Hello! I was hoping I could get help with IDs on some ducklings from TSC. They are about 2 weeks old. I attached some (not so good) group photos from today and some better quality photos from a week ago.
TIA
Just picked these up from Bomgaars (like Tractor Supply). Labeled as “Hatchery Choice Layers”. They’re brand new babies so I don’t know if it’s too early to get a good read but I’m down for some guesses!
Pictures are as good as I could get without holding them lol jumpy things. Orange is pretty...
I came home today and one of my chicks having a large soft "mass" located just under her beak down to crop area. It doesn't seem to bother her or cause pain. This is my first time keeping chicks so I want to make sure it isn't something I need to worry about.

I am having a hard time to identify the color on my 6 weeks old DNA Sexed pullet who came from a Silkie Bantam breeder’s BBSWP [Black, Blue, Splash, White, Paint] in the same pen.
I am including her day one old photo and 6 weeks old photo. I’ve had some people tell me that she may be a Splash...
Hi everyone! I recently bought three bantams from a frizzle bantam mix at our local Co-op. Two of the three are starting to get their big feathers in, do they look frizzled to you? I attacked a picture of the third one just in case, but I think it’s too early for s/he. I know they have about a...
Hello everyone! I’m new to BackyardChickens and this is my first post! I’ve been learning a lot by reading through the threads here. I’m also new to raising chickens and recently started looking for Kikirikis.
I found someone selling a rooster on Facebook and decided to buy him. Then, wanting...
I got these from Tractor Supply. They were supposed to be Is a Browns. I'm not familiar with the breed. However, they look just like the Rhode Island Reds I used to have. Not sure if they are Is a or Reds.
My brother and his friend found this young bird in the street (did not appear to be injured or limping, it ran from them very quickly) and asked me to identify if it was a hawk or chicken. I’m positive it is not a hawk and is a chicken (or at least some domestic poultry as it was fairly calm in...
Hello all,
I was hoping someone could help identify the breed of this beautiful chicken of mine, she/he was sold to me as a day old Rhode Island Red however I don’t quite think this is correct haha
Any advice you have would be very much appreciated.
Also for anyone interested the name is...
Evening everyone, I’ve been on here getting some well needed advice from many of you seasoned chicken keepers, this is my first and probably last hatch. I sincerely don’t know how you guys do it. My hat goes off. I have a few eggs we decided to hatch from a farm but we haven’t any idea what they...
I'm going to attempt to keep this as short as possible to start. We have 9 hens currently. I was taking my daughter to work and at the bottom of our hill was 42 chicks spread all over the road. My guess is they were right around 4 weeks old. Someone obviously dumped them and it was only minutes...
My friend found this nestling sitting outside all day. There’s no nest around and it seems dehydrated. I was thinking this is either a robin or starling. The only feather it has are almost black in color. Any ideas?
Can anyone help identify what type of chicken this is? We found it waking along a main road and have taken it in. It also has a large lump on one of its wings that it keeps pecking and making it bleed, we are trying to keep it clean but not sure what it is. Not sure what to do!
Hi there,
Can anyone tell if this is a rooster or not? It is about 5 to 6 months old now. It has not crowed yet but based on pictures I see online it looks more male than female. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi All, I am a new chicken owner. My family of four built a coop and acquired 6 young chickens (city limit). We were hoping for laying hens, but I am worried 4-6 of them are roosters. Now I’m trying to figure out how to rehome the roosters as they are illegal in the city 😩.
We know one for SURE...
Okay, here are my two bantam chicks that I’m trying to breed identify. What do you guys think?
my guess for the first one is a buff Brahma, but my friend swears it’s a d’uccle. What do you guys think?
