    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...

    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...

    Any idea what breed this is?

    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...

    Anyone know what breed these chicks are?

    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...

    Could my 9 week old be a blue copper maran?

    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?

    What breed is this chicken? Silkie mix

    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...

    What breed are these?

    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.
