Hi! I am looking for black mottled Brahmas. I am having no luck finding anyone near me that sell them. What breeds are mixed to get the mottled Brahma?
So my Russian Orloff rooster mixed with 3 of my chickens and my broody silkie/Easter egger mix hatched them in the spring. They turned out so pretty! Haven’t seen a lot of Orloff mixes posted here so thought I’d share some pics.
Ended up with a Delaware / Orloff who is huge, Copper Maran /...
Hi,
These guys were supposed to be cuckoos, due to the feet coloration we are thinking more barred rock, but I was told due to some of the coloration they don't appear pure bred and are probably mixed.
Most from TSC, red banded chick is from rural king. Around 8 weeks old as of Yesterday...
Hi y’all, I wanted to get everyone thoughts on these two babies. I asked way to early in the game 🥴 rookie move. Here are the feathered babies now
I think white is light Sussex ? Black black Orpington? 🖤
Hi all! So a random white leghorn showed up at my house. I have red and black sex link hens. I decided to hatch a few. I jave 6 Lil yellow fluff balls. Any one had this mix? Any photos?
We have coturnix quails. We'll be introducing the new quails to our outdoor run/coop as soon as they're old enough (right now they're 5 weeks old) and since they'll eventually be sharing the same food with the older quails, I'm wondering what they can ALL eat? The only feed store near me is...
i have a mixed pullet and so when i was going to open them up and feed them i saw olive in the nesting box but a hen already laid in there olive pushed the egg aside and made herself comfy why did she push the egg away??? and how close is she to laying?
Ok, I have two roosters, a Red Phoenix and a Rhode Island Red(I keep them in separate coops). I also have 3 hens, two RIR x SLW, and one California White. I was wondering what I would get by crossing some of these breeds. Like what would I get if I crossed the RP x CW? Or the RP x (RIR x SLW)?
Hello All,
So I have a question.
If a mosaic hen (possibly mixed idk w/ what is she is even mixed but for sure part mosaic as I bought mixed eggs from someone) crossed with a male Salmon faverolle would the chicks come out with blue/greenish legs, beaks and skin like the hen did when I hatched...
So I'm new to BYC and I have a post already going about my Twin duck egg over here : https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/twin-ducklings-in-1-egg-what-should-i-expect.1419696/ which is included in this clutch of hatch-a-long ducks :) I will be updating this top original post with the...
All just turned 4 months old and I'm guessing based on their tails that they are all roosters. Can anyone confirm?
Different angle of the fella shown above:
Thanks!
Hi everyone! Sorry if I am not posting in the right thread, I tried to find one more suited to my question but this was as close as I could find. Anyway, I have a cuckoo lemon orpington & leghorn mix rooster. I have a rhode island red, Plymouth barred rock, easter egger, Golden Laced Wyandotte...
So I am totally new to geese, but not new to poultry... have had ducks, chickens, and turkeys in the past. Came back in strong with 24 ducks, 6 bantam chickens, and 10 Embden x Toulouse goslings... now these 10 goslings are mixed and I have no idea what they might turn into , and I was hoping...
Hello this is my first post to the forum, but I've found many answers to my questions here over the last 3 yrs that I've been keeping chickens. Thank you all for stewarding such a useful forum. I raise chickens for eggs only right now, mostly for my own consumption and give a dozen away to...
I want to know if anyone has continuously crossed equal part chicken breeds. Like for example, a white Leghorn x Rhode island red cross with an buff orpington x barred rock, creating a 4 way cross. Then breeding that with another 4 way cross of different breeds. If anyone has pics that would be...
Hello! We recently raised 11 chicks and unfortunately ended up with 7 boys, so we have 6 cockerels around 4 months old that we are looking to rehome. They were all raised together and handled daily, so they are very friendly to people and each other, and I suspect could be kept together in a...
So these are from a feaathered leg collection. Im thinking they are different duccles and brahmas but wondering if anyone thinks any are cochins, besides the obvious frizzle in the group.
I think they are mostly porcelain duccles because, they have puffy cheeks, do cochin chicks have puffy...
Hi all :)
It was suggested that I post in here when August is 2 months old.
But I was curious to see what others ideas of the result could be.
Today August is 32 days old.
The yellow hatch-mates are already fully feathered. August seems to be about a week or so behind them in development, but...
