Brill thank you, I think the darks may be some kind of dark salmon as they were bred from a black salmon and are starting to get some salmon colouring though underneath
Hi all,
I have some 6 week old chicks, all bred from a blue salmon cockerel and a variety of hens (gold partridge / blue partridge / splash / lemon Pyle) - does anybody recognise the colours of these chicks?
Thanks 😊
Morning all,
These are the first lot of chicks we hatched from the birds (mostly the first group I think)
They are now about 6 weeks old. Does anybody recognise any of these colours?
Also some noticeable differences are 1-4 all have well developed tails whereas you can see 5’s is much further behind.
1-4 also have similar combs whereas 5’s is much wider and has a slight yellow tone to it
Good evening,
I am UK based and currently own a few silkie bantams. I keep seeing ads for USA silkies and was wondering what the difference actually is between USA silkies and other types of silkie?
Good afternoon all
I have a group of 3 week old Brahma and I have started to notice quite clear differences in the combs of the birds, one is much wider and shaped differently.
Does this mean anything in terms of sex of the chicks or is this just a normal difference you can get in both sexes...
Good evening all

The eggs from these chickens don’t seem to be coming on as well during incubation as eggs from hens with my other...

Hello everyone
I adopted two agouti rabbits from a pet shop around a year ago and was wondering if anybody has any idea about what breed they might be?
My guess is that they may be mixed breeds, the little one maybe a netherland mix? But I’m not sure as I have not had those breeds before
Hello everyone
I have 2 cockerels in my flock who seem to now be at the top of the pecking order (they were both young when we got them and so we’re being hen pecked)
I have seen both cockerels trying to mount the hens but am unsure yet if the eggs are fertile. I have taken some pictures below...
