Hey guys!
On the way home from work, the Mrs excitedly told me that our local farm store had Midnight Majesty chicks in stock and asked me to pick up a few. Soon after I arrived home with (3) Midnight Majesty Pullets and a Buff Orpington.
My wife opened the chirping box and immediately thought...
Hi all,
I cannot for the life of me figure out what breed/variety this hen is. Anyone know?
We are pretty sure she’s laying speckled brown eggs as the rest of ours are Easter eggers and australorps. She’s a fun anomaly that we can’t figure out!
TIA

This is Chironamoe (Ch-ron-e-moe), he's a gentleman and is less than one year old. He's very clever, kind and docile, but I don't know what 'breed' his father is. His mother, Patti the Polish is definitely showing with his crest and comb/wattles, but I don't know who his father is. The two...
Smaller 3 (2 brown and 1 black) are just shy of 5 months old and all the others are almost 7 months old. Ok we will have photo overload today in this thread. I typically know 100% the sex of the chicken. But when it comes to Easter Eggers I sometimes am clueless. I will post some Easter Eggers...
These 2 tiny black gals are tiny bantams! There is a yellow peeper-ed roo too. I'm unsure of his breed as well. Excuse the muddy coop. We've had non stop rain. Finally got some gravel ordered and for the time being got wood shavings down to dry it up. What are these guys?
Hello,
I recently purchased Seven marans from the Maran assortment box at my local Hoovers hatchery dealer. Four of them appear to be black copper marans/ or midnight majesties. One of them having darker feathered feet than the others. The other chicks I’m not so sure (3). They have feathered...
Sorry for the awful photos, I’m nervous to get them out again! I’m so excited to have them, waiting for them to calm down to sex. If anyone notices like, a blatant feather sexable roo please tell me! I’d also love to know what varieties they are! I love my beautiful rainbow quail mix!!!!
Anyone have some ideas on a cool looking chicken mix? Well, let me know and I might try for it in mid/late 2024. I will me selling all offsprings locally. Hopefully 🤞 I will have this breed selection by next ( 2024 ) spring ( Early June ) but breeds in bold writing will only be old enough for...
Hi, I have 2 21 week old chickens that I’m not sure if they are hens or roosters. The light brown one I think is a hen. she’s been sitting in a nesting box a lot latelyThe dark brown I’m wondering if it is a slow growing rooster. It has some hackle feathers on its neck, in the last week or two...
Hello! Long story short, can anyone confirm if it's possible for a Blue Ameraucana to be without a muff or beard?
I was under the impression that they always have a muff and beard and that the Meyer ameraucanas are true ameraucanas; Meyer's website even lists them as having beards and muffs...
I don’t know if my hens are Delaware or Sussex chickens . Been laying about a month. they are laying small eggs. As time goes on will the eggs get bigger? White egg is from the store. This is my Rooster.
I picked up 4 chicks from Rural King yesterday. This chick was in a bin labeled “Assorted Egg Layers-Pullets”. My daughter picked this one, and she’s wondering what kind it is so I figured I’d ask here.
(We also got a light Brahma, Sapphire Gem, and an Americana.)
The bin at Rural King.
Hello!
This spring I purchased what I thought were 7 olive eggers, 3 mystic maran, 3 brahma and 2 americuanas.
What I've ended up with are 2 black copper marans, 1 of which is a rooster, and 8 french black marans. However, the black copper maran hen is laying a sage colored egg and the french...
I incubated & hatched these 2 roosters this spring from eggs gifted me by a neighbor. The neighbor isnt sure what breeds they are or if theyre a BYM (Which is very probable) They are about 6 months old now.
I raise chickens for the eggs & just bc I enjoy them but I like to know, if I can find...
I have 24 chickens and i buy different breeds. I have from Japanese Silkies, Brahmas to Naked Neck Chickens etc. Recently I bought a rooster and I have no idea what breed he is, I just fell in love with him the moment I saw him. He’s still quite young, but he is already quite big, almost bigger...
My flock is mostly Ameraucanas and Rhode Islands (from what I can tell, which isn't much).
Just wanna know for fun and future reference.
Temperament: Snickerdoodles is very active and quirky, affectionate, loves pets and hugs...
Hi all,
My family and I bought Chooky from a local breeder but never found out what breed she was. We've asked a couple of people their thoughts on it and they have said she is a mixed breed. Honestly, I have no idea what she is, so I wanted to know if you guys could help. Sorry, some photos are...
