Hey, so essentially as the title says, could anyone help identify what breed this is? I got a dozen eggs from a friend of mine and all the other chicks are black and brown but this is the only chick that's this differenr from everyone.
Hi,
Can anyone help me figure out the breeds of these chicks?
I just picked them up from the post office today. They are from Hoovers Hatchery and are listed as their Assorted Colored Layers. Supposed to be all females.
This is what they say could be in the mix: Americana, Olive Egger...
so this is Husk. She’s about 17 weeks old now and I still have no clue what she is. Her sisters are clearly a serama and a cochin, but husk looks like neither. Any ideas? Her wattles are tiny compared to the other two, her comb is small and black. Eyes are very dark, long legs but not too long...
I impulse bought these three chicks a little over a week ago at Tractor Supply. They were labeled assorted Bantams. Im still pretty new to chickens but I’ve tried to do some research and I have a guess that the brown one is a partridge Cochin but I’m not sure. Both of the darker ones have...
This was supposed to be a lavender Orpington but we could tell early it was a hatchery mixup. Now these copper colored feathers are starting to appear I’m starting to wonder if we have a blue copper maran or some sort of mix. What do you think?
Hello BYC fam,
I hope I am posting on the correct thread because I have 2 separate yet intertwining questions.
Question #1:
I was wanting some recommendations on good egg layers to add to my small flock.
I currently have 2 Rhode Island Red Hens and 1 Rhode Island Red Rooster… now that may...
So this baby is suppose to be a GLW. But s/he has whitish colored tips on the feathers. Any ideas what s/he is exactly? I’ve never had Wyandottes before.
TIA
I got this chicken a couple months ago, with three other silkies. She has black feet, a black beak, and five toes. When she was younger she looked exactly the same as the silkies, and then lost the fluff. Until 2 months ago she had fluff on her neck as well. Does anyone have a chicken similar to...
I bought 6 sappire gems and four look the way they’re supposed to and two look completely different. All were black and just started getting this white on their necks. Included are pics of them and also pics of the regular looking sappires beside. Could these two be roosters? I got all 6 as pullets.
We got this rooster from someone who couldn’t have them. They got chicks and one was a rooster, they couldn’t remember the breed. He has random black splats on his tail feathers but is other wise blonde. TIA
I got them at TSC. The first two were labeled at Bantams. The last two were labeled as Orpingtons but they have feathered feet. They actually all have feathered feet except the first one.
Hi BYC family!
I am looking to replace my rooster (my sweet Randy was lost to a raccoon about 2 weeks ago) I live in an area with HEAVY predator pressure - main offenders are owls, hawks, foxes, raccoons, and coyotes. Since Randy died, I’ve already had 3 hens get eaten by a Fox 😣
So I’m looking...
I would be grateful for a little help in identifying this cutie. I got her yesterday from a neighbour who is in the egg industry, so I think she's probably a dark campbell, but is it possible she could be a cayuga? I'm not at all fussed, just trying to educate myself on breed identification.
Hi All! Very new still, here & raising chickens lol. I am curious to know what your favorite breed is? I understand each one has it's own personality, but just overall. I currently have lavender orpingtons but I really want to get another breed that just sticks out. Thanks!
I got 2 White Sport Legbar pullets from TSC not too long ago and I would like to know what exactly a White Sport Legbar is? Is it any different from a White Legbar?
