So i just hatched three chicks from eggs i received from my neighbors and was wondering if anyone had any idea who the potential mothers could be in the chicks that were produced. All the chicks hatched from light brown/cream colored eggs. The possible parent breeds are as follow.

I have a pair of chocolate Maran pullets which look almost identical, I’d like to give them leg bands to tell them apart more easily but being Marans, they have lightly feathered legs. Does anyone know of a type of ring that would be suitable for feathered legs or some other alternative?
I bought 5 "assorted ducks" from the bin at TSC. I believe they are Khaki Campbells. The other ducks in the bin appeared to be Mallards or Rouen but I'm a newbie just now learning about ducks and chickens. I have had my ducks for 6 days and they have already more than doubled in size! I notice...
I just got an order or chicks and the hatchery gave my a free surprise chick with my order. What is this little guy? He is a bit smaller than the other chicks and I want to assume a bantam breed. Feathered feet and very cute
Hey it’s me again, I just posted some “mystery” bantams not too long ago, and I just now ended up with an additional one. I’d love to know what kind of bantam this is as well if possible.
We have fluffy legs, a near white belly, a very shiny silver head and back, with some yellow around a pale...
Hello! I just picked up some bantam chicks today, and the feed store owner when asked what type of Bantams they are just said “bantams” lol.
We have two that look cow print with feathered legs, and two that are a blue color with bare legs. I’d love to know what breed of bantams I just got if...
I bought her in an Atwood’s in Oklahoma. She is black and yellow and her legs and beak are spotted. She also has a little bit of hair that pokes up at the back :)
hi guys, recently this chicken appeared in my neighborhood, no idea whose it is. no idea of the breed or anything either. he/her appears sometimes, randomly. these are the best photos i’ve got! anything helps. it snuck into my yard today and my girls ran him/her out.
i almost want to take...
I was given this chicken a couple of months ago but the owner didn't know what it was. I assumed it was a Sapphire Gem as those seem to be everywhere now. However after comparing it to photos I have seen online I am not so sure. Sapphire Gems I have seen had yellow legs and feet and pale...
I hatched this from a lady who raises silkies. But I have a sneaking suspicion that with the smooth feathers and pink feet it's daddy is not who she thinks lol. The skin is a light grey but with pink feet and comb. Definitely has 5 toes on both feet. Any ideas? Is this just a random phenomenon...
I took in 3 approx 4 to 6 month old chickens that were being bullied by another flock. 2 of them are clearly Light Brahmas but this one she said she didn't know what it was. She thought it was an Australorpe but it doesn't look like one to me. Sorry for the poor picture resolution.
I'm getting my Rhode Island Red fertile eggs from a backyard poultry for a year now. Occasionally, due to understandable circumstances some fertile eggs of other breed are mixed. Last hatch a stray brahma was mixed, and now two strange chicks is mixed. The only breeders that could produce this...
Today i got four baby chicks from tractor supply. This one was supposed to be a straight run EE, but looks like a red jungle fowl chick. I’m not really sure. If it is a jungle fowl, can i return it? I added some pictures below. Thanks everyone :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention my tractor supply was...
Hello folks, bought this hen from a hardware store, labeled Americauna. She came out black and white with blue feet, but she's not a splash, she's not a blue, she's not wheaten, and I cannot find another one colored like her.
Ignore the sapphire behind her.
So naturally, I am here to ask the...
I just got these three chickens from my niece, whose class hatched them from a farm. I'd love to know breeds/genders (at least a general idea)
So far I'm thinking:
Red Sex Link Pullet
EE/Bielefelder cross Pullet
Bielefelder Cockerel
But maybe that's just wishful thinking? I've been wanting to...
We recieved him from a neighbor down the road who had two identical roos. The only details they had for us were that they were Bantams. He has clean feet, mostly black/shimmery green with speckled white feathers on his nape and down his back! Its also possible he's totally mixed so an...
Hi! I’m pretty sure this is a roo because of the comb size and colors compared to my other girls but I wanted to ask for a second opinion. Any thoughts? This is my first batch of turkens. Also long shot but any ideas with the silkie? *the cage is temporary, currently deep cleaning the brooder*
