I have a goose, Abbi, who I recently posted about being sick (she's doing wonderful by the way) and I was wondering if anyone would help me solve the breed problem. Abbi was given to me by my mother's friend, who told me she's an African, about four or five months ago.
My mother told me that...
Just for craps and giggles. Any thoughts on what this guy is. Had some comments from a different post. Just gonna leave this here. Not worried about a definitive answer as we are not showing birds. Just find it interesting on people’s opinions and ideas. Not going to say what he was sold as.
I can find no recent information or research online regarding turkey pheasant hybrids. There are some historical articles, however, nothing seems to indicate the ability as of recent inquiries.
Well, here we have a turkey pheasant hybrid incubated from a egg we took from our blue slate hen. We...
I adopted this lovely rooster today. He looks like my Easter egger mixed with something. Gorgeous green in his tail feathers with a rainbow sheen in the light. Any idea what kind of mix he might be?
Hello! I would appreciate any input into sexing two of my mixed breed chicks. My 6 other chicks are quite clearly roos or hens, but these two have me a little perplexed. Thanks for your help!
I have a three year old mallard hen that proved multiple times she can sit and brood for a while, multiple times. This was before I purchased my new blue fawn call drake, I was considering letting my hen go broody on live eggs, thus breeding the two. Not completely sure I want to do this yet...
We are hatching a mixed breed of duck, the drake is believed to be a mix of Cayuga, Black Swedish, and Mallard. The hen is a Welsh Harlequin. Anyone know what their babies might look like?
So I’m a first time chicken owner! I recently was gifted 2 three day old chick(EE- they were top of my list but TSC was all out). I have 3 three week old chick(wynedottes) already. When would it be safe to mix them?
This is an appreciation thread for the mutts of the chicken world, including birds who were already there when you bought the place, 'free to a good home' off a CL ad, general mixed flocks, and fancy or experimental crosses, but ALL chickens are welcome, even your most fancy-top-of-the-line...
Does anyone have any Silver Leghorn Crosses? I have some males and just 2 females. Just wanted to know if anyone has crossed these or not because everyone usually has brown or White Leghorn Crosses. Any help or pictures would be very much appreciated!! Thanks!!
I’m a few months into chicken keeping and really appreciate the advice on this forum.
I’m at a crossroads: I have a backyard flock of 18 — looks like 6 boys and 12 girls. Most of them are a barnyard mix, some much larger than others. Four of the boys crow and two lay low. At least Half the...
Hi.
Can you tell me if these two mixed chicks are cockerels or pullets? The bigger one, with spots on the chest is around six weeks old and kinda looks like a pullet to me, even though in its first three weeks of life it looked like a cockerel. I think it's a mix between light brahma X silver...
I have 3 hatched silkie x barred rock chicks. I uploaded 2 pics if each. Do you know the gender? Will they have regular feathers?
Is mom a Barred Rock or Plymouth Rock?
The Black Hen and the Black and White one are both possible mothers. I have had SO much going on that I didn't pay attention...
I love barnyard mixes! They are so unpredictable and unique! Some people think they are a pain when they are trying to breed purebreds, which can be true, but I love them all the same.
So please join and chat with me about your mixes! This is your chance to brag! All mixed-breeds welcome...
I'm definitely keeping Firefly and Galinda, but am trying to decide which of the blue chicks to keep. I'm hoping for something built similarly to their father. (Not positive it's him, but suspect it is based on their dark skin (only a couple of my hens have this)... I know that's not a lot to...
I bred my ducklings for the first time, and noticed that when I breed my Peking’s and Kaki Campbell together the ducklings had 2 different patterns. I was wondering could the mix be an auto-sex breed.
The duckling with the spot was a hen an the one with the stripes was male .
Here is them...
I’m positive he’s a maran easter egger he loves to sit in my lap and he is very docile and friendly and sweet he’s a little bit shy sometimes he’s very pretty and colorful. I recently read more about the maran side and noticed that their very rare and that he fits the description of the French...
Hey All!
We have been proud chicken owners for a couple years but a few weeks ago decided to incubate and hatch eggs from our coop for the first time! We have one Rooster, an Ayam Cemani. We started with 6 eggs, so far 3 have hatched and 2 are Piping (at day 22). I would love any insight...
