Got this lady from TSC, and she is supposed to be a barred rock, was black with a white dot as chick, but looks nothing like my neighbors. She is 17/18 weeks old. ,
Any thoughts?
Hello ! so I got these 5 birds back in May and now they are 15 weeks old and am
Thinking I got several roos and not the hens I was told I was getting. Any help would be great thanks team !
Hi everyone 👋
so we have four flock members, 2 faverolles (salmon and bircher) and two warrens/goldlines. I’m wondering whether the goldlines are roos or pullets. I spotted what looks like the beginnings of a thin black tail feather on one yesterday and thought I should check. They hatched on...
Hi all! I have some chicks that are about 4 weeks old. 5 of them I know for sure what they are, but some I have questions on. The place we got them didn't have them all separated by breed like some places do.
This girl is on the smaller side. She is all dark brown and her feathers are coming...
This hen is 3 or 4 years old, best I know. I think the lady I got her from said she was a Copper Marans, but honestly it's been so long ago I could be wrong. As I've been watching and learning here on BYC I started thinking she might be a Cuckoo Marans ... but I think she lays an olive egg...
Edit: While I'm asking. Can anyone tell me the barred rocks gender? Adding pic at bottom
So my mom got me 3 chickens from a farm around her house. The owner told her their breeds but she could only remember barred rock. I can pick that one out easy because I have a few already. Though the other...
I ordered a few extra chicks last week and received them in the mail, not that I needed any extra but you know how it goes. I ordered a Swedish Flower Hen that died, a Speckled Sussex and a White Cochin. This little one is supposed to be the Cochin but clearly isn't. She started out yellow last...
So I have what I thought was a year old Dominique hen. Then I got 2 Barred Rock pullets. Thanks to chicken OCD's I've also purchased a couple of books on chickens and read a bunch online. Which is exactly where my confusion comes into play. The hen I thought was a dominique (Bets in photo) has a...
I was wondering if anyone could identify which breed this chicken is. I can't find any breeds that have her coloring, but she does have green feet so I was wondering if maybe she was an easter egger? She is now 2.5 months old. Please let me know your thoughts!
edit: I don't know if it means...
I'm on the fence. This is a Lavender Orphington that hatched on March 3rd.
I've went back in forth, it's comb was always on the medium size. It matched my pullets up until maybe the last week or so. It's comb turned pinker than it has been and it's tail kinda sits up a little higher now. It's...
Hello – my family and I recently started raising chicks for eggs and bought 6 straight run chicks from our local feed store. There was no sign indicating breeds or sex. They are now 6 weeks old and are growing quickly and our family has grown attached to them in the meantime trying to figure out...
We got this hen we call Margaery about 9 months ago and we've started breeding her. She kicks out really strong chicks. We guess she's about 2 years old.
She looks like a hybrid of some sort, but I'm not sure what. Maybe Leghorn cross, or Orpington? She has light blueish feet and a few of her...
Hi all!
We bought some older chicks at Cal Ranch yesterday and this girl was listed as an aracauna (which I know really would be an Easter Egger buying at the store like we did )
However, the associate said she thought she she was mislabeled and was actually a golden sex link.
I really do think...
Ordered her through TSC as a rare bird special, which gets it's chicks from Hoover Hatchery. About 8 weeks old and have no clue as to what the breed is. Her name is Hawk.
After years of having chickens I was convinced to try adding a few ducks to my flock. We came home with these two of unknown breed and sex but I’m thinking the dark one looks like a Black Swedish. Does anyone know? Also, what’s that little puff on the yellow duck’s head? I don’t think it’s a...
This is Daio, he’s eight months old. I still haven’t found out what his parents were, but I assume one was a silkie because of the dark skin. He’s a frizzle with dark skin, four toes and clean legs. He has no crest and his comb is a mix of single and pea, and it flops to the side. He’s in...
So I purchased some chicks from TSC last season. Both are laying at the moment, however they appear to be different breeds. They were sold as "cuckoo Marans". Any thoughts on what they actually are? I was under the impression Maran's had dark wash on a pink or white foot rather then the yellow...
