    Sex-Linked Chickens

    I'm hoping to find some people to help me with sex linked chickens. Would a Cream Legbar x Barred rock hen make sex linked chicks? Any idea what they would look like? I'm hoping for colorful roosters. Cream Legbar x Delaware? Cream Legbar x Silver Laced Wyandotte? Cream Legbar x Columbian...

    Must see chicken brows! ...yes, BROWS!

    I had to share this! Every time I see this chick, I have to laugh! 🤣 Her eyebrows make her look so mean & it just looks too funny on such a cute little fuzzy baby. This batch of chicks has some very cute coloring, but I've never seen something like this! She has one on each side. lol Have you...

    Rooster or Hen

    Hey all! Looking to crowdsource some opinions here. This little one was hatched at the beginning of June so we’re coming up to the six month mark and I’m still not sure of their gender! Looks to be the offspring between my buff silkie roo, Peter, and a Delaware. No crowing, no Spurs, no mating...

    Delaware vs Columbian Wyandotte

    Tried searching for a breakdown between the two and didn’t find anything… so apologies if this is a repeat. What are the differences between a Delaware and Columbian Wyandotte (hen)? Visually they look very similar. I’m sure there are small characteristics that make it obvious which is which...

    Delaware and RIR Roosters - Batchelor LA

    Don't DM me telling me it's "normal" for Mr Delaware to be raping my 17wk old egg girls - he has to go asap before he gets himself shot. He's beautiful, he's a great rooster. I really wanted to keep him. He only crows once a day, then shuts up. He's very friendly, comes when you whistle, and...

    How to find specific breed Breeders?

    As I’ve been researching which DP to get for meat birds, I keep coming across people saying to make sure to buy from a breeder. It sounds like some hatcheries are good, but breeders (breeding for meat quality) should be better. I’ve searched on other websites and here on BYC, on Facebook and...

    I just got this Delaware rooster and plan to hatch chicks out of him later this summer or next spring. One cross in particular I’d like to try out is my cream legbar hen. She lays a nice blue egg, is a very productive layer, good size, and has an all-around great disposition for free ranging...

    Hello! I have a lovely 12ish week old pullet, Sophie, that I got about 6 weeks ago. She is a Delaware x White Leghorn from a gal who wanted to see what that cross would be like. Sophie has 3 brothers from the same mom and dad and I recently was talking to the girl I got her from and she's...

    City dweller with free-range backyard micro flock

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I raised chickens in rural Connecticut in the late 1980s, but stopped when I moved back to Chicago. I restarted the chicken obsession in 2017 when one of my daughter's school friends had baby chicks but had no idea how to care for...

    Hen or Roo

    This is my 15 week old Delaware Peckahontas. Isn’t that a sickle feather? No crowing but her comb & wattles are bigger than my other pullets (no other Delawares to compare to). And she/he is slightly larger than the other pullets I got at the same time.
