new hampshire red

I bought Ariel fully grown from a farm. The owner buys heritage breeds and doesn’t really ID her birds. I thought she might be Orpington but kinda looks like a New Hampshire Red. One of these eggs is hers and the other belongs to my Plymouth barred rock.

What gender do you guys think my beloved Betty is?she/he is 8 weeks old.

"Xena the Warrior Chicken" warming her tootsies on my partner's nice, warm head. Being a well-mannered chicken, she's also saying "hello!" on a cold morning...😁 (She's my only New Hampshire Red, in the beginning she "failed to thrive" and is now my best layer!♥️) Who else has funny pictures of...

Does anyone know what breed this is? I got 2 of these about 3 months ago, they were 5 months old when I got them. They still haven't started laying yet but the one in the first picture has started squatting so I think she is close to laying. The person I got these from said that they are Green...

Hi, I got her about a week ago. The seller told me she was about 5 months old. My old chickens started laying eggs when they their waddles were even smaller than this chicken. As far as I know, she has not layed an egg before after we got her. But I'm scared that it might be an old chicken that...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I raised chickens in rural Connecticut in the late 1980s, but stopped when I moved back to Chicago. I restarted the chicken obsession in 2017 when one of my daughter's school friends had baby chicks but had no idea how to care for...

Meet my New Hampshire Red, Clementine. I heard they are easy to tell the gender as chicks. Any guesses?

First off, never again will I get chicks all the same color! This years batch is all RED! I wanted to add chicks to my flock This year and my friend got these for me at the beginning of the pandemic They will be 7 weeks old Sunday and the sweetest things! According to my friend 2 are pure...

Hello fellow chicken owners. My mom recently gave me permission to have chickens and ready starting this amazing journey I'm planning on converting a shed into a coop & adding a large steeling wire dog kennel as a chicken run. I have been doing tons and tons of research and have learned a lot...

We have too many in our flock and need to downsize. New Hampshire red, buff Orpington, black australorp, silkies, bantams, Dixie rainbows... All about two and a half months old. In the Lee's summit/Warrensburg area.

I have hens/pullets of several breeds (Hamps, Wyandotte, a rock, an Ameraucana, and sex links). Our rooster is a silkie. If they were to produce offspring, what is the likelihood that the hens genetic aptitude for laying will offset the lower production of the silkie? Is it something that you...

Hey all, This is my first go round with raising chickens. These chicks hatched 17 weeks ago and I got 6 each, straight run Buff Orps, New Hampshire reds, and Silver-laced Wyandottes. I ended up with 4 BO & NHR roos, and 3 SLW roos. I let them free range but there are just too many and they are...

Hi all! My fam owned a pig farm and hobbied chickens for eggs and meat for our family and our community. We bred leghorns, cornish broilers and Rhode Island Reds. That was years ago but now Im back at it and currently have mostly dual purpose birds(2 NHR, 4 EE, 2 GLWyandotte) All 12 weeks old...

Any idea what I’ve got? I’m thinking the lighter two are hens and maybe the darker one with minimal black feathers, other two I haven’t got a clue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I grew up with horses, pigs, goats and cattle, but never had chickens. I am new to chickens and will be receiving a shipment from Meyer's Hatchery this week. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have 6 on the way. (3)...

These little gals are about 3 weeks old now. Lots of pretty little feathers coming in. 2 New Hampshire Red 4 Silver Lace Wyandotte

I have always wanted some backyard chickens, so last January my husband began building a coop and a run. By April it was finished so I went to the local feed store after researching which chickens I wanted. I came home on April 22 with a large barred rock, a tiny fluffy buff Orpington, a brown...
