I am so happy to find this thread!! I just filled up my incubator with mutt eggs and cannot wait to see what hatches and try to figure out what kind of crosses I have! We have a lot of different breeds of hens and our roosters include polish, silkie, EE, RIR, Wyandotte and Lakenvelder along...
My chickens free range and they are very happy and healthy and it cuts down on the amount of store bought feed they need and their coop stays pretty clean except for right under their roosts they sleep on. We stick waterers around the yard so they can stop and get a drink if they want to and...

So beautiful! My inlaws have a female they call "roadblock" and she thinks she's a lap dog.
I think if we ever get another dog it will be a great pyrenese puppy so we can hopefully have a dog that doesn't kill chickens at the slightest chance she gets. Right now we have resigned...
Well, I know what kinds of dogs have been horrible for us.... Labs, lab mixes, hound mix, pointer/wimeraner mix, basset hound mix, golden retriever mix, german shepard, pit bull, schnauzer, rat terrier, jack russel terrier, husky, and numerous terrier mixes. We only ever had 2 dogs that...

what is that kind? It's nostrils look different.
I'm not sure what it is exactly. Thought it was a polish, but the beak is different from my other polish chicks. This one has a hooked looking beak and the nostrils are funny looking. Maybe someone else knows what it...
I hope it is a girl! I ordered the rainbow layer and ornamental layer assortments from mcmurray. Lots of cute cute babies! I also got one Salmon Faverolle (sp?) and one Blue Andalusian that I am excited about!
We made our coop out of an old trampoline that had a hole in the tarp. My hubby bought pipe the same size to make it taller then went around it with chicken wire. We can move it around the yard with enough people to help and the roosts are easy to install because it is round. We did add...
I wish all the roos would crow at 5 days old!!! That would make my planning way easier lol! Mine seem to take forever before I can tell what sex they are!

My daughter is fascinated with the chupacabra!! She thinks any noise outside is the chupacabra and talks about them all the time since she was 3 and we took her to the local zoo for halloween when they had "night of the cupacabra" We all think it is adorable and funny hearing her say...
Someone had peacocks down the river from us in our old home. They sounded like a woman screaming "help me" at night and it was very creepy because the sound carried down the river and echoed creepily. We almost called the cops the first time we heard it, but then remembered the peacocks...

Looks like a Silver Grey to me. Where did you pick up this little cutie? And does he/she have 5 toes?
Yes, he/she has five toes, that is why I started asking what it was and I had one person tell me they were sure it was a Dorking because they raised them. I'm not sure where he came...
I just love polish chickens!!! Thank you everyone for sharing your pictures!! I think you cannot look at one of these birds without giggling a little, so they really put me in a good mood! I have a few young chicks to share pics of.
This one is a polish right?? What is this color called...
I wanted to share a picture of my baby. She is so cute, but going through an awkward stage right now with her feathers. My daughter screams "It's soooo fluuuffffyyy!!!!" every time she sees her.
I love seeing pictures of everyone's beautiful birds. I take pictures of my babies about once a...
This is my first try at posting pictures! *fingers crossed*
This was my free rare chick in my order this spring... I was told it may be a blue andalusian. What do you think???
