I have a handful of lavender orpington roo over cuckoo Maran chicks in my backyard. Some have a splash looking color, two have copper feathering coming in on the neck and one is all lavender (may have been from a lavender hen). What would you call their breed, or are they just considered...

My rescued Mallards were 3 weeks when I introduced them to a newly hatched Wood Duck. They were Not welcoming and chased and pecked at the tiny little guy. I acquired 2 newly hatched Muscovy to keep him company. I want all to get along so eventually they can roam freely.
To this extent, I...
Here’s my 12-week-old Easter Egger, Miss America. What do you think? Pullet or cockerel?
And, I know this is a long shot, but any ideas what it’s crossed with?
I've got this cross in my incubator at the moment and I know it will be a sex link but I’m wondering if anyone has pictures of chicks or adults from this specific cross?
I’ll add my own pictures to this thread when they are hatched but that will take a while!
After spending all of day 21 worrying that I may have had a 0% hatch rate (happened earlier this spring), day 22 brings new life! I am happy to say that I have 2 out so far and more are beginning to zip. 41 total eggs in the incubator, 39 chicken 2 turkey. So now we wait and see how many I get...
Howdy. I've been on here a ton over the last couple years but finally just signed up to be able to ask my big gender question.
We brought some hatching eggs home from our vacation in Maui and now have seven chicks. They are 7 weeks old this week. All the chicks are mixes and have either an OE...
I hatched out 4 columbian rock bantams. 3 are (somewhat) consistent with the breed standard and then I have this one??? I believe it’s a pullet, she hatched out light brown/ chipmunk. They are at 3 weeks now and her body is pied and 2-3 shades of buff/brown. And her primaries are pointy. Anyone...
I'm doing lots of hatching this year, and the breeding is all done here. With that being said, I would love to share what the chicks come out looking like!
My main Rooster is a Light Brahma. He's a big boy and is over my 13 hens which includes: Easter Eggers, GLW, White Leghorn, Buff Brahma...
Auguat is now 145 days old. 21 weeks old 4 months 23 days to be exact.
I have gone back and forth and gotten several strong opinions for why she is a he or he is a she.
August clucks puxks and purrs
August honks loudly like a goose.
August bellows out a creeky scratchy elevating squack...

My dad and I thought we were buying fertile Pekin eggs to hatch, but we hatched 2 mallard hens and a mallard/pekin? drake, named Roo. We already have 2 Perkins and a Swedish blue. Roo is the one on the righ and his sisters(?) are named Drake and Josh. Roo now has a nice full green head and most...
I'm not a chicken geneticist or breeding for anything in particular, just a curious hobbyist ... I hope I'm posting in the right forum :oops:
I have a few cream legbar eggs due to hatch anyday. I was thinking about the beautiful blue eggs I might get someday, when it struck me; I've hatched a...
In July, I had 3 hens surprise me w/ 15 chicks (I didn't think the eggs would hatch & left them for the broody hens) ! There was 1 black & one white Silkie, & a lg. black Australorp. Having gotten rid of a lg., nasty rooster some weeks before, I'm pretty sure he's not the dad. That leaves 1 buff...

She is my favorite baby chicken. She is a mix with a barred hen and speckled Sussex Rooster. You can see alittle specked in her feathers but she is all black even her feet and comb.
I'm incubating some eggs. My main Rooster is an Easter Egger and I have some EE hens, and a road island red hen and a Dominique hen, and I wanted to know what the mixes will look like as adults and if they will lay green eggs.
I bred a buff orpington hen with a (barred rock/silverlaced wyandotte mix) mix. And got some interesting results as one of them turned out yellow with 2 black spots on top of its head and the other black with a yellow face/throat. Here's some pictures of dad, mom and the babies. The other chicks...
