Pics taken today @ 3 weeks old Need help identifying gender and breed. I was told these are easter eggers, dark brahma and americaunas. Unsure if they are pure bred or mixed, either is fine but what do you guys think as far as what they favor more of? I don't know how to determine breed or...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, I’m brand new to chickens! I got my first flock last summer (2024) from Tractor Supply Co.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have 16 chickens: 3 roosters and 13 hens. I also recently hatched 4 chicks that...
so about three months ago i bought three orpington chicks, i didnt notice anything weird about them, but then one startet growing quite the hairdoo.
so i was wondering if anyone could tell me where this is an orpington or not, and in that case what else could she be? :D
Not sure I titled this correctly, but I have a lovely EE/Barnyard Mix hen who is reaching the end of her laying days. She is over 7 years old. I just hatched an adorable chick from her, but so far it appears to have taken all it's father's looks. Which I mostly expected, he is pure black.

Anyone know what breed this is?
Thanks for your help!
These two chickens hatched at the same time and look at the size difference!? We ordered the fertilized eggs on Amazon and have no idea what breed they are. This white one is TINY! Anyone know what it is or if we should worry about it’s small size? It almost looks like a different kind of bird!
Hi,

They'll be living in my back yard, free ranging and would ideally like them to be super...
Hey everyone! About two moths ago I got some chicks, two Reproductive Reds, two California Whites, And two “Plymouth Rocks”. The funny this is that the two Plymouth rocks I got certainty aren’t Plymouth rocks! They are very different, even different from each other! One is pure black with bright...
Hi! First of all i want to say i'm new to raising chickens, and i tried an experiment 7 months ago when i was hatching eggs in an incubator. Out of curiosity i put it in there 3 Farm house free range eggs that i had bought at Walmart. One out of three hatched and this is the result, but now i am...
