mixed breed

I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

Seems a hello is the right thing here! My name is Cynthia, I live in WV and I currently have 5 chickens. Now I’m off to post some questions so here’s my oldest hen with a broken beak tip! (I promise she’s perfectly fine, just looking a little rough!)

Hello everyone! I'm starting to dream up some future breeds I want to create in the chicken world and one of which I need to produce a smooth feathered silkie. I'm wondering if a smooth feathered silkie is a genetic difference from the silkie feathering (if it just randomly pops out) or if...

Hey guys! I took in this little one from a friend because it was growing up alone :( Does anyone have any ideas what breeds it could be? I've never seen a chick like it, haha. Also, any idea about hen vs. rooster? I'm guessing it's about 5.5/6 weeks old. It's maybe just a tiny bit bigger than...

So I have a small flock, 11 chickens, 12 now I guess. 9 Barred Rock hens, 1 Buff Orpington hen, 1 Buff Orpington rooster, and now this little fuzzball named Nugget. My Buff Orpington hen, Elizabeth, was trying to hatch 3 eggs. She hatched 1 and abandoned the other 2 eggs. Looking at this chick...

Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

I'm trying to figure out if this chick is a silkie or silkie mix. What's making me think it's not a silkie is cause it hatched with light colored legs that have gotten darker over the past week. The legs are still a little yellowish green. The non-silkie hen I suspect might be it's mother is a...

hi there, new to this website. Last spring, Me and my family incubated and hatched our chicken's eggs to see what we would get. We got some chickens from a New Hampshire rooster and our Buff Polish hens, which my mom has dubbed, "Crested New Englands". I'm curious if anybody else here has bred...

Hello! I will be breeding a silkie rooster to a bantam brahma and a frizzle bantam cochin. The 2 non-silkie girls live with my silkies and I figured that since I'm probably gonna accidentally mix their eggs in with the silkie hatching eggs, I might aswell purposely hatch some chicks from them. I...

I have 2 white roosters with pea combs needing to be rehomed to a good home or farm. They are beautiful and sweeties. They come from a small farm, not a hatchery. They are not vaccinated, and have been fed non-gmo, non-medicated feed since received in the mail.

NPIP certified $8 for 14 $5 for 8 All birds are free ranged in the same area. The following birds are bantams: Silkies (2 males 6 females) frizzle crossbreeds (they get the frizzling from a Cochin)(2 males and 3 females) Nankin mixes (1 male 1 female) Cornishes (1 male 1 female) Phoenix (1...

I hatched 3 black silkie x isabella bantam brahma chicks. They're still very young (one is 5weeks, one is 4 weeks and one is around 2 weeks), but I have a feeling 2 are roos and the youngest will be a pullet. Still no way of knowing. Hoping for at least 1 pullet. If I get a pullet I really want...

Do you have a chicken that's half silkie? Let's make a thread where everyone shows off their beautiful silkie mixes! Please include a picture of your chicken(s) Add what breed is the other parent And any other fun information on your birdie

Got him from family. They have a ton of mixed chickens they have free ranging. Some game also. No leghorns though. He has a straw type color on hackle and saddle feathers. Any idea on what breeds he is? Thanks!!

This is Violet, a mixed breed hen that I have, idk if this is perfect silver blue, and I don't think it's genetically silver blue, but could it be considered silver blue?

Hello Friends Lets post the picture of your baby chickens Rules: Max-limit: 2 months old Mention breed name Here are mine Desi Breed And Australorp Desi Mixed Breed

Howdy all, I have three two and a half months old mixed breed chicks. I have sexed them myself a few times. But I’d like a second opinion. Here are the first two Bird one Bird two Bird three pictures coming soon

So I've been chicken sitting for my neighbor and let me tell you, the eggs are certainly fertile. Those poor hens are going bald from the rooster. Anyways, I was wanting to increase my flock and felt it would be wise to get an incubator and hatch some of these fertile eggs. Well, I went ahead...

Not for culling/meat please! All I want for my rooster boys is a nice safe home where they have a coop and run or space to roam. Won't attack people and have some free range experience. They go to bed in a coop with run at night. Born May last year. Mixed breed! Some have cheek fluff and...
