    Pullet/Cockerel? 8 wk blue ameraucana

    First time chicken keeper here. I ordered a mixed flock of “females” from Myers hatchery. I have a few suspect males, however, this one is my most “concerning” one at the moment. Hatch date April 24th 2023, just over 8 weeks old. Any guess on gender right now, or still too early to tell?

    Is my Blue Orpington actually Lavender, with the shredder gene?

    Hi all, I have a blue Orpington, Indie, that was purchased from a feed store on 4/21 as a day old blue orpington pullet. From the first day I’ve noticed her wings seem a bit odd, now as they are getting feathers, they naturally tuck under and seem disheveled. Is she actually lavender and this is...

    What’s wrong with my duck?

    I have a 5 year old pekin duck. This morning I picked her up and her belly looked really greenish/blue or even kind of a turquoise color. She does have some issues with her belly… it hangs down and drags on the ground. Any idea what’s wrong with her? Thank you

    What the heck is self blue split “true blue”

    If I’m looking to add a blue rooster to my silkie breeding flock (I’m new to this) and I have black, and splash hens how do I ensure I get a blue rooster and not something split to lavender (or is that okay) I want to end up with blue, black and splash chicks. And ideally would find some blue...

    Help Id this breed

    I was given this chicken a couple of months ago but the owner didn't know what it was. I assumed it was a Sapphire Gem as those seem to be everywhere now. However after comparing it to photos I have seen online I am not so sure. Sapphire Gems I have seen had yellow legs and feet and pale...

    Need help planning blue barred/cuckoo genetics

    I’m a total rookie so please correct me where I’m wrong. So the idea is: • Male barred + female blue = female blue bar • Female barred + male blue = male blue bar • female and male blue bar = homogynous My bird of choice is the ko shamo. I know of a breeder that sells blue wheaten’s, but then...

    Ameraucana or Easter Egger?

    Hello! A gentleman in Lucasville, Ohio gave me an amazing looking rooster this evening. I finally have a rooster to look after my 5 hens. I have never raised any Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas before so I have no idea which this is. He said it was sold to him as an Ameraucana but it probably...

    Blue skin on duck?

    I have a pekin duck that was flapping his wings in a very odd way one day. Her left wing seemed perfectly fine when i checked her, but she wasn't fully extending her right wing. So i just started digging around her feathers to find something, and i did. I found a pretty big blue skin coloration...

    Blue Leghorn Hens?

    I bought these from my local Tractor Supply in April as blue leghorn pullet chicks. As they started growing, I realized pretty quickly they looked different than any pictures I’ve seen of blue leghorns (or any pictures I’ve found since—I’ve never seen any live ones), but I wanted to wait until...
