    Trouble figuring out which is which

    So the hatch I was supposed to have this week was a failure, and none of the eggs made it. I had the brooder ready and was really excited for chicks, so I bought some to make myself feel better. People I bought them from told me they were supposed to be brahmas, ameraucana, naked necks, and...

    Cream legbar? Bielefelder?

    Long story short; my mother in law had some chicks in our coop until they were big enough to go to her place. She took what she thought were cream legbars and left our bielefelders. This one has developed a crest similar to the legbars we already have. Can anyone confirm what I’m thinking?

    Help to ID the breed of pure bred striped wing chick? Possible Sussex?

    Good morning fellow chicken lovers. I purchased from what I thought was a straight run of chicks from a breeder, who only has purebred and popular heritage chickens. He is reputable. There's a little 'surprise' in the group that became apparent as the smallest male chick grew feathers.His wings...

    Ameraucana cross? Mixed breed identification

    Trying to figure out a breed here. One of my hens is a mixed-breed, born this spring, I think she's probably crossed with a purebred black ameraucana (hence the cheek puffs), however it is also possible her mother is a mixed breed as well. My flock of 6 started laying for the first time...

    Breed and gender?

    I am new to owning chickens and need help identifying this one! 😅 I bought what was supposed to be Starlight Green Egger pullets from TS, and this one they gave me is definitely not that (at least doesn’t look anything like the others)! Wondering what breed it may be and if it’s looking like hen...

    Breed ID for new chicks? Sexing too early?

    Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (😞) leaving our other one alone...

    Jersey Giant

    I have a female jersey giant that a friend picked up for me from tractor supply company. She is a rather light bird, she is smaller than my buff Orpington who is the same age as her. It’s odd though because the jersey Giants that my friend got for herself are bigger. Is she just a small jersey...

    Bantams with standards

    So I am receiving a bantam hen and a bantam rooster today. They are about four months old. I have a flock of nine standard hens, five of whom are still pullets. What is the best way to integrate them? I am not too concerned because before they were living with 30 to 40 standard chickens and...

    Gosling breed identification

    Back in march my mom brought home goose eggs from someone who was giving them away to eat. I’ve incubated geese before and she thought I’d be interested in hatching them. We were unsure if they were even viable but I put them in the incubator and a few days later we had veins. The person who...

    Hmmm… things aren’t lining up. Barred Rock, Cuckoo Marans, or Dominique?

    Hello there chicken experts! I have three 5 week old chickens I’m unsure about and would love to hear your thoughts… Chickens #2 and #3 are supposed to be Cuckoo Marans (pullets)… or so they were labeled. I’m beginning to think they’re actually Dominiques. Their combs and leg color aren’t...

    What do I have? 🐥

    I have 15 FBC Marans. Mostly turning out to be roos. I had three extra surprise eggs to hatch, not sure what they are. One looks like my marans but has a fluffy neck. One is white with a few black tipped feathers and came out of a much smaller speckled brown egg, and then a beautiful blue that...

    What breed of duck is this?

    Hello! About a week ago, I took in two female ducks from one of our family friends. One is certainly a Blue Swedish, but I’m quite stumped on the breed of the other. Our family friend said she’s a Buff Orpington, but I’m not so sure. Any ideas? Most notably, she has very intricate wings, a...

    EE or other breed?

    Any idea what breed she is? She was said to be a Black Star but the other two I got her with look alike and she looks much different. She’s got some EE traits but the black coloring and bluish iridescent feathers like the other two; however, she has bluish legs and they have yellow. She also has...
