I know it's still a bit early to try to be determining sex, however I have seen some people say they can see a difference with this breed at about 3-4 weeks. These are splash isbars from Alchemist Farm and they are right around the 4 week mark, maybe a couple days older. If anyone has experience...
I have a white isbar/silverrudd named Snicket (they were lemony yellow when they were young) who I got in a mixed lot from Foxfire Farms Poultry (great breeder, highly recommend) and hatched in early May. I had posted previously here when I thought they had laid a fart egg, and I've had a couple...
So I posted awhile back about these pullets (hopefully!!) and I’m wondering if they are filled out enough to see any telltale signs of possible breeds? They are now 10 weeks old. I have determined that the Mother was a Blue Cochin (LF) and we are guessing the fathers were either a Black Frizzle...
Hello! I lost the gender lottery big time (only 2/10 pullets) - and can't keep 10 roos for 5 hens. All are UNVACCINATED from Alchemist Farm in California. Alchemist is the gold standard for free range, sustainable, organic, chicken-centered breeding chickens. Anyway the 2 Black Copper Marans...

This is my first year with any chicks that havent been sexlink production reds of some kind or already sexed pullets, so while I'm pretty confident about some, I'm nervous about my guessing!
There has been no crowing yet...
My Olive Egger is 20weeks... maybe 21, but out of the 8 I had, I was...
All birds are around 3 months old and have been vaccinated for MAREKS. At this point, we are quite certain they are roos.
Liege Fighter Roos (4) $50 each (Light-feathered large Roo in pics not for sale). These are a very large Belgian breed known to be docile toward humans, but fierce towards...
This baby boy is 9 weeks old. I hatched him after ordering eggs from Foxfire farms in Northern Idaho. I love this bird. He has been handled daily from birth. His feathers are already starting to show hues of blue, purple, and green in the sun. He came from a vibrant green egg. It is hard to see...
Cross posting with state forums and CL.
We are starting to be outnumbered by cockerels around here. All purebred and from very good lines. We are located in MA/NH...sorry, no, we can’t ship. If interested in updates pics of a certain one, please let me know. Looking to rehome the following:

I bought too many hatching eggs and need to sell some chicks. I have 8 chicks, 3 weeks old, and also another 10-12 due to hatch about May 7. Breed is Isbar/Silverudd's Blue. Chicks are black, blue, or splash. Straight run. The eggs cost me $6ea but I need to move the chicks out to make room...
I'm new to chickens after a 40 year absence. Forty years ago I raised about 100 chickens in Mentor, Ohio. It began as a 4-H project. Now that I'm semi-retired from the grape business I decided I needed another expensive hobby! I currently live in Kingsville, Ohio.
My focus is the Buckeye breed...
Anybody selling or know where to get a Isbar (preferably chicks) in Arizona, USA?
Reputable hatching egg recommendations are also welcome (offline or online).
They’re beautiful & fun, but I’m tired of the drama and want to go back to just hens. The two young roosters are getting old enough to really fight the established fellow, so I can’t keep them, and the top guy has decided my assistant is his mortal enemy, and she’s weary of the constant battles...
I am getting some Chiquita hatching eggs from a friend tomorrow. I don’t really know anything about that “breed” but I never turn down anything free and I was going to fire up the incubator anyway. :D Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with these chickens? Are they a “real” breed or...
I received 8 straight run chicks in the Spring and 4 of them are roosters. They are just 16 weeks old and I know now is time I should do something. I have two Isbar and two silver laced Wyandottes. I know who is the alpha but is that the one I want to keep. I also know who is at the bottom of...
