I purchased this pullet from a feed store that had her listed as a blue cuckoo marans but as I don’t have any experience with the breed, I’m not sure if this is the case. I thought cuckoos had barring and I kind of see some on her wings now that she’s older but still have no idea lol I included...

Both of these little ones were sold to me as blue cuckoo marans and I swear they looked like they were both the same color in the store! Now that I’ve gotten to see them in different lighting I’m seeing the difference between them. Are they both blue cuckoo or do I have something else? Any info...

Hey y’all 👋🏼 So I’m needing to introduce a Silkie cockerel to my existing tiny flock of two Silkie pullets (the pullets are 10 months old and the cockerel is roughly 5 months old). Now I normally wouldn’t introduce just one lonely little chicken but this sweet boy was a rescue and was all on his...

This is not my chick but someone in one of my fb groups is looking for someone to take this baby in, in hopes of getting her healthy. She doesn’t know what’s wrong with it and I’ve not seen this before so I was wondering if anybody could possibly identify the problem. Any info y’all could...

This little one was sold to me as a partridge Silkie. It has black skin, what appears to be a single comb, five toes on one foot and feathered legs. I’m still new to Silkies but I know enough that I can tell something is off. Is she just poor quality or can anybody tell if she’s mixed with...

I have a chick a little over a week old who has a very swollen abdomen and also has a hard lump inside her belly. I talked to someone who said she looks like she’s full of poo. I massaged the area with warm water and tried squeezing GENTLY (per instructions given by breeder) but nothing came...

I’m not sure how old this blue Cochin is exactly but according to what I was told at time of purchase she is roughly 6 months old. “Shes” not laying yet but I’m also clueless as to when Cochins usually start laying. She hates me and runs when I try to pick her up…I was told Cochins are usually...

I’ve been trying to decide whether or not I should get my 11 week old Silkies DNA tested. The suspense of waiting to find out genders is killing me but I’m also worried about obtaining a blood sample because I’m afraid I’ll mess it up somehow…also the thought of cutting one of their toenails to...

Can anybody provide pics of their Silkie roosters when they were younger?? Or any pics of confirmed cockerels in general will do and would be much appreciated! I have a couple of 10 week old white Silkies and I’m wanting to compare characteristics out of curiosity. Thanks in advance!

I got this little d’Uccle pullet in early August and was told that most of the other pullets in her pen were laying. There wasn’t much clarity as far as exact age but we were told about 5-6 months old 😕. Anyhoo, in the last couple of weeks I’ve noticed Clementine’s comb has changed from a fleshy...

I have some updated pics of my Orloff who is now roughly 18 weeks old. I know they can be difficult to sex but I’m still going crazy not knowing. Ive been told by a bunch of folks that Winnie appears to be a pullet but she’s changed so much in the last few weeks and now I’m not so sure. Would...

A fellow member of a chicken group I’m in on Facebook asked for help identifying his random Tractor Supply find. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Dutch Bantam??

For those of you who have Orloffs or have had them in the past, what other breeds do you have in your flock? I’m shopping around for friends for my lone Russian Orloff and since I’m new to chickens I don’t know much about what breeds/sizes go together well or if it even matters. The posts that I...

I’ve posted about this chick before, but back story for those that didn’t see it. I found this chick pecking around my backyard and I have no clue where it came from. It’s mine now lol and I’m learning as I go. I don’t know exact age or sex but a member of this group suggested that it may be a...

This sweet little thing wandered into my backyard and into my heart. Can y’all possibly tell me what breed and gender it may be?
