Hi,
Have what I think are 3 boys - grey, black and white and two girls - white and brown.
Have no idea on breeds, and would like to know if my assumptions on the genders are correct!
What I think is a rooster (the black one with white bits - doesn’t crow like the other two and is VERY calm so...
Hey Everyone, we are pretty new to chickens and were wondering about breeding. We have a lavender orpington rooster. We have heard that a lavender would produce black offspring. Our hen breeds are golden laced wyandotte, silver laced wyandotte, rhode island red, butf brahma, gold sexlink, and...
Hi! I bought my first chickens this spring (two hens and one is a Salmon Faverolle). I was told this hen was a Rhode Island Red, but when she started laying we were surprised to find white eggs. Also I just noticed her white earlobes. Did I end up with some kind of mutt? Can anyone tell? Thanks...
We got an assorted group of chicks about six weeks ago and we have figured out the breeds of all except this one, and we aren’t sure if this little one is a he or a she either. Can I get a little help figuring all this out?
Hi Everyone,
I am brand new to raising chickens, brand new to this site, and this is my first post so please be gentle.
I incubated a mixed bunch of eggs and they hatched on March 22nd, so they are now 9 weeks old. The only information I was given about the eggs was that any five toed chicks...
I think the are rouen’s and about 2 weeks old. Im not sure what gender they are. I’m curious if anyone can tell by looking. 1 of them is very attached to me and doesn’t like being with the others. So I need advice on that as well.
So on April 1st, my mom and I bought 6 chicks from our local tractor supply. We have been talking about chickens for a while, and trying to just become a little more self sustainable as best as we can. I know the black one is a silkie. But the rest.... I have no idea.
Also, is it too early to...
Hello! I am the proud mom of two new babies! They're just at 4 or five weeks now, and I'm trying to figure out what breed they are (and what sex, if you're able!).
My parents got them for me at a local feed mill store and said they were both Araucanas -- but seeing as I live in the BFE I very...
Okay, so we bought 4 Bovan Brown chicks at TSC. I don’t have a lot of faith in TSC correctly identifying their pullets. Three of the chicks are at least obviously the same breed. This one is about 3/4 the size of the others and colored differently. It has these little stripes on its back. Google...
Can your help me ID these birds? All hatched out of lighter brown egg shell. Farmer told me he has many breeds and most of eggs are of mixed breed. Any idea on the mixes? Some could be from 2 parents of same breed too. Thanks for your help!!
Chick 1: first 3 photos-feathers: various shades of...
I got him/her (the one in question, which I hope is a male) and a female khaki Campbell a few weeks ago from a popular breeder in my area. They were at least 1 week old when I bought them, and my guess is that they are about four weeks at the moment. He/her quacks harshly when separated from the...
All the help possible please! Is this a cockerel or a hen? It’s 5/6 weeks old I haven’t heard it make sound. I’m also wondering if anyone knows what breed of chicken he/she is? Thanks in adavnace y’all :)
I got this duck in a local feed store and don’t know what breed of duck, don’t know if it’s a mix, a black Swedish, or a magpie, will the white stay on its head?
When getting our chickens we asked for one surprise rare breed chick- but had to be a female. They gave us this chick, and he/she has been developing much slower than the other girls, feather development is not as quick. Just this week the chick got feathers around her neck which has made her...
i have a two week old rooster named beatrice (bee) because i thought he was a she. he is super attached to me because he was really sick when i first got him, and i babied him a lot. i have 4 hens and i really really do not want fertile eggs. i’m considering neutering because i don’t want...
I posted these chicks looking for breed identification shortly after getting them as babies, now they’re somewhere between 5-7 weeks old and I’ve been researching ways to tell the genders. Below are some recent pictures of them if anyone wants to make a guess. I’m thinking the last one is a...
