I currently breed D'uccles but have taken a friends splash polish in because she wants some chicks and I have a polish roo. My question is what chicks would we get from a white capped black polish rooster and a splash polish hen? Can anyone explain the genetics and possible chicks we could get...
Hey all! Any idea the breed of this duckling from TS? I'm assuming probably Pekin but the dark head and backside give me pause that maybe she's something else? Just would like some input from those with more breed expertise.
Thank you!!
hello, i’m back with an update on Noah, our mystery chick!
i’m looking for any advice or opinion on what breed Noah could be?
i should note that she was selected from a Black Australorp bin.
her coloring is a smidge lighter in person.
she is most assuredly grey and not black.
thank you in...
A few months ago I got 8 pullets and this beige one is the funniest looking one. I am curious what she might be. Her egg color is a very light brown with almost pinkish color. Also I have what I believe to be a white leghorn but she’s laying cream colored eggs is this a thing?
We had some chicks be left on our door step AND we have a bantam bundle we ordered from Cackle. I need help figuring out their breeds, they’re small so I’m sure it’s still too hard to gender them, but if you can I’ll appreciate it!
Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...
hello!
i recently brought home a chick a week and a half ago from my local feed store — she was in with the Black Australorp chicks but, from the get go, she didn’t look like that to me.
attached is her picture.
she’s grey with black and is now developing copper flecking on her wing feather...
Hello! We just picked up these little ones last week, so they hatched about 4 or 5 days ago. The two with the chipmunk stripes should be easter egger, but we're not sure about the gray. The primary feathers came in white, but the new ones are light gray.
The breeds on offer at the time were...
Just picked these up from Bomgaars (like Tractor Supply). Labeled as “Hatchery Choice Layers”. They’re brand new babies so I don’t know if it’s too early to get a good read but I’m down for some guesses!
Pictures are as good as I could get without holding them lol jumpy things. Orange is pretty...
He comes down to see my girls and while my two old hens don’t lay anymore I just got eight chicks and I want to incubate their eggs in the future so I wanted to know what he is if he ends up fertilizing any future eggs. I’d ask my neighbors what he is but they live down the road from their barn...
My sweet ducks were purchased last spring from the Cayuga duck bin at a local Tractor Supply.
I know that ducks can be pet quality etc. But I have a feeling my male is not full Cayuga. I mean, maybe? These are my first ducks! I am hatching there ducklings are black, black footed (so far), and...
Hi everyone!!
I need some help with the gender of 4 chickens that I have. All of them are about 1.5 months old. Pictures included, even though they strongly disagreed with having their pics taken haha. I know the breeds of 3 out of the 4 chickens so I will post them along with what sex i think...
Mostly black feathering with brown stripes in the wing and neck, gray legs (no feathers and four toes), pink-ish skin around the eyes and fluffer head!
Trying again… supposed to be barred rocks but they look different from eachother
The one on the (Left) with a light comb, has light toes.
Pictured below.
The one on the (Right) with a dark comb, has darker feet.
Pictured below.
Thoughts? They are 3 weeks old today.
I think this is my free chick from Murray McMurray. They will throw any of the breeds they hatch in as your free chick, Langshan seems to be the most promising option based on their website. It's definitely a cockeral, just not sure about the breed yet. Hopefully, I captured all the important...
I bought this chick (“Nugget”) from Rural King. I was told she was a Buff Orpington. But as she grew she looked nothing like one. Then when her and my other new hens started laying the mystery deepened. I got her at the same time as my Ameraucana who lays green eggs. She is my only chicken who...
Last year I got several different chicken breeds from tractor supply, but I don’t remember what kinds I got. I really love this one and I’d like to get more of this breed, but I have no idea what she is. Thank you!
I got four grey chicks from a feed store about two and a half years ago. They are supposed to be pure bred chickens and for the life of me I can not remember what breed they are. They are all this color. Two have lightly feathered feet/legs and the other two do not. But all same coloring all lay...
