andalusian

We received this pullet as a chick in Hoovers Hatchery white layer assortment and she's 13 weeks now. We think she's either a Cali white or Splash Andalusian, but now she looks like a Roo! Her feathers say roo, but she doesn't crow and her comb and wattles are the same size as our others? Sooo...

I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

I bought this guy from tsc. Not sure if he was an andalusian or black copper maran but I swear I bought him as a black copper maran. Attached is another rooster I was gifted. Not sure what he is either. And he also has feathered legs. What are they lol the last one I believe Is a giant hen. She...

(Egg photo includes example of my darkest egg color, one of my Orpingon’s pink egg collection, and a final silkie egg.) So all my girls have started laying and I have a bit of a mystery on my hands. I have a silkie (small creamy white egg), a Houdan (large stark white egg), an Americana (pale...

My kid called this one Dal, here she is as a hatchling (she’s the loud mouth in the back) When she started growing feathers: 3 weeks, next to an Egyptian and Tibetan (disregard their tomato!) a different breeder suggested she was a Pearl at this point. And now at almost 6 weeks 🤯🤩 her...

So as some of you know, back in February I got 6 orpingtons and 6 olive eggers from Tractor Supply. Out of the 6 olive eggers, one of them was very different from the other 5. I thought maybe Smoky was just a different mix of olive egger but now I'm not so sure. The reason being, for the past 3...

Hello! ☺️ I ordered some bbs chicks and it was too late to have the hatchery mark them, so I am very confused and I have no idea which is which. 😩 I’m splitting the order with someone so I don’t want to give them the wrong ones! They all look the same to me lol. They are ALL BBS (blue black or...

I have 11 Andalusian chicks. Most are grey, I have a few white, and a few black. This is my first time raising this breed and I've been trying to do as much research as I can but I'm having trouble distinguishing the Roo's from the Hens. I don't know if they are all the exact same age, I got...

I acquired a blue andalusian back in july and wanted to see how close it is to the SOP for the breed. She's still in rough shape as she was in close confines with 3 roosters and 7 other hens when I picked her up from the shelter. I am excited to see her after the she mounts, and the bald...

This is my boy El Diablo...he is most definitely a butthead but I love him and I love his colors. He crows all the time and he lives up to his name by waking me up this morning at 4am at my back door and not stopping until 4:40am. I cannot figure out what breed he is. The store had him marked as...

Hello! I'm new to BYC. I thought I would share some pictures of my four hybrid chicks that are about 5.5 weeks old, so you can enjoy guessing their genders and breeds with me. Parents are all pure breeds, and chicks are hybrids. Chick 1: Breed: Blue Andalusian and Ameraucana (only chick I know...

So, I’m not sure the breed. My husband said Andalusian or golden laced Wyandotte but I really don’t know. Also, not sure the sex. Any thoughts? I really appreciate it! He/she is 6 wks old.

I know I’ve posted before about this chicken but I swear it’s a cockerel. The attitude, the size and the color of the comb and wattle makes me think cockerel but I am new to being a chicken owner so what the heck do I know lol All my other chickens have pale combs and wattles. None of them are...

Okay so we got this beaut from TSC as a Blue Australorp. I was sceptical from the get go as a day old. Now it's around 2 months old and I'm still befuddled. I've asked opinions elsewhere and had, Sapphire Gem, Blue Andalusian and Blue Rock as guesses and most saying Hen. I figured I would...

21 weeks old. I do not know the breed Mom is Andalusian, dad is a black mix. If pullet when will she lay?

Hi all, Recently I've noticed that our Andalusian hen, Andy (creative, I know), has some puffiness under her eye on the left side of her face. Thus far she doesn't seem to have any other symptoms, she's eating and drinking and going about her business as per usual, but obviously if this is the...

Hi there! This spring we started our first flock of chickens, and since we are in a fairly urban area we are really hoping they are actually all hens. Paloma, our splash Andalusian, is developing quite the comb and wattles already. They are all just about 7 weeks old now, so I'm hoping that...

Alright folks, tractor supply strikes again... March 2 I got three blue Andalusians and I ended up with two pullets and one cockerel. All with bare shanks, the cockerel has developed VERY rapidly (think around double the size of the pullets at this age), super dark wash on his toes/legs, yellow...

Hi folks, I have a blue Andalusian hen who I believed had stopped laying eggs a few weeks ago. Today I saw her crouch and out came this: Now that I’ve seen this happen, I realize that she’s probably been doing this for some time, but likely has been eating her shell-less eggs (or another...

Hello Everyone, On June 7, 2018 my Blue Andalusian laid her first egg. It was oddly long, but roughly the size of a normal store bought egg. Ever since she laid her first egg, her egg size has been decreasing. I don’t know what a “normal” size egg is supposed to look like, being new to raising...
