    Help! New chick owner - cant identify and age this little chick

    Hi! I’m new to the chicken world and am slowly learning everything there is to know. I’m finding it difficult to know what breed, how old and what gender this little one is (it’s about ~11/12 weeks old, is my guess). It’s also almost positively a bantam. A farm had a late bloomer and the chick...

    Blue Crested White Polishes - Genetic Code and Can This Be Bred?

    Hello, I recently came across this photo: and I was wondering how hard this would be to find and breed into a Polish variety. I also really like the thought of bringing barring into a bird like this and getting barred crested white Polishes. Thinking about the genetics of blue in chickens I...

    Ayam Cemani Eggs - Are they Really Black?

    I've always thought that Cemanis are SUPER cool, but when scrolling through the endless abyss of the internet - a hobby of mine - I found some pictures that are labeled Ayam Cemani eggs, and the shell is black. There are also other pictures of tan eggs, and I'm wondering which one is true. I...

    Ayam Cemani??

    Got 2 mystery eggs in a batch of Cochin eggs. They are all black like Cemanis and clearly have at least one fibromelanistic gene (one has a tiny bit of red around her neck), but they both have impressive crests! No substantial comb under all that poof, at least that I can feel. Their size and...

    Day old silkie chicks

    Hello! These 5 little cluck muffins hatched yesterday from fertile eggs posted interstate. The breeder advised they were from a bearded silkie pen with colours of porcelain, blue, splash, black and grey. They are so sweet. Any ideas of colours?

    Black comb/legs/skin - Sex? EE??

    So I bought hatching eggs from a farm as Frizzle Easter Egger eggs, and though two of the eggs that hatched were black chicks, one of them not only had black feathers but also black legs/comb/skin (the other did not). Can EE’s have black combs/legs/skin?? How can I tell the sex of the chick...

    Black australorp?????

    These where supposed to be silver laced Wyandotte’s but they look more like black australorp to me, any guess on what they actually are??? And I’m thinking the ones with the bright red combs are roosters but not sure

    Poop?!

    Hi! Not sure if this is from my hen or cock? Both are acting normal. My Peahen is laying a clutch now so low wings but nothing out of the ordinary. Should I worry? Thanks! Deb
