. She is pretty much a feral chicken of the North central valley, CA. What do...

I ended up with a barnyard mix chick that I think has been living a half feral life (long story). What are the steps I need to do to quarantine and make sure this chick doesnt get/transfer any bad coccidia/parasites, etc.? Im thinking medicated feed, a few pinches of prozap under the wings and...

Hello, my brooder is in my garage which worked great for the spring but now it is getting to 90 in the garage itself. I have turned off the light but are they good w 90 degrees and nowhere to go and cool down? Do I need to make an inverse brooder and have a cool side? I dont think bringing them...

What are these bad boys? They are all over the town of Yuba City in the central valley, and have naturalized heavily on the south side of town. Im sure they are a mix of some kind but here are the most common types I could find. Hens generally come in two colors, black and gold/buff with the...

i realize they are a bit young but here are Butternut (white) and Squash (black). Butternut is the younger of the two at 8 Weeks, and this bird has done some play fighting with my sebright cockerel. Comb is just a single small ridge poking up for now. It is inquisitive and scratches and forages...

this lil dude cant stay with us city folk unfortunately! Lemme know if u are interested he is not aggressive and is at the bottom of the pecking order rt now due to being one of teo bantams in the flock. He is 5-6 weeks old, and I am in Sacramento.

Hello, I am looking to swap/give away this beautiful silver sebright cockerel for an interested owner. This breed does not get big and Salt in general has been avoiding human contact and is not aggressive. He is 5-6 weeks old right now but with that red comb and his feathering he will be a...

Hello, I am looking to get 6 or so bantam Easter egger/ Americana/ Ameraucana eggs to hatch. Not particular about origins, just trying to find some good layers with some new egg colors. I am based out of northern California. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am looking to add some EE bantams to my flock, but would like to raise them up early from chicks so they can be friendly. Please let me know if you have any available, I can travel most anywhere in the central valley and northern california. Thanks!!!

Buff orpington doing well at 4-5 weeks, what do y’all think about the sex? Thanks!!

Hi all, can I get a quick gender check on this bird? She sure looks like a hen to me, but likes to get in the typical rooster fighting stance and boss the other hens around. The comb looks good to me but this is my first Ameraucana so i dont have a frame of reference and they seem quite...
