Hello everyone,
My name is Silvia and I live in the suburbs of Los Angeles, CA. About a month and a half ago, a bantam hen showed up in my back yard. One of my neighbors used to keep chickens and roosters and moved away. Weeks later, the bantam started coming to my back yard. I was not able to...
I got my boy by random selection by a man who was downsizing his flock and he gave me this guy as a chick. He grew up very beautifully and I really loves his coloring and his incredibly sweet personality. I couldn’t find his coloring around the OEGB charts(assuming he is a cross) but an online...
Hi all,
We have 3 four week old Mille fluers and I was wondering their sex. One has a significantly larger comb, which definitely seems like a roo. Not sure on the other two. Thanks for any help you can offer!
Chick 1:
Chick 2:
Chick 3: roo?

Does anyone know what I’ll get if I crossed a Lemon blue Cochin to a Blue Cochin. If I was to cross their offspring would I hatch out Lemon blue Cochins?
I recently got some chicks out of the bantam bin
At TSC. Pretty sure I’ve figured out the breed on all the chicks except this one. Can anyone help me identify this chick? It has feathered feet and toes.
hey everyone, i recently had my first hatch with my buff silkie whom of which is a hybrid. i only know it was from a silkie, not about the other part of it's hybrid. and the mother is a silver laced cochin to my knowledge. out of my first hatch, i came across both light feathered and dark...
Hi! I have a 1 1/2 year old red pyle bantam who has been acting strange the past day or so. It started yesterday when I brought him inside (he likes to hang out with our indoor chicken). I noticed he wasn’t making much noise and he wouldn’t eat. He was also having diarrhea that started out with...
Hello I have the sweet little rooster probably weighs a pound or 2
He is a bantam But i'm not familiar with all of the colors so Is he recognizable
Would you call him mottled or speckled
I just hatched this bantam cochin baby this morning. my question is, is she black or mottled? I know typically mottleds have a lot more white, but she has a lot more white than the other solid black babies I hatched. She has white tipped wings and a little white on her legs. As well as really...
Hi there,
I have new chicks and have a few questions on 2 of them. #1- bought from Russell feed and was told it is a buff brahma (about 3 weeks old). #2- bought from tractor supply from the assorted bantam bin (about a week old).
Does #1 look like a Buff Brahma? I don’t see any feather on...
if I crossed a mille fleur to a porcelain will all the chicks be split to porcelain?
Also how long does it take for a duccle bantam to fertilize a hen,basically how many seconds does a roo have to be on a hen in order for her to start laying eggs.
I have 3 French (American) bresse hens that I bought as juveniles and enjoyed having so this year I jumped into chicks from tsc. Tsc makes you buy at least 4 so I got 1 cream legbar pullet (to be sure I got at least one female) and 3 feather footed bantams hoping for a silkie. My chicks are a...
First time having baby chicks, I got 3 random furry feet bantams hoping they were silkies but they all have 4 toes so clearly not lol. Wondering what breeds they are and maybe genders? Obviously nothing is certain til they’re grown but the guessing and watching is part of the fun. I *think* I’ve...
So I wanted to get blue Mille fleurs cochins, I only have chciks as of right now. If I wanted to cross a blue over a Mille fleur, i know it wouldn’t be achieved in the first generation, should I breed that generation to the sibling or one of the parents?? If i was to cross a millefleur/blue...
Hello all! Here is my introduction.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am not new to chickens, but I am still new-ish to ducks. I got my first chickens back in 2014. I started with a pair of Old English Game bantams. I then started showing birds. Once I went to...
