Hi! This is our first time raising chickens. I got these randomly as a backyard mix of chicks when they were a few days old. We have 4. Any idea what breeds we have? Posting pictures of each of them and also a pic of them together for sizing detail. They are 9 weeks old. I know we have at...
This beautiful little “pullet” was crammed in a small cage at my local feed store with several other chickens. I had to rescue her. I’m not sure about her breed or even positive it is a pullet, although they charged me for a hen.
Upon arriving home a young hen began having a rival jumping dance...
Hey guys! So I ordered 6 chicks from the rare breed assortment at meyer hatchery and was able to identify most of them. But this one has me stumped. They have a chick ID page but she doesn’t really look like any of the chicks from their. So as a default I assumed she was an olive egged, but then...

Thanks for your input!

We purchased a set of pullers (or so we were told) from the local feed and seed, and I believe they come from Hoover’s hatchery. We believe that the store advertised these as Starlight Green Eggers, which seem to have quite a color variation, but I haven’t seen many with these colors. The...
What kind of bantams are these? I love their antics so much and only plan on keeping a hen and roo though. Just need some insight as the lady who I am giving a roo too wants to know what type he is. Thanks!
Hello! So May 6-8 2021, we hatched 6 chicks! The one I named, Koala, was a wild card with gender and breed. We got the eggs from people we petsat for with a NUMBER of different breeds. I’m thinking Koala is a hen, but I would love to just make sure! I’m new to backyard chickens, and this is my...
