I'm new to all this and I thought we had everyone figured out. My hens just started laying, so it's very exciting for me.
So I'm looking up which eggs go with which hen, color wise. I realize that my black langshan hasnt laid any eggs.
My dad has been saying for a while that Shadow was a boy but...

Ok. I have one local farm store I like for chicks but they of course carry only in spring for a short while.
I would like to order some in the year other than during spring for one month lol.
I have heard many hatchery names here on the site. I would like to know who you use and why. And where...
Hey y'all!
First, I'm on mobile so apologies if the format looks wonky.
I just picked up five new birds yesterday. The guys I got them from had probably a hundred young birds, bantam and LF, running around the yard. They said the birds were all roughly the same age, hatched from March through...
Wasn't there when picking up my babies who are getting bigger by the day, anyone know what breeds these are?! I am not entirely sure.
Thanks in advanced.
Hey everyone! This thread is for all who want to know the color of certain breeds’ eggs. Feel free to post pics of your prettiest eggs alongside the chicken breed that laid them. Maybe we’ll see some pink eggs!
Have fun! (:
This egg is from my Ameraucana hen, Cocoa.
Hi, I'm Aya and I have 5 bantams. I don't know all of the breeds, but I know one is a silkie (so if anyone wants to help me ID the rest I would really appreciate it). My profile pic is one that turned out to be a rooster, his name is 2Peck and he's my favorite. I am not technically allowed to...
I am from Rowlett/Rockwall, Texas but temporarily living in central Mexico. I have been searching everywhere to find out what breed my 7 week old chick is. I think it is a rooster. We have other chickens here where I live and I would like to find out the breeds. Here in Mexico there are so...

Hi all, I’m pretty certain that 4 of these are White Leghorn/Cream Legbar crosses, then the fifth one I’m totally unsure of!
Any idea of sex?
Also any idea of breed of the odd one out?!
I have a cream legbar cockerel, an Appenzeller cockerel, a pekin bantam cockerel and a serama bantam cockerel...
I need help identifying these chickens.
The darker brownish red one I got as a "sex-link" from my local Atwoods, and the 3 brighter redish orange chickens I got from a friend.
I just want to know what breed they are.
I will be receiving my Happy Homestead package (expected) on the 7th of may. I am curious if anyone else has got this package and what kind of variety they received!
Everyone has a favorite or two. I am new to raising and trying several. For many reasons. We want eggs. We want meat. We want some just to enjoy watching (pretty, unique, personality) and even befriending. Please tell me what your favorite breeds are and why. I will post the same question in the...
