Anyone know what breed of monster this is?

Good Morning.



Hope everyone is doing great. We get closer and closer everyday to getting chickens again. Keep posting please as I live out my chicken needs through this site until I get them again. Crazy how those little critters are addicting to have. You guys are lucky to be surrounded by them.

That looks like a bantam hooman monsterus.

Rare breed you've got there, such a cutie too!!

Where did you get him? (Lol it was the storks wasn't it)


Here have some chicken images to help you cope with that chook-longing <3

basically my chicken journey backwards if you will XD

Hi all, I am planning on moving to Lake Havasu City within a year or two. In your experience are there any chicken breeds that don't do well in the extreme heat? Thank you!

They tell me the orpingtons don't do well because they are chunky.. I am in Tucson and gets hot and dry like LH.
some heat resistant chickens I think are australorpes.. I have a rooster and hen of that breed.. but am pretty new to chicken"ing"
we have only been through one hot summer with the girls... we found fans with misters and frozen veggie treats or frozen melon treats work well. Cool water available and something to dip their tootsies in if that is an option.. must have good shade.. but fans are the most important.. I have found.. it was 117 F last summer

Just have ton's of shade , water and area's that have some breeze.. frozen treat's are alway a great way to cool them down. We would get block's of ice when it is over 110'.

Now that's a cute monster.

You asked what I have. I have the Austalorps. My rooster is a splash. I have hens in the splash, blue, and black. I also have 3 chicks left from my New Years Day hatching.

That high heat sure did come fast last summer! I didn't have any fans on mine. I did run the misters on a timer, and had lots of water available for them for both drinking and standing in. I had also froze gatoraid bottles full of water to put in the drinking water for them.
