This thread is made for anyone wanting to be more knowledgable on how to tell what breed or gender a chicken is.
PM me if you'd like to "donate" a picture for guessing. First chicken up for guess:
Guess what breed and gender:

I have no clue on that breed, but I have a picture now. Might be an easy one.

I know what it is...

Spoiler: Warning: don't click here :-)

you clicked, didn'ya? You thought I'd have the answer in here, right? WRONG! I'm not spoiling the answer

Earlobe color is very useful in determining both breed and egg color. White egg layers will have white earlobes, and all other egg layers have red earlobes. A key example of how and why it is important to use earlobe color to determine breed is the Welsummer/Brown Leghorn lookalikes.




Welsummer is on top. Leghorn on bottom. They look virtually identical except for earlobe color, right?

I'll go---here's one of my only purebred birds

. And to help you out, I'll tell you it really truly does have feathers on it's legs, they just got worn/broken off.

Yep, he's a rooster. His name is Mel

, after Mel Gibson.

Langshan is a very good guess. They have straight combs, white skin and feathered legs, and come in this blue color. But, they're a leggier bird with a more upright stance. This guy is a Marans.

I went for the enormous comb and stance

This is a lot of fun. Glad others are participating too. When me and @ChickenLover200 were talking about it, I wasn't sure if I had a good idea or not because no one commented on that thread except US two lol. Thank you chickhenlover200 for starting this off. This is a lot of fun and teaching us things too. And thanks everyone else for participating too. This is going to help me so much.

They are D'Uccles, but it didn't say Millie fluer.....They called the Barbu D'Uccles (a Belgian Breed), but that might be wrong

Either way I think I like them.

 

[poodlechicks]

beginning to think I'm really bad at guessing breeds...

Mille Fleur d'Uccle rooster? It's so pretty!
