Hi all, got this chick from a set of eggs from a farm, hatched by my own broody hen. They have a lot of breeds of hen and also several roosters. As a result I have no idea who the culprits are.
Any help with identifying breed? At 6 wks I’m not expecting to be able to sex it yet but… not...
Hi he was abandoned at the side of the road so I’ve never been sure on his breed, could someone let me know what it is please as I’ve always wondered Thank you
Hi everyone never really post on these sites. I have a Brazilian teal drake and a ring teal hen that have fancied eachother. I’m curious if anything would come of this? I’ve heard of hybrids happening among other types of ducks.
Hello! First time posting here, but long time lurker. I just joined today, but have really found this place very helpful in google searches 😆
So, a random man was selling chickens and guineas in a parking lot and of course I stopped and bought them. 😆
I have buff orpingtons, leghorns, a...
We received this cockerel from Murray McMurray hatchery 12 weeks ago. I posted when he was younger, but no one quite knew what he was. He has some slight barring on his feathers and is noticeably larger than the buff orpington cockerels that are his same age. I am trying to figure out what he is...
A friend of a friend sent us pics of their hen, they aren't sure of the breed. We aren't experts, just have our light sussex girls in the backyard. My first thought was barred rock but could possibly be wyandotte or another breed I haven't heard of!.... Any experts out there that could say for...
Hi! I'm a newbie. I bought 8 pullets in June. One is gray and came from the Rhode Island Red bin. Beautiful bird and appears to be a roo, still not crowing at 17 weeks. But I can't figure out what breed this is. Also one of my speckled sussex is also a roo. Is it ok to have 2 roosters if they...
I had an awful bobcat massacre that wiped out half of my flock, so we were so excited that one of our remaining eggs hatched. I have no idea what breed she is as we have a few unique guys if you could lend a hand!
My roosters were a silver laced polish and a white silkie.
My hens were either...
Hi there! I’m new to backyard chicken raising and have a young flock of six 18-week old pullets. They are my sweet babies and they all have fun distinct personalities.
Looking forward to reading about all of the community’s great ideas and problem solving when needed.
I’m not 100% on the...
He’s fairly large, a hair bigger than my 5 month old Brahma, who is towering over the rest of my girls. Picked him up from an older couple who had taken their son’s chickens after he got bored with them, they didn’t really know anything about him. This picture does not do him justice, he’s a...
These three (besides the Sapphire Gem in the background) are seven weeks old. Dad is a RIR. Moms could be a Barred Rock, Wyandotte, 2 Easter Eggers, or an older Faverolles. All the parents besides the Fav are pictured.
More importantly, what are y’all thinking for genders?
I’m thinking…
Black...
Hi all, got given this little hen, Sally, after she was the lone survivor of a fox attack that took out her whole flock. Would love to know what she might be, mostly just put of curiosity as her previous owner had no idea!
I had thought maybe a leghorn but she lays beautiful chocolate speckled...
Hi guys. I hatched out 7 chicks in an incubator and they are now 3 months old. This one is a mixed breed. It has a friend that looks very similar but is a hen. Which hen would be the mom?
Father = some kind of marans
Mother could be:
Cuckoo marans
Amberlink
Cinnamon Queen
Light Brahma
Easter...
I got these 10 as babies from a feed store. They told me they were Ameracaunas, however, I know many times they are not true. Just curious if your thoughts if they are actually EE? Thank you!!
Hi! I purchased these from Rural King and I don’t believe they were labeled correctly. What breed are these?
1 and 3 unknown but they are from the same bin. Lays brown eggs
2- labeled as an Easter Egger but looks just like chicken #3 but has a different comb. Lays a green egg
4-...
I got her about nine years ago, and I think she was mislabeled as a maran or something. I have looked at so many pictures of different breeds, and nothing looks like her. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I added a ton more pictures (probably too many)
(Sorry for the bad pictures, they are old...
I think I got a mixed breed because the lacing is definitely off. I was wondering what other breed is in her possibly? She's huge for 7 weeks, much bigger than the other 3 chicks.. her comb is also very flat basically nonexistent.. I have another female that has a few of these feathers maybe 2...
