They are all lovely chickens, even the drake and goose. The only one that gives me any trouble is my gander. I have to be aware of him or he'll goose me on the butt. However since that is why he is there at all, to defend, or in his case offend, then I guess I can live with it until he really...

So just to further admit to my inability to accurately assess the chicks I buy, these were sold to me as Speckled Sussex. Of course I knew it was unlikely that all 4 were speckled, but I gave them a chance. After all neither was the Ancona when she was a chick...

It is nearly impossible to get a clear picture of these birds. His comb is definitely single and large, but hers is definitely small. They both have feathered legs. Outside earlier her comb looked single but quite small, but none of the pictures portray that so unlikely a single comb (didn't...

Oh duh on me. You're talking about the feathers on top of her head. I thought you were saying a crest on or around the eyes. I see what you mean now. Chalk it up to fatigue. I do know about crests, e.g. crested cream legbars... I'll try to look when the sun is up and see if either of the...

I'm going to have to look up the crest part. I'm not edumacated about that. But it will be fun to learn. But what's going to be truly funny is when someone tells me the Cornish Crosses are really Leghorns.🤣

I can live with that. I new the lady who was telling me what breeds the chicks were didn't have a clue. I had just bought the lavender orp chicks and stopped at the feed store and of course they had a bunch of pullets there. So cute I couldn't resist 4 more chicks. Two she told me were...

Okay, I have revised my "I'm sure about this" list to: 1. I'm sure this is a duck... ...or a drake

I've never looked at her earlobes. I will have to look at her earlobes, the ?blue somethings (really think their legs are slate rather than grass), and the marans comb ( which is small but looks like a straight comb when I look at her outside. In the pictures I can't quite tell.). What should...

That was unexpected. I didn't even question that potential, though if they get one breed wrong then for sure 2 or more could be wrong. As I got some from a feed store, I'm not surprised about those, but the Marans were the only ones I felt really sure about...well except for the white birds...

I've been Ramblin for years...😉

I probably will have to say straight up Easter Egger which could be anything right 😄...or Olive Egger

In this light they do look in the realm of more olive than blue (sorry for the dirty muddy eggs. It is very wet muddy right now and they haven't learned quite where to lay yet)

Oops, sorry...then the one I think is Buff Columbian Brahma and the Sapphire Gems lookalike, though obviously I'm completely wrong 😅

This is supposed to be one Welsummer, 2 French Black Copper Marans, and the Cornish Cross roo

That was weird. The screen said "Ancona?" but when I posted my reply the quote was totally different

This is my Ancona.

I have a combo flock of 11 hens and 2 roosters. And while I have caught the Cornish Cross rooster sitting on the communal nest and clucking like a hen, I'm pretty darn sure he didn't lay these eggs. There is obviously some confusion as to what breeds I actually have. My hens: 1 Cornish Cross...
