    What breed is this chicken?

    Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins. And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?

    Chicken has had diarrhoea for a few weeks.

    Hello, new to BYC, I'm looking for advice on one of my hens, I've noticed for a few weeks that her droppings have been very watery. She is the only one with this. The flock was dewormed recently and doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, just droppings that are mostly normal in color, just...

    12wk Hen or Roo??

    Is this 12wk old a pullet or cockerel? Not showing any rooster tendencies at all, no crowing, not dominant. Acts more like a pullet by being a bit more shy, my other roosters at this age were friendly. The comb/wattles are larger than my others.

    Unsure once again

    I’m 99% sure these are the same breed, and they were sold as hen chicks. I was on here before, but now I just can’t tell.

    Broody hens with leg mites - When to treat ?

    Hello friends, I need some advice. I have two broody hens sitting on two fertilised eggs each, which I gave them because I don't have the heart to break their brooding, especially because one of them is 10 years old. They still have 10 days to go till the eggs hatch. Problem is the flock has...

    Pullet or Cockerel?? 10.5 weeks Mystic Maran. The black comb and wattles are throwing me off. This one is larger than the others. My husband said he heard a little one trying to crow and I’m trying to figure out who the culprit is 😂 Someone also told me that Mystic Marans do not have black...
