    Please help Identify and Sex these sweet birds

    Hi, I picked up 6 lovely bantam chicks as a mother's day gift from my husband but we have no idea what breed they are, how old they are, or what sex they are (although I think they are all pullets). I have attached a few pictures. They are all the same breed I think. Two of them have legs...

    Colour variants in Coturnix quail?

    Hi all, Recently I posted about getting button quail eggs for the first time. It wasn’t until someone helpfully pointed out to me that the eggs weren’t that of button quail at all... I can only assume they are actually Coturnix quail instead (got duped in the purchase it seems). My mistake for...

    Mystery chick

    Hey everyone! Got my shipment of chicks in. I did have 2 pass away before they got to the store but I also got a mystery chick inside. I’m assuming it’s an Easter Egger chick. What do you’ll think. (Excuse the nails) Thanks!!!

    Poll: Welsummer or Light Brown Leghorn?

    Is my 4-week old baby a Welsummer or a Light Brown Leghorn? I believe I have narrowed it down to those two. She was chipmunk as a baby. I do not have another of these breeds for comparison. I know I should wait for her earlobes, but I am antsy! Thank you!! LizzzyJo

    Is this pullet a Cochin or Brahma?

    I see this is a fairly common question, but I've got a picture and anyone with more experience is welcome to school me! I'm leaning toward Brahma because of the big eyebrows, but I'm not sure if that's a pea-comb or not? Also the coloring seems lighter than I see on most... I've been raising...

    What are these insect(?) eggs?

    These round, white eggs appeared on my window a couple days ago. At least, I am assuming they are eggs. :confused: Does anyone know what they are from or what they will hatch into? They are very tiny (each less than a millimetre), and there are 47 of them. Here is the best picture I could get of...

    Rooster Identification

    I’ve had this boy for over two years now. I believed he was perhaps a Faverolle for the longest time but he doesn’t have the extra toe. What do you think he could be? A Faverolle or something else? His name is Crowe. He’s the sweetest thing. Never pecked or flogged us or my one year old. Never...

    What do you use to ID your birds in a flock?

    I have the Zip wing bands on my seven birds and think I'll add adjustable leg bands for an easier ID; those wing bands are pretty hard to read on a fully feathered bird. Additionally, I'm stamping the year into my leg band for an easier time aging. I'm thinking of using toe punches or different...

    Ducking Breed Help?

    We got 4 ducks from TS and they don't know breeds I would love help if anyone know. 1 is brown colored with darker brown feet tail and a mohawk I'm kind of stumbled by this one. 1 black and yellow with white butt (my guess was black Swedish). 2 yellow with pink feet and beaks (my guess was pekin).

    Breed help?!

    Received the brown egg layer bundle from McMurray and need help identifying the breeds. They are 5 weeks on Tuesday. Three of the chicks don't match any others, so I'm wondering if I got a few different exotics plus the brown egg layers. These pics are the three that aren't like any others. 1...
