I got these girls a couple of months ago from a friend who couldn't remember what kinds of chicks she had bought. Now that they are all laying, I thought this group could help me ID them. The first picture is of the eggs they are laying, and the rest are several pictures of the birds, labeled to...
I have a question about my girl Bretta! I bought her at tractor supply during the summer and she was sold to me as a speckled Sussex. This would be my first ever time having one but from what I have seen Speckled Sussex chicks don’t really look like this. She has a lot of black around her face...
Hi,
I have a 15 week old chicken, supposed to be a pullet, from hoovers Hatchery. Was in a bundle of their colored layers pack.
She is such an interesting looking chicken with a kind of poof on her head. I'm trying to figure out what kind she is, any help would be so appreciated!

So this...
Heya! So I'm just looking for a second opinion on my baby here. Her name is Pidgeon and she's around 4 months old. I've been debating with my mom on whether she's a hen or a roo for the past 2 months 😅 We both agreed on her being a roo... but now I'm not so sure 🤔
I'm also wondering if anyone...
We recently allowed a broody hen to hatch some of her own eggs; she is a blue laying easter egger and the rooster sire is a cuckoo marans buff orpington cross. The chicks all look a little different from each other and I'm really curious to hear any predictions for their phenotypes. Also, if you...
This is Pumpkin. She is the chicken in the middle. We got her from a friend but do not know her breed. She is a little smaller than average size but not a bantam, I believe. I have done some research on the internet but the closest breeds I got are Basque Chicken or ISA Brown. She lays light...
I ordered a random mix of eggs from a pure breed seller who had put some of her birds in one pen, there is a large mix of breeds and she gave me a wide variety of colored eggs, White, Blue, Dark Olive, and Dark Brown.
As the chicks are growing (they are nearly 3 weeks old) I am getting some...
I purchased black stars, black copper marans and midnight majesty marans from the feed store. One of them turned out to be a rooster. Could you please help identify what breed the rooster is? He is about 16 weeks old.
Hi! I'm new here and this is my first post so please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong ☺️
This is my darling Olivia. I got her as a chick in March from my local feed store and she's an olive egger. I'm wondering what breeds her parents could be, just out of pure curiosity! What do y'all...
I recently had a hen go broody and I got some fertilized eggs from my neighbor. She successfully hatched 2 of them and they are now almost a week old! They are happy and healthy and living with the rest of my flock. I know one hatched from a brown egg and the other from a dark green egg. Does...
This is my Silkie Roo, Sesame. I wanted to ask what color he is ‘cuz I’m quite unsure and would he be worth breeding? I have a chocolate silkie hen and was wondering what colors I’d get if I did breed them together. If not, he’s still my baby and he’ll be in the pet pen.
Hello everyone, I recently found this community on Facebook and it seemed like a perfect place for a beginner.
Over the past few weeks, I have had this beautiful daily visitor to my property. I want to think its a rooster? I have no experience but it would be odd I think for a hen to wander...
Hello! I’ve posted several times over the past 4-5 months about these two buff mysteries and I still can’t decide what they are…breed OR gender 🤦♀️
They were purchased from rural king as “English orpingtons” 🙄 they are definitely not orpingtons. They’re absolutely gorgeous birds I just wish I...
Hello everyone!
I have this beautiful 9 week old baby (who I think is a pullet 🤔) but I have no idea what breed she could be. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
Hi all! 🙋🏽♂️
I want to breed my own olive layers. I currently have 2 Araucanas, 1 Easter egger that lays turquoise eggs and 2 Marans hens.
What would be the best cross to achieve olive eggs? Cross a Marans rooster with the Araucanas and Easter egger, or an Araucana rooster with the Marans...
I know I have a Silkie and a Turken...but Im lost on the others! So many breeds have the same coloring. The black & white one has furry feeties if that helps! (Also Im hoping they're all hens!) Thanks so much for any guesses :)
