I got these babes 6 days ago in the evening. They haven’t had a roo since being here but had one at their old home. I have an incubator arriving tomorrow. So far I’ve only got one egg that hasn’t been refrigerated. I want to hatch out babes as I can’t have another roo so won’t be getting a...

Hi all! I recently acquired this frizzle, or frazzle hen about 1 week before this post date.
I was hoping some her might be able to help me determine whether or not she may be a frizzle having a rough molt, or if she is, indeed, a frazzle.
None of her feathers break off when we handle her, she...
Any ideas on genders? They are 5 weeks old. I know it's a bit too early but I need to know which chicks I can get attached to...
Darwin is my chamois frizzle. S/he has a flat but round crest. The under-beak is still pink. I've always wanted a chamois polish so I really hope for a girl...
Howdy BYC!
So I've got this awesome Serama rooster named Blue who is absolutely gorgeous now but wasn't always so...when he molted his down and started getting his juvenile feathers, he had a few bald patches and was kinda scraggly looking. It's my understanding and experience, however, that...
So one of my SLRW feathers are coming in a bit different than my other 2. I have no experience with frizzles but could this be what it is? Or just wonky baby feathers coming in? She is a sexed pullet from Cackle hatchery. Hatched on 6/1/2021
Has anyone bred a Tolbunt hen to a white silkie rooster?
I specifically have a frizzled Tolbunt that I would eventually like to breed to my white roo. I have read that this can result in smooth, frizzled or sizzled chicks but I’m wondering if the color will stay true or if I’ll lose all Tolbunt...
Hi! I have an affection (addiction) to hatching. It’s become my hobby and, in sorts, part time job as a stay-at-home mother. I specifically breed Ayam Cemani, silkies and polish - but also have dabbled in others. I just recently acquired khaki campbells and started hatching them as well. I’m...
Thanks for allowing me to join. My name is Deborah and I live in south central Washington. Since I started cutting down on my livestock ie horses and mini cattle, and I got a hatchery catalog in the mail, I have turned my interest to chickens. The chicken breeds I went for were salmon faverolle...
Hi! I know the cream legbar is a pullet, but can you please help with the 2 frizzles and the mystery bird? Are they all girls? The orange one is most assertive, smart, friendly. The little yellow one is a bit younger. Hoping for all girls!
We have some Turkens we hatched last week, of the 9, one was a Frizzle.
We wanted to breed for showgirls, so we got 6 Silkies.
If we breed the Frizzle Turken with a Silkie, what would we get? (Turkens all have bowties).
Our goal is Showgirls, and Sizzle Showgirls.
How would we go about...
I just got a pair of sizzles and one is acting weird. He sits with his head low and won't walk. His sister is running around healthy as can be but he rarely takes even a step and it is usually backwards. maybe heat stroke? he was panting in the car but it wasn't that hot and his sister was fine...

Covid (he was sickly when we got him): Partridge Cochin Bantam Rooster
Timmy: White Bantam Silkie Rooster
Riley: Barred Cochin Bantam Rooster
Percy: Blue Bantam Ameraucana "Hen" (I think he's a rooster)
Regina: Dark Brown(?) Standard Ameraucana Hen...
Looking for BCM, Polish, Cochin, Wyandotte, Silkie, frizzle, and some standard egg layers like RIR.
Wanting pullets. I live in the Okanagan. Willing to drive, or possibly pay shipping.
I hatched a dozen chicks and I got quite a few non-frizzle pullets. They'll still have colorful eggs though, and their genetics include Ameraucana (black and white splash + blue eggs) and Black Copper Maran with deep chocolate and maroon eggs. They're from local breeder Open Gate Farm's large...
Hi, I'm Annie. I'm a suburban hobby "farmer" in the South Coast region on Massachusetts, near Providence RI.
Q/A List:
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I first got chickens about 10 years ago--a mixed flock of Easter Eggers, Australorps, and Naked Necks free...
