    Mixed flock

    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...

    Which breed of rooster is this?

    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...

    Mystery Chicks!! Help me decipher what they might be :)

    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...

    Mystery from purchased hatching eggs. What did I get? Please help me identify this.

    I was told there may be barred rock, Brahma, zombie, Cochin, Wyandotte or Easter eggers in the hatching egg lot.

    Silkie Color question

    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.

    New to BYC- Seeking Opinions

    Still can’t figure out what these birds are!!

    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...

    Get a Marans or an Araucana rooster for Olive layers?

    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...

    What Breed are They?

    Hi, meet Velvet and Oreo. I was wondering if anyone experienced with chickens can help me identify them. We hatched Oreo and Velvet from fertilized eggs that we got from a farm located in Innisfil, Ontario, Canada. That farm has hundreds of chickens that lay all sorts of eggs (White, Brown...

    Gender and breed?

    We brought home 6 chicks that my sons class hatched and have been waiting to see what sex they turn out to be. I thought Pecky was a cockerel bc of the way he or she kept squaring up to the one that is for sure a cockerel, but now looking I don't see the saddle feathers growing in the way I...

    Breed ID for new chicks? Sexing too early?

    Bought a coop for our two 5-week-old chicks off a local farmer and they offered us to take some of their day-olds also. As tempting as it was to take a bunch, we decided to add just two to our flock since we are worried one of our older chicks could end up male (😞) leaving our other one alone...

    Pullets or cockerels? And breed identifying. Thanks!

    I am a first time chicken owner. I recently got x7 day-ish old chicks sexed as hens from Orchard Ridge Farm in Gorham, Maine. I am not positive where they source them from, but it is a local hatchery in the north east. My order *should* have included the following, but I am not so certain that I...

    Pullets or Cockerels (Hen/Roo)? 4.5 weeks old... Dark Brahma?

    Brand new to this! Can anyone more experienced help me determine if these 4.5-week-old chicks are female or not? Unfortunately, I won't be able to keep Roosters where I live. Bonus if you could tell me what breed they are! :) As you can see, they had almost identical "chipmunk" patterns as...

    What breed are my chicks? Help.

    Since it’s a heatwave right now I thought it would be the perfect time to try to raise chicks outside. I went to TCS today and they have these labeled as pullets but they didn’t have their usual signs on what their breed actually is. I think I have two brahmas, a orpington, and black sexlink...
