mmm not sure on breed and i can't tell from the pic but does she have any long pointy feathers at the base of her back?

Sorry for the late replies... Busy with small kids & feathered babes! @TheChookPatch I'm not sure... A bit hard to tell. He/She is still confusing me!

I have a silver pencilled wyandotte. Looks like it has a single comb and also could be younger than 5.5 months. Hard to see, but does look like some early saddle feathers coming through and very red faced so I am thinking a mixed breed male too. She was molting here but you get the idea. I would think yours could be a sIlver laced cross given the size of the pattern. Did it come from a reliable friend, or is it possible it was an unknown less scrupulous seller?

@Bens-Hens yeh I 'm thinking some strange mix. Not a proper breeder just a backyard bloke who was getting rid of some chicks and I needed a couple of egg layers for our family... I still can't tell yet but my husband and I have wagered our bets! Thanks everyone for your input. I will keep you posted who I have now named "Mr Spots"!

Hi everyone - I've taken a leap into hatching eggs!



Here's one of my Wellies sitting on 6 naked neck and 6 silver pencilled plymouth rock bantam eggs. I put them under her on Friday night, so fingers crossed for a successful hatch!

I may be coming in here and getting some advice from all you lovely people soon

You've already seen the pic and heard the news Satay

I hope so too. I think I've got hubby on board with keeping a plymouth rock roo and pullet and breeding them if I hatch them out successfully.

Oh, in other news, my dorking needs to have her eye surgically removed

She got some trauma to it a while ago and her third eyelid completely covered her eye. Now its retracting back slowly, and all that's left of the eye is a white, yucky mess.

Sorry to leave it so long to reply... been bizay!

Well I have to be honest in saying I've spent the past month gettting the chook'ouse ready to house the aforementioned chickadees. We have a sale coming up in my town soon (12 April) so I hope to be buying a couple of ladies there. I joined here to get as much info as possible before I took the chooky plunge. Have gratefully learnt heaps already and really enjoying reading about all your babies.

I've been the proud Mumma of a pair of Khaki Campbell ducks (Mr Elvis Duck and Mrs Pricilla Duck) for a while and my little family and I have taken to switching off the telly and going outside to watch the ducks play lol

Will let you know what I buy...
