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.
I've got 5 new mystery chicks, when I went to the little store I bought them from the lady said that they were "bantams"- tbh i own a bantam and dont remember her being quite this big as a chick lol, plus this lady was clearly a friend looking over the store temporarily. They all have lil tail...
Hello there all you lovely chicken-experts, we got a first egg from Ella our Easter Egger today and it was a biggie (70g) 🙌. It’s got us wondering what she might be crossed with and if we might have a blue egg layer crossed with a Brahma or Cochin maybe 🤞🏼? I ask because I noticed a few rogue...
At TSC there were assorted ducklings. The ducklings appeared to be blue swedish, and maybe saxony or F&W runners today. I am NOT good with identifying ducklings (yet) so I stood there scrolling through several websites showcasing ducklings. I chose to buy what I think is an Ancona, and the is...
Hiii! I have 3 older hens that are starting to get slower daily and are having some issues and looking a little raggedy. Here’s Oreo our Barred Rock Hen who was named after our 16 year old black lab mixed who passed on hospice a few months before starting our chicken journey. Anyways Oreo has a...
Hey guys!
On the way home from work, the Mrs excitedly told me that our local farm store had Midnight Majesty chicks in stock and asked me to pick up a few. Soon after I arrived home with (3) Midnight Majesty Pullets and a Buff Orpington.
My wife opened the chirping box and immediately thought...
Hi all,
I cannot for the life of me figure out what breed/variety this hen is. Anyone know?
We are pretty sure she’s laying speckled brown eggs as the rest of ours are Easter eggers and australorps. She’s a fun anomaly that we can’t figure out!
TIA

This is Chironamoe (Ch-ron-e-moe), he's a gentleman and is less than one year old. He's very clever, kind and docile, but I don't know what 'breed' his father is. His mother, Patti the Polish is definitely showing with his crest and comb/wattles, but I don't know who his father is. The two...
Smaller 3 (2 brown and 1 black) are just shy of 5 months old and all the others are almost 7 months old. Ok we will have photo overload today in this thread. I typically know 100% the sex of the chicken. But when it comes to Easter Eggers I sometimes am clueless. I will post some Easter Eggers...
These 2 tiny black gals are tiny bantams! There is a yellow peeper-ed roo too. I'm unsure of his breed as well. Excuse the muddy coop. We've had non stop rain. Finally got some gravel ordered and for the time being got wood shavings down to dry it up. What are these guys?
Hello,
I recently purchased Seven marans from the Maran assortment box at my local Hoovers hatchery dealer. Four of them appear to be black copper marans/ or midnight majesties. One of them having darker feathered feet than the others. The other chicks I’m not so sure (3). They have feathered...
Sorry for the awful photos, I’m nervous to get them out again! I’m so excited to have them, waiting for them to calm down to sex. If anyone notices like, a blatant feather sexable roo please tell me! I’d also love to know what varieties they are! I love my beautiful rainbow quail mix!!!!
Anyone have some ideas on a cool looking chicken mix? Well, let me know and I might try for it in mid/late 2024. I will me selling all offsprings locally. Hopefully 🤞 I will have this breed selection by next ( 2024 ) spring ( Early June ) but breeds in bold writing will only be old enough for...
