We got these first two chickens on March 11th from Wilco so they should be nearing 11 weeks if I did the math correctly
For number 1 my best guess is that it’s a she and some sort of OEGB, could be wrong really hoping she’s a girl though she’s my favorite and is pretty smart and curious. She’s...
Hi feathered friend enthusiasts!
A chick that I am raising for my neighbor was listed as a Barred Rock, but is much smaller than her siblings, and also has different coloration. My neighbor picked her up at TSC.
I’ve been watching her closely to make sure she’s not sick, but haven’t noticed any...
I’m just stumped on this one, I was thinking a splash silkie but the more feathers it gets the more I think otherwise. Do y’all have any Ideas? I’m super curious
Picked up 3 (supposedly) SGE from tractor supply. All supposed to be female from Hoover Hatchery. I have one (first picture) that keeps trying to square up with me. They are four weeks old now and two have crests? Did I get Partridge type SGE, or OE… and is this “lady” trying to square up with...
I have two chestnut looking rabbits but can’t find any definitive answers by myself. Sold as American. Attached pics of them and offspring. Babies are just to show how cute they are!
I bought eggs off etsy and the listing was for "rare blue fawn and other mixed variety breeds". I was wondering if anyone can assist with breed identification.
If it helps, my observations are that I have:
1 yellow with ginger stripes chick
2 yellow with silver stripes chicks
1 yellow with...
Hello! I was hoping for a bit of help with identifying the breed of my ducklings.
After lots of googling and comparing cute duckling photos to my five babies, I'm a bit stumped about which breed I have here.
I did some research about the rescue where we got the eggs and these are the breeds...
Hey all,
Ended up with three of these guys in last couple of days. Were either abandoned or parents were killed have come from farming property. Unsure of breed but looks like photos of Egyptian Gosling however they are definitely not local to our area. (Sa, Aus)
Would anyone be able to...
I bought an assortment of chicks at TSC a few months ago and this one was labeled as a Sapphire Gem, which it obviously is not. I have another that looks exactly the same. Thoughts on breed? Maybe Welsummer? They are 7 weeks old.
PS- Excuse their messy holding box while their pen is cleaned out!
I found this single egg inside a fairly large chicken coop with no other types of birds inside. it is a enclosed coop, so the only kinds of birds EVER inside are miscellaneous breeds of chickens and black birds that are able to fly in. They look like the kind of birds that hang out in like...
Hey all, I have a question! It might be a dumb question but I’ve never raised Mallards before so I have no idea.
Basically, I bought three mallard ducklings from the local big brand feed store. I wasn’t going to buy any ducklings this year as I already had some hatch, but they were the last...
Ordered assorted purebred bantam from Cackle Hatchery! The shipment just arrived and I need help identifying some of them. I know I got some porcelain D’uccles but other than that I’m not 100% on the rest.
Group 1 all have feathered feet, and muffs or beards
Group 2 clean feet and no muffs or...
Hello! I have my suspicions about this chicken, currently called Annabelle- do you think this is a cockerel or a pullet? The breed is BBS Orpington and the age is about 11 weeks old. Thank you!!
I know it's almost impossible to tell unless they're laying but these are my first silkies, could anyone give me their guesses on gender? I'm betting the red comb is a roo and probably mixed considering it has pink feet too. There are 2 pictures of each, 4 birds total. Thanks guys! ❤️
I was told the bigger chick is an Easter Egger and that the tiny one is a Serama. Im questioning the breed of the Serama. This is my first go at chicks; I usually get ducklings. What would you say the breeds are?
TIA!
Hello, i have a new little one that just popped out of its olive colored shell. I know it is a barnyard mix and that the rooster is a maran and the mother was some type of easter egger but i am confused about some of its traits already! Mainly, it has 5 toes! I was under the impression that...
Hello random internet people, my name is pok! To you I'm a random internet person too but I'm hoping that one of you will be able to help me.
In the place where I'm currently living, there are people who sell incubated baby chicks in big batches. Basically profiting off of their cuteness by...
I tried toe-punching for the first time this year on my five hatched chicks at one week old. Today I noticed two of the cockerels, now nine weeks old, have a split where the hole should be. They are bound for the pot so it won't mess up my system any, but any advice on how to prevent this?
I...
