    What breeds would you recommend to add color and variety to my flock?

    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)...

    What gave him this color/pattern? what do I call it? Do you think he's pretty?

    This (11 wk old) cockerel is from a Jubilee Orpington rooster and a (maybe? mix?) black wynadotte/Orpington hen (last pic, she carries the mottling gene and has produced some black with white mottling chicks). He was very slow to feather, and his feathers are as iridescent as they look in the...

    What is this feather pattern/color called?

    I have this EE (sold as "Americana") who is just so beautiful! Is there a specific name for this pattern or colors? I've never seen anything like it!

I'm super interested in the patterns they carry and would love to learn more. One (Te Kā) I recognize the crest as a cream legbar mix but her coloring was not typical of the...

    Cochin Chicks - GL vs Partridge

    Hello All, I got three of these LF cochins from TSC. They are about a week old now. I am trying to discern the color pattern. I am starting to lean toward Partridge, but thought I would see what others think. Don't mind the random Silver Laced Wyandotte in one photo, the store had a min of 4...

    Sold as Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes…But Are They Really?

    I bought 4 straight run chicks that were sold as Blue Laced Wyandottes, but I am seeing two different feather patterns emerging! Are they the BL Wynadotte and it is just the male and female feather patterns? Or is it a different Wynadotte breed? This is my first time having Wynadotte btw 😀...

    What is the feather pattern named?

    I’m pretty sure she is an Americauna but I don’t know the name of her feather pattern. I want more like her (her sister passed away, she needs a buddy or 5) 😊 Any suggestions on the name, how to order or where to order live chicks like her would be greatly appreciated.
