breed

i feel stupid asking this. but is there any way to check tractor supply’s website on what breeds of live chicks they will have at my location? i feel like i am running in circles on their website. i found chickens in bulk but i wanna know what breeds they will have that i can go there and get...

I'm thinking a male but the restaurant where he/she was dumped thinks female. Any ideas? They're a beautiful chicken!

Weird question that probably is really dumb - I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself. It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...

Hi! I have had this hen for 2 years now and never knew her breed. The place where I bought her from never told me what breed she is. (Sorry if I'm holding her wrong, she's really fat and heavy.)

When I first bought them, the lady present said Bantams. Then I was doubting so I called the store and the lady that owns the place told me that they were jersey giants and gold stars. I've done a lot of research on gold stars and hardly anything pops up, it's genuinely annoying lol so idk if...

What breed/sex chickens are these? I know what the silkies are of course, but I have no idea if they're male or female. Was told the small white one was a speckled Sussex which is crazy and was told the small black one was a prairie Bluebell Egger. The bigger White and black are about 6 Weeks...

I picked up my order of Green Queens this morning from Meyer and forgot to ask what breed my meal maker chick is. She’s a day old. The photo of her in the brooder (standing on the feeder, of course) is to show the brown stripe marking on her back. She may very well be a GQ, but the Meyer site...

Hello, these are unknown chicks I hatched in an incubator. Any ideas on what breed they may be and are they auto sexing? I think I’ve read something about a breed being auto sexing with a black spot on its head or back? I think it may be a Sussex breed but I’m unsure. Help!!

Just out of pure curiosity, anyone know the breeds of my brown and my white chickies? Or are they just Easter eggers? I got them at an animal shelter and they said they're 1-2 years old. They both have very mild personalities unlike the one in the back who is noisy and jumpy (I'm assuming she's...

Hey all, new to silkie chickens here. We recently purchased a new silkie and upon doing some research, noticed that the crest is not the standard silkie type. Is this just a regressive silkie gene? or could this be a mixed breed? Everything else seems to be regular silkie, although she does have...

Would anyone happen to know what breed these ducks are? Got them from tractor supply as assorted.

From those that have had Marek’s in the flock, it would be interesting to know how many chickens from each breed survived or didn’t - maybe that could give some idea of disease susceptibility. If you’re interested too, please share For us: Lost 1 BO (confirmed Marek’s) & 1 GLW (suspect...

I came across 2 chicks about 2 weeks ago and I am wondering what breed and gender these 2 adolescent chickens are?

So, here's my dilemma. It's kind of a long story so please bear with me. We bought 2 ducklings from TSC and the same day bought 4 chicks from a local non-chain farm store. They've been raised together and do great together. We then hatched out (via incubator) 9 baby chickens that we are brooding...

I have a Rhode Island Roo with Smokey Pearl hens. Has anyone bred the mix? If so what was the color produced? I have 9 eggs in incubator and 19 under a broody hen! Just curious as what I can expect with mix.

Hi friends! So I have 8 chicks, two were labeled “assorted Polish crested”. The one absolutely looks like a Polish, but I’m unsure on this black one. Someone said he might be a crevecoeur, but I’m not sure how to tell the difference? He’s about 5 weeks old in this photo and he just started...

Well this was a bit disappointing! I knew something was up with their eggs, they don’t look like bielefelder eggs (breeder said young pullet eggs (which sounded odd and you shouldn’t really hatch out pullet eggs) and today some are starting to hatch out. 11 eggs went in lockdown 2 Barred rock, 8...

hey everyone, i recently had my first hatch with my buff silkie whom of which is a hybrid. i only know it was from a silkie, not about the other part of it's hybrid. and the mother is a silver laced cochin to my knowledge. out of my first hatch, i came across both light feathered and dark...

She's about a month old. When I got her a month ago, they told me she was an Easter egger. However, I recently noticed her crest, which I've never seen on a chicken before. I couldn't feel a head knot. She doesn't have ear tufts of a beard either. Any ideas what kind of chicken she could be?

I was wondering on if anyone has experience with blue australorp personalities. I adore black australorps but wasn't sure if the blues focused more on color than personality. I'd love to hear yalls opinion on blue australorp behavior.
