Hey. So my sweet girl got injured yesterday/today. And it was my fault. :( I didn't find out until this afternoon, but last night when I went to check on my birds, and when shutting the coop door, she must have gotten caught and her neck was bent terribly and she was stuck until I opened their...

I've got 6. To my extremely inexperienced eyes, based off of 5 minutes on google, I think there are 5 gals and a male? I'll label the pics with numbers. I believe they are the Pharoah coloring? Are they jumbo or the smaller kind? I got them from rural king, so hoovers. It just said 'quail' lol.

I've had a great variety of ducks through the years. But I am not sure on these two little gals. They are both female. 3 weeks apart in age but the growth spurt on the older one is pretty awesome. The brown older duck is 4 weeks about. It appeared to be a khaki campbell as a duckling, I...

Are they both variations of the same color? Are they considered gold birchen or blue partridge, or just leakage? I am keeping #2 to breed with as he has the best feathering and comb.

I got these two silkie chicks (rural king/hoovers). I got them simply because they are different. Are they partridge? They do have 5 toes. Skin is grey, not black. Has anyone had some that looked like this to show how they grow up?

I hatched 16 silkie and showgirl chicks from my birds this week. Parents are white showgirls, dark blue, partridge, and roo is black. Are all of the grey/silver-yellow chicks splashes? Also this chick we singled out here has a funny colored top hat! Do you think the colors will stay different...

I had my first eggs from this years newer chickens. All on the same day and at 26 weeks. That was a loooong wait. The larger white is from my polish. The two smaller ones are from my only two bantams. The picture makes them appear darker than they are though. So we've got a white laced red...

To start, I've raised hundreds of birds over the years, all different breeds. I know it can take longer for many breeds to lay, but I've never had so many with not a single one laying by this stage. I am a bit at a loss over my current newer batch of pullets this year though! Just so excited...

For the record, I've hatched hundreds of chicks, but weaklings give me trouble with temperatures! I've assisted a fair few at hatch for various reasons but prefer to let them do their thing, naturally. I seem to have more than my share of spraddle legs and slipped tendons to deal with though! I...

Thought it was a cockerel based off of the saddle feather area, but not sure because besides that one picture, I don't see saddle feathers like that in person. New to this breed! 10 weeks old.

New to this breed. Mottled Houdan. Does this look like a pullet or cockerel? About 10 weeks old. Soooo friendly and GRUMPY looking, I love it! We thought it was a boy, but it seems a little too rounded, if they are similar to polish?

This is one of three olive Eggers I hatched. In the third/last picture, one is obviously a male and has been since 5 weeks, in the center. One is obviously a female, she's on the left. Then this one is stumping me (on the right). The first two pictures are also of this one. I was leaning pullet...

So these were all supposed to be pullets, and I forgot what a couple of them arw because I thought I'd remember all the different kinds and didn't band them. I always forget, I don't know why I thought I would remember. Anyways first 3 photos here are...not sure at all. Next 2 photos I think...

Each bird has it's own comment with a picture, see below. All of these were out of 'pullet' bins, from hoovers. They all seem too big, with big dark combs for their age. They are 5 weeks old. Did I really get this many mis-gendered birds? Or are these normal looking for pullets and I am just out...

So, hoovers hatchery. They had a bin of blue adnalusian pullets. Never had them before. Are these both pullets? One has a deeper comb and slightly larger wattles and is also bigger all around. PLUS these are not blue! And I missing something? They don't even lol like blue splash. I'm just...

I've got what I believe to be #1 a white laced red cornish pullet #2 a white cochin bantam pullet #3 a white crested blue polish, no idea on gender How do you tell polish sex besides waiting until their feathers make it obvious? I'm new to that breed. These are from a mixed bantam bin from...

So I have 5 white showgirls, around 10 weeks old. 2 are obviously males (plus I vent sexed them and it seems to be correct) the other 3 I want to think are pullets, but the one with a question mark I wasn't positive on while vent sexing, and still am not now, but leaning pullet based off of...

Flat/cushion comb? He has furry legs, 4 toes. From mixed bantam bin from hoovers hatchery.

Assorted bantam chicks from Hoover's hatchery, in a mixed bin at farm store... And one (#4) that was in the bantam bin but I don't know what it is, not sure it's a bantam. #1 has bare legs and a flat comb, otherwise I thought a dark oegb. It is miniscule. (Chick died, but still wondering what...

My 6 year old's favorite bird on our farm is a porcelain D'uucle rooster, named Gilbert. I am horrible at cakes in general, but gave it my best shot! She loved it! We used 7 eggs from our flock for this cake. The buttercream frosting was shockingly good. I made a vanilla buttercream base then...
