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...
Wondering what color the chicks will be ( not the eggs) if I cross this white amerecauna hen (I think she’s white with black leakage) to a blue splash marans.
Calling all BBS breeders and geneticists! After much searching, I have yet to find a single post where there is concise, useful information on bbs breeding - so I’m hopefully starting one here! ☺️ I’m new to the BBS breeding world but am not new to the biology/genetics world, so it would be...
I bought 3 of these blue laced red Wyandotte’s, I’m not exactly sure on age, anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks. I hadn’t questioned their breed at all until I saw someone post about splash laced Wyandotte, which is now making me question... they were bought from a breeder who also hatches eggs from a...
Hi everyone!! I've recently convinced my grandpa to give me some of his hens from his flock as I start to slowly build up a flock of my own. I chose some of the chickens I grew 'attached' to as i visited my grandparents little farm.
I would like you guys to please help me figure the breed of...
Wondering what breeds and genders these two are. 1 red and 1 blue. They are just over 9 weeks old. Got them from someone who got them at tractor supply. He doesn’t remember what they are. They were sexed as pullets.
I have an EE rooster from Meyer hatchery and it's supposed to breed true when bred with one of their EE hens.
I also have some Ameraucana hens and I want to know what the chances are that the resulting hens from the "Ameraucana X EE" cross will lay eggs that are not brown or white.
I...
So I just LOVE Jurassic World, and I was wondering if anybody on here does too! I have watched Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and I'm waiting for Jurassic World: Dominion to come out! If many people come on this thread, it can become a Jurassic World discussion thread!
25 chicks hatched!! Yay. Hoping more do. See a few have pipped. One is trying to break shell.
After 2 days of being hatched, it was time to pull a few out.
Yay!!!
Hello BYC Fam! :woot:frow
Anyone have pics of their Blue or Splash jersey giant roosters? I have a pair I got from the hatchery. They are supposed to both be blue, but I am thinking my male must be splash, because he is a much lighter blue color than the female (who is a very dark, almost black...

Hello everyone,
I’m currently dabbling with ideas for breeding projects on our Silkies and Satins.
Currently I have 2 buff satins, that I really want to try to breed more out off.
and I have a blue-partridge satin Hen, and her offspring which is a blue hen
Now I know this wouldn’t be SOP...
I have both blue and lavender genetics in my flock. As well as mottling/mille fleur (porcelain).
I know it’s hard at this stage and I went through it once before with my now blue hen. I just want people’s best guesses 🙂
I’m too impatient to wait for them to grow out to guess hahaha
One of my black bantam ameraucanas laid a big ole double yolker, it was the size of a Grade A Large store bought egg (the white egg is store egg for comparison). It came from either either a 2.5 or 1 year old hen. Couldnt have been fun laying 😬😬😵
Hi! I’m hoping that someone will help me sex my 8 1/2 Week Ameraucana chicks. I am confident on the gender of the other chicks but cannot tell if these guys are cockerels or pullets?

Chick #4

The combs of chicks 4 and 5 don’t get redder than...
What breed is my chicken? Also what is its gender? I think its a hen but could use confirmation. Its name is Crow. Its black with blue/purple feathers on the lower part of its wings. Its about 4 months old.
I am in Texas and looking for a grown blue Bresse rooster. We have two hens but no rooster.
Anyone has one for sale or trade? We have lots of chickens, ducks, quails, etc to trade if interested.
