Hello Everyone! I have a bit of an odd question to ask, and Google hasn't been very helpful. I had a broody hatch out a few chicks on July 1st, and this one is a standout. It's parents are a salmon favorelle mom, and a brahma/RIR/americauna dad. I was excited to see the extra toe from the chicks...
Hello all!
I've had chickens for about 5 years now, and over that time I've had a few of my girls go broody. My last rooster had a horrible temperament, so I never let my girls stay broody. My current rooster is a sweetheart, so we decided this year that if any of the hens go broody, we'd let...

This one above i believe is pullet the one below i think is different breed/gender
Hi! I'm new on Back Yard Chickens. I love this website, and I come here whenever I have a question (which is what I'm doing now)!!!
I recently got 3 new chickens, two of which are Salmon Favorelles, Miss Blackbeard and Suzy Lou. Suzy has no beard, and her face doesn't have many feathers on it...
