I think what I read said they black sex links was created from Plymouth rocks and Rhode Island reds so probably some similarities. Either that or I'm starting to think tractor supply is horrible at naming breeds lmao!
Ok thats interesting. Still orpington though just either blue, chocolate or mauve. I really doubt they are chocolate the pics don't do the gray color they are justice but I could see mauve being possible.
That's so weird yall because the other 3 I got from same store were supposedly barnvelders but they then said they don't look like them and aren't sure what they are. I have since determined they are blue orpingtons. Maybe they mixed the barnvelders in with the speckled sussexes lmao. I've had...
Recently posted about my other chicks and yall helped a lot so wanted to check what my other breed i got from tractor supply is or if they are what they say they are. I was told that they are speckled sussex and 1 really looks like it's coming into the colors of a SS. The other I'm not sure...
Thank you everyone for the help I knew it was a blue something so I'm going with blue orpington now. I'll post the pics of the other 2 when I get home to see if they are what they said they are lol
That's funny because I bought 2 speckled syssex, they didn't doubt them being that breed. I have another post showing pics of them but they are very different looking from each other. 1 is growing to really look like a SS but the other idk lmao. I'll have to post pic tomorrow.
They are gray all the way, except for a little tiny white tip on the wings and the bottom of face/ neck is white. I do have them outside that one is just our favorite and most likely going to be the house chicken because she is the freindliest of them all.
I am now 7 weeks old and still notnsure what breed I am! Bought 4 from tractor supply and was told they were barnvelders at first but they then said they aren't sure what they are because they don't look like they are supposed. Definitely can tell they aren't barnevelders but not sure what they are.
Ok it's dirt not scat thank you lol. And to add to post i haven't had anything attack chickens. I have see some of the biggest coons in my life get into my trash but have not had anything attack chickens
Can anyone tell me what might have done this. I'm a little new to chicken keeping. Have 3 fully grown hens and 9 chicks that are 6 weeks old and just got put outside in the new coop. Noticed the hole in the ground after a very heavy rain. There were scratch marks where the clumps were like...
Ok I was wanting a black australorp I'm sure blue's a very pretty as well. I've seen a lot of people talk about those and orpingtons as well so hopefully that's what they are.
