Got my spring chicks Wednesday! :wee We had one free surprise chick. These are from McMurray hatchery. I didn’t order any feather footed so this little guy doesn’t fit in. Feet are yellow so my guess is Blue Cochin bantam. Anyone else have a guess? Thanks in advance

Hello all. I’m hoping to add some Brabanter to my flock. I would love to hear everyone’s experiences and perhaps where to acquire some chicks or eggs Thank you

So wandering the forums and doing some searching, anyone know of this breed is obsolete? I have WTBs and love them. I’m a huge fan. But curious about the Arkansas blues that originated with Dr Whitings birds.

Really cute hen my neighbor help catch/rescue. (The owner said she didn’t want to keep her). I assume a mix but any guess on which breeds? She is small maybe bantam plus. She has a pea comb and white legs.

Hey folks can I get a critique of my Roo. He is about 10 months old. Give me the good and bad please.

I have two 16wk old Whitings. They are both beautiful but in need of a home. I’ll drive an hour or two to a good home.

I posted this in breed discussion. I’m hoping some of the gender gurus chime in here. I think I’m Beginning to accept the reality. I have 6 “sexed” pullets, Whiting True Blues. These two have combs that have gotten my attention.

Alrighty my friends. Can you tell me why this hen has lost all her fluffy but? She is not the bottom of the pecking order. No one else has this issue. She had some “pastey butt” four weeks ago. She just finished a mini molt. Any education appreciated.

So my friends. How do I determine if all my pullets are laying?

I’ll preface this with I’m new to chickens. I have 7 chicks from April. Now pullets. 4 Cuckoo Marans and 3 GLW. I believe all are laying. Though one Wyandotte seems to be laying all soft shelled. And perhaps two in one day. Has anyone heard of that.

So I have two breeds Wyandottes and Cuckoo Marans. This amazing egg was in the box today. They are all young layers so who knows.

I purchased 3 “Gold Laced” Wyandotte’s from a hatchery 4/6/2020 (22 weeks). Day old pullets. After much research I’m wondering if I have two GLW and one Black Laced Red Wyandotte (which I didn’t know existed until researching color variations). What are y’all’s thoughts?

So we got our first egg today!!! We have 3 GLW that are 22 weeks old and 4 Cuckoos that are 20 weeks old. Which breed do you think?

I’m really enjoying learning all things chicken. My medical background makes me really curious about specific genetics. Is there anyone out there who has the time to explain (and post pics, I’m a visual learner) of the reasons and examples of double barring vs single barring. Thank you so much

Just hoping for your thoughts on which breed and why you would choose if you were coloring your basket. All replies are appreciated

We have three 10 week old GLW. This one is beautiful but different than her sisters. They are hatchery chicks. She is not dominant and runs from the 8week old chicks still. She often carries her tail high. That was my first concern. I’m learning so Please teach me.
