mystery breed

Picked these babies up April 28th and the lady said that they should be three weeks, so about 6 weeks old now? But I don't know because the first one is fully feathered at this point. So, the first one is a different shade of white than my white leghorns. Like gray-ish, I would say like a...

Hi! I have four babies that I want to play hen or roo with :) Two Delawares, at LEAST 9 weeks old but I don’t know for sure how much older than that they might be. I think they were at least a week old when I got those two. The two buffs are 8 weeks old. So idk what the buffs are, they were...

Hey everyone! New here and I picked up this guy about a month ago and the lady didn’t know what breed he is or what his mix was. Few key points: His comb is not typical but is singular. He does have head crest feathers. He has white legs. He’s roughly 6 months old. Was told he came out of a...

Duck this mystery duck showed up in our yard a few days ago and I can seem to figure out what it is or the gender. About the size of my female muscovies, and they are not a fan of the new one. The new one has a bit more of a true quack but is pretty quiet overall. Any help appreciated!

What do we think she is? 4 weeks old. I got her in a rare breed assortment from MyPetChicken and I'm thinking Sumatra because of the extra long tail and bright yellow underside of her feet but I'm new to this and not totally sure.

Hi, we were given a duckling and need a new friend for Crash but we don’t actually know what breed they are to get a matching one. I just need to know if they are a Muscovy or any type of other and then I can get them a pal. Still just peeping although getting bigboy/girl feathers of white.

Hi Everyone. I just bought a new young hen from my local farmers market in France. She was in a crate labelled “Marans” with similarly colored/marked hens (and a rooster) but I chose her because of her smaller size and well-shaped comb. The others had rather large combs that flopped over. The...

Alrighty yall. I’m back. After our lone little button quail chick was dropped off at our wildlife rescue centre, you guys helped a-lot. So I’m back because someone dropped off a lone chicken chick today. I need you guys to please help me figure out a few things: 1. What breed is it? She’s quite...

Has anyone ever heard of Muysons Ducks? Someone is selling them but have never heard of them and can't seem to find anything about them. He says: " They're easy to keep care of males are bigger than females are good for you eating bugs I let mine run loose mommy usually go sets on the nest and...

We have a joke in the household now that our chicken breeder sold us a pigeon. So we tried picking up another Silkie to join our flock, and although this bird has some Silkie, I have no idea what else she could be? The breeder's "Silkie" laying chickens hardly looked Silkie themselves. Hopefully...

Hey everybody! New member here and I'm sure you hear this often, but I have these 2 ladies that I'm not sure of the breed(s). My neighbor and his friend got chicks from who knows where and since we had a coop and they wouldn't have to build one we let them use it but they had to take care of...

Alright forum, let's see what I've got! I've been doing a little research, but want to know if my guesses are correct. I'll post a name, age in the pic, and 3 good pics. The two pullets from TSC look exactly the same, so I'll only post one set of pics for them. Ruth & Sandra, 16 weeks...

Hey all. We recently got 6 chicks, of all different breeds, and we were given a chick that doesn’t look like any of our other chicks (fluffiness, head shape, feather texture, size, etc.) We were told she/he was a “Blue Gem”. It doesn’t really look like any sapphire gem chicks I’ve seen online...

We recently purchased some egg chicks from mt healthy hatchery, and this one was mailed with the rest as a “free chick” we have no idea what breed, or gender this chick is. Anyone have any ideas?

This is Cambria, my 5 month old bearded silkie/polish cross. She's a bit of a foodie and will peck my hands to see if I have any treats for her. I don't actually know if she or any of my chickens are females yet, but fingers crossed. ~ This is Blizzard, my non-bearded silkie/polish cross...

This boy hatched from my washed and refrigerated eggs incubation experiment last spring. He's the only one of the 19 chicks that had this coloring - the others were clearly part Easter Egger (muffs and beards, hens lay blue/pink/green eggs), mostly reddish coloring (a few buff and a couple...

Hi guys. I’ve got a mystery in my hands. I have a baby chick that was born a day ago from a very small egg. I got her from a mix of barnyard eggs so I have no idea what she (or he) is. The chick is yellow fluff but I noticed it has five toes. It didn’t have black skin that I saw when it hatch...

So yesterday my neighbour turns up at my door with an injured, skinny, sorry looking hen.. she’d been for a walk in the forest and found her (it’s England and raining and 11 degrees in the day) so she was pretty beat up.. she looked like she’d been out there a while, boney and flat crop.. and...

We got some bantams a while back (they’re almost a month old) and at first we were thinking Black Dutch Bantams or Black Japanese Bantams but that’s definitely not the case now that they are growing copper feathers lolA57F5C04-F4D5-41FA-BB9A-637F74D063AB by BabyAndPoki posted Sep 11, 2019 at...

I have 2 Barred Rocks and 2 others that I have no clue what they are. I've been trying to research different breeds and have not found anything that looks the same. Any help identifying what the chickens could be is very appreciated. They are around 10-11 weeks now.
