Alright, I confess, I made a big mistake when I decided to bring my three boys along to pick up some chicks. I was completely unprepared for the constant begging and puppy dog eyes. The game plan was just to get three, but somehow we ended up coming home with nine from a straight run.
In the...
Hi!
So, I’m still relatively new to BYC. My broody is on her second clutch, and I have successfully raised the 1 surviving chick from her 1st clutch with 5 out of the 6 chicks that I bought from tractor supply to keep the one chick company. But, now I’m curious as to what breeds they all are...

They got me y'all, there were only a few bantams left and one was a frizzle that was already starting to frizzle. An angry pinecone is on my list of wants for this year so what else was I to do but get 4 chicken babes.
So that being said, with it being an assorted bantam bin from tractor supply...
A few weeks ago I had gotten chicks for the main purpose of laying eggs, these chicks are about 3 - 4 weeks of age. I got these chicks thinking I had bought egg laying chickens, but when I went to the store where I had gotten them, I'm starting to have second guesses. This is my first time...
So, even though I wasn't planning on bringing home any babies the other day.... I just had to look at the chick tanks at Rural King on the way to another aisle. It got me really excited to see what I thought were Silver Appleyard ducklings in the tank.
It seems like Hoover Hatchery likes to...
Hello! I was hoping that maybe someone here might be able to help me figure out what kind of chicks I have. I have two breeds that are 8 weeks old. I was told I had 2 Black Australorp (back) and 2 Light Brahma (front), but the guy seemed unsure when he helped me out. 😅 Sorry it isn't a better...
This rooster showed up last week and I'm concerned he has had a rough life up until this point from the way he looks and acts.
(We have neighbors who have a concerning number of roosters and old hens who are left to fend for themselves outside the coop)
He has long slender legs, thin body...
I recently rescued this hen and plan to add her to my personal flock, but I can’t figure out what breed or mix she might be! Her tail feathers had to be cut back due to extensive damage so I can’t get a good look at her tail feather pattern/shape. Brown/beige coloured breeds aren’t ones I raise...
Ive had my hen Sunny for about 5 years now and I still can’t figure out her breed. She’s smaller than the average size, lays a light greenish/blue colored eggs, has green feet, a pea comb, has a partridge feather pattern with a light beige colored chest and thighs and is VERY docile. Would...
Everything I've read has told me that my black babies are blue Swedish ducks (I was hoping for Cayugas) & that my tan babies are Welsh Harlequins. What do you think? 😫 I'm so anxious to know what breeds these babies are so I can build an enclosure that is suited to house them!
Ps, I do know...
i hatched him from a green mystery egg i ordered and he’s now over a year old. originally it was difficult to figure out his sex because we all were expecting a pea comb but then someone mentioned he had a cushion comb and that’s why but now i’m still having a hard time confirming his comb...
Can someone tell me what type of hen this is?
She showed up last fall near my yard with her whole back torn up pretty bad. I didn’t think she’d survive but with some food, water, BlueKote and love she healed up and is such a sweet bird.
Anyway, she is still young but relatively small…I’m not...
(I only got one photo then went to work sorry) He’s a bantam with a yellow head and grey body. Feathered feet. Maybe one of your chickens looked like him when they were a chick?
Hi! My husband and I are looking for a dual purpose rooster for our flock.. found this handsome guy on Craigslist but I’m not sure what breed he is. The owner said “I think blue rock something?” Can anyone confirm or deny or ID this rooster? Want to make sure he would be a good candidate for...
