Hi everyone,
This is my first post, however I'm a long time lurker! I've only been keeping chickens for a year or so and could really do with some help identifying the breed and gender of these two!
Hatched mid January from dark dark eggs.
They were in a mixed batch and I've not a clue what...
I know that the two are black sex links, I think the white one is the Easter egg and then there’s two that are brown and black, one of them is not in the picture she or he is in the other side of the yard.
I hope I got enough pictures that you can tell me if I’m correct. The black sex links, I...
Hey y'all!!
So I've got a 1 year old rooster here that one of my hens raised (along w/ his two sisters).
My neighbor has given me a few eggs to hatch and those three were the ones that survived.
Long story short, we moved to another property and I need to figure out what breed this rooster is...
We got two hatchery assortments from Murray McMurray this year - 15 "All Heavies Male" to try several breeds for meat birds, and 15 "Special Assorted Bargain" to have a good time.
The birds are 4 weeks now, and it's been so fun seeing the variety. Some I have guesses on breed, but I have quite...
Hi ya’ll. On Good Friday I bought 6 chicks from TSC to put under my broody hens. All were labeled pullets. I got 2 buff Orpington, 2 blue laced golden Wyandottes, and 2 Americana EE. This particular one doesn’t look like any of the breeds I bought. I’m guess EE because they are mixed, but I have...
I have a lovely hen I hatched out who just turned 4 years old and I’ve been just guessing her breed)s) so she hatched out of a blue egg and she lays off white eggs. She’s super friendly i think her father was a silkie Cochin mix but I’ve only seen him I do have photos of him if that would also...
I’m 99% sure this is a cockerel. He’s about 5 weeks old now. At first I thought barred rock, but definitely doesn’t look like any barred rock I’ve seen before. Any ideas?
We bought 3 'premium' ducks from Tractor Supply. They were more expensive, but they had no idea what they actually were. They're all around 12 weeks old.
Theodore ^^^. She makes a high pitch squeak sound and waddles like a regular duck.
Simon ^^^ She stands up right like an Indian runner and...
So this is my 5 week old barred rock cockerel, he has a little spot of reddish brown feathers around his eye. Is this normal, something that goes away with age?? You can see it in the photo below
Any idea on breeds or gender? Thanks
#1 peanut butter is a 9week old bantam
#2 tiny cocoa is a 7week old bantam with feathered legs and feet
#3 snowball is 7weeks old and not a bantam
He is 5-6 months old. All other roos are long crowing and trying to mate. Have a few mm spurs, and long tails. This guy was the size of a 1kg bag of flour by the time he was a month or less old. But he is so timid and acts like a chicken still. Just wondering so i can decide if i keep him or try...

Hello I bought some new chicks from someone that said these weren't mixed silkies (or the very least they don't think they are) but one of them have odd (or normal?) feathering with barbicules that make me doubt the legitimacy. I'm not complaining as I didn't get them for breeding but I wanted...
Hey all, chicken newbie here. I have two chicks that hatched at my daughters school, they were born april 2nd (we got to watch our mystery chick hatch) and are now 8 weeks. One I'm pretty confident is a black star/sex link pullet, the other is ???? Sassy.
Sass started all yellow/white, and a...
We got this chick from tractor supply in the beginning of may. She was labeled as a midnight majesty maran, but as i'm looking at her she really doesn't look like my other midnight majesty maran chick. Could she be a black copper maran? She is also pretty skittish and isn't very friendly.
