Hello,
Back in March my wife and I got some more chicks to add to our flock. They were sold to us as California Tans from Hoover's Hatchery purchased at Rural King. Only one is actually tan the others are white.
Not sure if they're actually California Tan's. Look like possible White Leghorns...
I bought these a month ago from a lady with many breeds together , the possibilities are Brahma - Australorps - Silkies - Easter Egger - Marans & Orpingtons
I also bought the older black one from a neighbour who had only one ayam cemani Rooster and polish and Cochins so it's either a ayam...
Hello! I am thinking about starting a bantam breeding flock to breed for the standard of perfection and hopefully show stock eventually. If anyone has tips, articles to help me learn, or a breed I should start with that would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to bombard me with info!!
I might...
I know that the two are black sex links, I think the white one is the Easter egg and then there’s two that are brown and black, one of them is not in the picture she or he is in the other side of the yard.
I hope I got enough pictures that you can tell me if I’m correct. The black sex links, I...
We might be a little bigger than the average-sized flock, but we live in a rural community and have designated 1500 sq ft for our coop/run, all enclosed. And if we need to, we can make it bigger. With that size, we believe we can handle 150 chickens, and the question becomes how best to manage...
Have some roosters with this beautiful golden yellow color
I wish to get more like this but I don't know what breeds have this. Most of my chickens are mix breeds, with makes for beautiful bird variety. What breeds have this beautiful golden yellow?
I'm building an aviary for some wild duck species. I've done lots of research and will probably get some mandarins and ringed teal. Not sure about other duck species. I need ones that aren't too loud as I have neighbours right next door. Mainly dabbling ducks I'm looking at but may consider...
Total newbie here so please bare with me.
My property is 8 acres with a few relatively close neighbors. I have a decent size pond (maybe a 1/4 acre) that has a spring fed stream bringing in fresh water most of the year. The pond occasionally attracts wild ducks but they usually leave by early...
Hello everyone! So, are you looking into buying yourself your first chooks? Or are you just wanting to try some different breeds? Well today we will discuss…
• Should I hatch my eggs?
• Are chicks the best to start?
•Hybrids or heritage, which ones are worth it?
•Please note• Most if not...
So, I think I know who is laying the speckled eggs, but online searches are making me question myself.
I know it’s not my Silver Leghorn - hers are white.
I know it’s not my Ancona - hers are white.
I know it’s not my Blue Ameracaunas - theirs are blue/green.
I don’t think it’s my Golden...
Hi! I am looking for black mottled Brahmas. I am having no luck finding anyone near me that sell them. What breeds are mixed to get the mottled Brahma?
Sadly, Pit Bulls often get a bad wrap for being "vicious" and "aggressive" but after owning 3 myself and spending time around many, I am determined to help educate people about this wonderful breed. Please take the time to read this article to educate yourself and others about what Pit Bulls are...
Below are some photos of my current flock of 6. We just lost our RIR and are hoping to add 2 new hens to the flock in the fall or spring. I love having a variety of colors in my flock, while still keeping my other wants/needs in mind (non-broody, cold hardy, non-production layer if possible)...
Hi!
We was given a mystery chick with our 4h market chickens. Once they went to fair we got our new friend some other friends so he wouldn't be lonely.
Not new to chicken world but haven't had any in awhile.
Would love help with identifying type of breeds of our chickens, gender thoughts...
So I have this pretty baby… I do know she’s an Olive Egger, but what two breeds do you think she is mixed with?
She does have feathered legs/feet. Slate colored legs. Dark gray feathers except around neck. And it looks like probably a pea comb. She is about 8-9 weeks old.
TIA!
I've been getting into raising rarer breeds of chickens/poultry, so I'm looking for breeding pen/coop ideas. I have lots of groups/pairs I would like to keep separate so I was wondering if anyone had any info/ideas to help me out. I found a few double decker cage ideas online, which seem very...
Alright guys I need your expertise. I was told what breed these guys are but I am second guessing it. I am not sure the breeder sold us what they said they would. I will not tell you yet in an effort not to sway your opinion. But I will give you two hints,
1. They are *supposedly* pure bred.
