Hello I bought some new chicks from someone that said these weren't mixed silkies (or the very least they don't think they are) but one of them have odd (or normal?) feathering with barbicules that make me doubt the legitimacy. I'm not complaining as I didn't get them for breeding but I wanted...
Do I have a Frizzle? Also, does the yellow one have standard feathers?! Did I get something other than a silkie here? (Total novice) About the chocolate colored one - I noticed the one baby has a bit of curl to her/his feathering! Since I’ve never had a frizzle of any kind, I am asking those of...
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...
