chick breeds

Once again, I have been affected by that terribly wonderous thing called chicken math. Here's how it's gone so far: 5 rescued BSL chicks -3 died in the night so I had 2 + 7 more chicks we bought a month later. Our total is (9) then + 4 more chicks 6mos later. New total (13). Lose -1 hen to sour...

I have one speckled pullet and I’m not sure what breed she could possibly be … any ideas? For just having got her three days ago she’s very friendly and settled in quickly.

Salutations! I recently aquired some chicks from the TSC "Bantam Bin" and I have no idea what breed they are! I'm guessing they are almost two weeks old? Chick 1# Chick 2# Chick 3# Chick 4# Chick 5# They all have the "chipmunk" coloring but Chick 1# has a yellow head and less fuzzy...

Hi all! I am new to the chicken world and I am loving it so far. I have 6 chicks, all of which I can figure out their breed except for 1. Can anyone help me figure out which breed the one in the picture is please? I look forward to being a part of this fun community!!

Hello, So I knew something wasn't quite right when I bought this chick anyway I did. The chick is supposed to be a silver laced Wyandotte and I knew they aren't red so now I would just like to know what I have. This is dixie 2 weeks old. I was thinking New Hampshire red or something like that...

Got some assorted chicks and we're having a hard time figuring out breeds, they're in with one of my hens and she's not big on visitors so I apologize for the less than awesome pictures! The group photo has coloured dots for easy referencing; Red: noface (sorry, every picture I have of that one...

We just added these five little gals (I hope lol) to our brooder. The problem is, I'd like to know if anybody can tell me what breeds they might be? We bought them from a local woman, and she said at least three are RIR but I do NOT think she was right, so now I really don't know what I've got...

I have another post about transitioning them into the coop but I just wanted to make sure my babies are old enough to go outside. Planning for this Saturday. Local weather will be high 60's in the days and low 40's at nights (with some occasional rain). What do you think? I want to avoid putting...

Hey y’all! I am a first time chicken owner of 9 beautiful birds. (2 dark Brahmas, 2 ameracuanas, 2 blue laced Wyandottes, 2 buff Orpingtons, and once white silkie) and I am slightly concerned about their water intake, like all babies they are MESSY and I dump there shaving filled water about 5/6...

All I know is it is a good layer! It was in a tub with other assorted layers and I loved the stripes on his back!

I wanted to let every one that I ordered a total of 40 Chicks from https://www.purelypoultry.com I have used Cackle, Murray, Meyer, Hoovers, and Welp Hatcheries. I found Purely Poultry by accident but thought what the hey. I wasn't to happy with the other hatcheries so I decided to give them a...

I have a 2 year old Barred Rock. She is extremely social, intelligent, cuddly, active, a good layer, but very territorial because she is alone in the coup. She is the boss of the dogs and cats, but I want to grow the flock. I'm nervous she will be very aggressive with other hens. I have...

Not sure what breed this hen is...

I have several rare chicks for sale. All chicks are 5 weeks old as of 6/10/2017 with a minimum order of 6 chicks in order to ship you can mix and match if you like. All the breeders except the Iowa Blue came directly from Greenfire Farm. The number in the () is the number of chicks I have...

I have two female silver laced wyandottes and I thought they were female but now I am not so sure. They are both developing differently. Could it be that they are at different stages?? Please let me know what you think!! one has a darker comb and the other has a lighter comb. I have uploaded the...

This 3 week old chick is mine best friend, But what i really wanted to know is what breed he or she is. It has an extra toe.

I know it's still really early, but I'd love any insights about what breeds/sexes these might be! Thanks in advance to anyone who's able to offer info :) Chick 1: Chick 2: Chick 3: Chick 4: Chick 5: Chick 6: Chick 7: Chick 8: Chick 9: Chick 10: Chick 11: Chick 12:

I have a two week old Yellow, and 1 week old Black chick (I think a Crested Polish), both from white eggs. We received the eggs from a random batch from a local farmer who keeps a huge mixture of chickens, he couldn't tell us from which chicken they were laid by... I suppose it is a little...

I have recently started my flock with 5 different breeds of bantams. I bought some americaunas and silver pheonex by breed, but the rest were assorted. I have narrowed down one variety to buff cochin, and thought I also had brown cochins until I noticed an extra toe on the darker ones. But then...

I have 2 chicks that I am not able to identify. I got them at a Tractor Supply during Chick Days. I was told they were a Buff Orpington and a Salmon Faverolle. After some research I am convinced that they are not what I was told. I think one is a broiler - comb, wattles, New Hampshire color, big...
