    1 dollar chick mystery!

    Hi I need help identifying these chicks. They all look the same so I'm hoping it one breed. I had to buy 10 for that deal! 1 per chick, awesome right?! But now I'm stuck figuring out what they are. I'm between buff leghorn or buff orpington.

    ISO Home for 13 buff ducklings Chicago Area

    Anyone in the Northwest Chicago Suburbs interested in adopting up to 13 ducklings? We incubated them in a science class. Our original home for them backed out the day before we were supposed to drop them off. They are a week old today.

    Buff or saxony?

    I just got these three (along with some fawn&whites and pekins) from TSC. Can anyone tell the difference? A and B look identical, even if they're impossible for me to guess breed, but C looks different - is she not the same as them??

    How do I get Buff Leghorns using other breeds?

    Hello breeders, how are you? I live in Brazil, and here we don't have Buff Leghorns. We have the Breed Leghorns in different colors, but don't have the buff plummage anywhere. Since it's very difficult to import eggs or birds from another countries, I'm thinking about using another breed that...

    Does this look like a boy to you?

    This Buff Orpington came from TSC at the same time as the Wellbars and the Lavender and the other Buff. It grew a comb a week or two ago. We have 2 separate flocks at the moment. There are a group of hens living outside and a mixed group of sort of "teens", ducks, and chicks living together...

    Silkies gender game!

    4 week old silkies. 1 partridge, 1 buff, 2 white. Saw an article on U shaped combs vs V shaped combs to tell the gender (boy-U, girl-V) and it makes me wonder if you can tell earlier bc my chicks have very clear U and Vs at this age 🤷🏼‍♀️ might as well guess as we wait 😝

    Silkie sop buff hen

    Hey, could anyone help me determine the quality of my buff silkie hen? I’m new to judging birds but I think that she has a lot of really nice qualities. Probably not quite show quality but much better than any hatchery stock. On a side note does anyone know what colors I’d get if I breed her to...

    Red Silkie Genetics? Buff vs Red Genetics?

    Hello! 😄 I’m planning on working on a line of red silkies. It seems like there is a lot of confusion out there on the red/buff genetics, so I’m HOPING (🙏🏼🙏🏼) someone can shed some more light on how it actually works. My limited understanding is that buff genes have red diluters and red genes...
