So.... the kids talked me into getting a couple Banty's (they really had to twist my arm, HA!) Anyways, does anyone have any guess on what breed these guys may be? ******BIGGER PICS IN POST 5******** Chick 1 - Looks alot more blue/grey in person with a really dark grey head...

Ok, this guy/gal was born on our farm back in October. I thought for sure it was a rooser since he/she started to show wattles and a comb at around 8 weeks or so. Well, now he/she is 4 months old and nothing. Not the first crow or even attempt to act like a rooster! I only have 2 hens and...

Hi everyone! I hope I'm posting this in the right place, if not I'm so sorry! Anyhow, just wanted to see if anyone could tell me how this white roo looks? I know you probably need more pics to really give me good feed back but this is all I have right now. And he is dirty, but he was in a...

Ok, I usually can figure my chickens out after they grow out some but I'm stumped on 2 bantam hens that I got. They are around 5 months old now. Not laying yet. One has lightly feathered legs and the other is clean legged. Both are the exact same coloring. And they both have muffs and a...

My first mistake today was going into TSC. My 2nd mistake was taking my 4yr old daughter in with me Anyhow, these guys were too cute and teeny tiny to pass up. I think I could have a D'Uccle, or a Cochin, or maybe a Seabright.... As you can see, I really don't know what I'm looking at. I...

Hey guys! I went into our local feed store (first wrong move) and they had some baby chicks. Well when the lady said that they had some SLW I knew I had to have a couple of them (chicken math of course, because I already have 10 week olds and a broody on another dozen). Well they had just...

I got all of these from TSC, they were all in the EE bin (ok, technically their sign said Americana but I know better). And I was pretty sure that they all were. I do however have one that has yellow legs and I've heard that the SLW chicks look alot like the EE chicks. Can anyone tell me if...

Hey everyone! I got some EE eggs from someone local. They are beautiful blues and greens. The mother's are all EE's and the father is a rumpless and tufted Aruacana. I'm so anxious for these eggs to hatch! When I got them they were a dirty mess because it had rained for nearly a week here...

These 2 silkies are listed locally on craigslist for $30 for the pair. Can anyone tell me their color? Grey? Are they a good looking pair? I'm so new to Silkies so I really don't know much. But I do love them!! Thanks for any input.

I know the parents of this roo. Actually I know the father and I'm pretty sure I know the mother. But I thought maybe you guys might like to take a guess and see what you all come up with before I tell. Anyone wanna play? Here are 3 pics. He was 4 months old in these photos. He is the roo...

Hi everyone! I posted this in the hatching thread also. I wasn't sure really where to post it since I have these eggs in the incubator now, but I figured I should post here too. If I'm wrong please let me know and I will delete this post. I was given 30 eggs. The mothers are all EE's and...

I don't know if this is in the right spot or not. If not, please let me know where to move it too I was given 30 eggs. The mothers were all EE's and the father was a Araucana. He is rumpless and only has 1 tuft. I have read that the tufted Araucana carry a lethal gene. Could this be the...

I picked up these 2 Silkies today. I really don't know anything about silkies so I don't know if they are good quality or not. I do know that they have the 5 toes. They are both pretty in my eyes, so that's really all that matters I guess. But I would like to know if they are white and they...

Ok, so my babies hatched out yesterday and they were kinda sticky. Of course now that they have dried they are dry and "crunchy" on their backs. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this? I read that someone used a toothbrush to get it off. I tried that last night, but it didn't help...

LOL, so the subject line pretty much explains everything I do believe! Today is day 20 for my eggs and they are rocking! I also hear some peeping going on too! I'm so excited that I can't stand it! These are special little barnyard mixes for us. We got our chicks back in March from our...

Ok, I've seen several people that have their eggs in cartons. Some in plastic bowls. And some in little cage type things (like hardware cloth walls). If any of you do this which method do you use or have you used? Which has worked best for you? Anything special I need to know? Like with...

Hi everyone! I had not planned on incubating any eggs until next year. We recently moved to Tennessee from Indiana, my husband is still working in Indiana but was down to visit for the weekend. His brother called and said that our rooster went after the dog and as you can imagine it didn't...

:flHi everyone! I'm new to the forum, and new to chickens too. We got our chickens from our local farm store (Orscheln's) about 10 weeks ago. They were day olds when we got them. We have a White Crested Black Polish Roo. He has been doing fantastic, until I noticed today that his feathers...
