what breed

Hello! :frow I have a story, Question & Photos. :oldStory- Once upon a time (2 yrs ago), this Hen randomly appears on our farm. Out of the blue without notice, we have a small breed chicken roaming the farm. It was behaving feral and very nervous & un-trusting to any human or to any of our...

Hi! I am hoping this is a buff orpington (as that is what the local feed store told me she was... also not sure its a she but just putting it out there 😁) I'm a first time chicken mama, so I'm still learning about the various characteristics of breeds. If she's not a buff orpington, then I'll...

Hi everyone! Okay so I know it’s impossible to pinpoint this batch of chicks’ specific breeds, but I’m curious if y’all have any ideas of parent breeds, potential feathering patterns, or what breeds might be the most prominent based on what the chick looks like right now. Obviously just for fun...

I've recently discovered this forum and I think I can finally find out what breed they are. Backstory: Around 2017-2018 I bought from a firm that you know sells 1 day old chicks you buy them online but one from eastern Europe cuz that's where I'm from. They were called "gourmet" turkeys an small...

This hen showed up at my friend's place recently and she is wondering what breed(s) she might be. I've googled all the black breeds I can find, and she doesn't match any of them. So I'm coming to the pros here. What do you guys think? My friend says her earlobes appear to be black! (Purple...

Hello! I have several cream legbars, but in a group that I raised last year from chicks only one ended up being a rooster. He and one of the hens actually looked like twins for a little while until he started getting oranger at the top and then all sorts of vibrant colors different from the...

Hi there, I hatched a few random eggs I bought last year. I’m interested to know what breed my rooster is? I didn’t expect to keep any roosters and gave the others away. He was a very slow developer but looking lovely and ever so masculine now! Thanks in advance!

Hi all! We hatched out babies for the first time on the farm. The eggs came from a friend's farm who has a large mixed flock, so they are backyard chicks. One of the hebs is way smaller (50% at this point) than the others and has black skin and black legs. I thought silkie but she obviously...

Back again to add another little update to this young girl! The same information as provided on the post about her a bit ago- She was bought from TSC She was from a mixed bin with wyandottes There were bantams and other breeds available that day I'm pretty sure my TSC supplies from either...

I got these chicks at a poultry show raffle there about 3-4 weeks old I was told one is an olive egger, one is a black copper marans, and one is an unknown breed all of them are unsexed Chick 1. Non single comb, 4 toes, slightly feathered feet Chick 2. Single comb, 4 toes, slightly...

I got mystery chick she(?) is still very young but wondering if you guys have any guesses on breed (or gender but my guess is she’s to young to tell)

Update: SHE IS AN OLIVE EGGER LOL. Thank you for your help guys :) Hello!!! I have a little gal and I have NO idea what she is supposed to be. I was told one thing and she seems to be another. She has a funny little hairdo and quite the personality.

I’m new to chickens and can’t figure out what breed(s) of chickens these two blondes are. Can anyone give me an idea? They’re both about 6 weeks with chipmunk cheeks (muffs?) and heavily feathered feet. Initially, they were all the same size, but now the two yellow ones are a bit smaller than...

Hello! I am helping a friend figure out what breeds these 2 chickens are. The first chicken in the photos looks to maybe be a brown leghorn?? She didn’t buy one though. The gray chicken, no idea. Here is a list of chick breeds she bought - moss eggers, olive eggers, & prairie bluebells. Thanks!! 🙃

(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...

These 2 are my original chickens. They were a gift from a local woman. (Whom i have no way to contact.) There is a possibility they are mixed breeds. They are both hens and 1.5 years old. The black one (Cowboy) does resemble a Mystic Onyx, that's the closest I could find. The white one...

She was sold as a "Tried and True Bantam" at the farm store. We thought maybe a Welsummer bantam or some kind of Old English game? Not sure though. If anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello! I have 11 bym mix chicks between 5-6 weeks old. These chicks I'm curious on, can't quite figure out gender yet (I know it might be too early to get a conclusive answer, but I'm curious!). Parents are from a breeder and a a possible mix of french marans (black, blue, lavender, and...
