Hello! I'm new to BYC. I thought I would share some pictures of my four hybrid chicks that are about 5.5 weeks old, so you can enjoy guessing their genders and breeds with me. Parents are all pure breeds, and chicks are hybrids. Chick 1: Breed: Blue Andalusian and Ameraucana (only chick I know...

Today one of my Hybrid hen goes free range for almost an entire day because I forgot to put her in the coop. And when I put her in the coop, she immediately sit on the nesting box. So I just wondering, can hen release a new yolk in the ovary if there is still an egg in her body?

My 19 weeks old hybrid hen poop watery! Is it normal? Beside pooping and puking, she seem fine and healthy. She eat, drink, lay an egg and walk around just like every normal hen does. Also, she use to puke water too. Ps. I live in the hot climate and the other hen that live with her seem fine...

So I got my hybrid chicken 2 weeks ago 1 of them is fine. But the other one is kinda weird. She often stretch her neck and I use to saw her vomit (only 2 time) and today she make a wheezing noice. Despite those symptoms, she is fine. She eat and drink normally and don't seem depress. Any idea...

During mating season the drakes plumage will molt from the brown you usually see on females, to the iconic green and white you typically see in pictures. He's not a juvenile, so do you think he could be a hybrid? Or is there some other reason?

Hi, I have this 11 weeks rooster. I'm thinking it's a silver laced / white columbian mix between a Cochin and a Wyandotte. I have other various mixes between different colors of cochins and that's why I suspect it's partially a cochin. Or maybe Brahma and Wyandotte. I'm not sure what kind of...

Before I start: This is all under the assumption that what I think I know is true, that silver is a dominant sex-linked trait, and turns gold/red color white. Hopefully that is true. I have a 12 week old pullet that is bred from an EE hen and a Lakenvelder rooster. All of her feathers are white...

I've got this cross in my incubator at the moment and I know it will be a sex link but I’m wondering if anyone has pictures of chicks or adults from this specific cross? I’ll add my own pictures to this thread when they are hatched but that will take a while!
