okay definitely a delaware then, she’s got black in her hackles and tail and wings. thank you so much for the help!

wait didn’t realize how much amberlinks looked like delawares LOL, probably an amberlink then

after she feathered out a lot more i’ve determined that she is definitely a delaware!

yay thank you guys so much!! this is great news lol

forgive how dirty she is, it’s been raining ALL week and the run is muddy

This is just a mixed breed!! Was told he/she was possibly orpington crossed with ameraucana! Between 3-4 months old, looks like a pullet to me, i don’t see any obvious rooster saddle feathers or any other roo characteristics for that matter but would love to be sure! I don’t really have an eye...

Hi friends! I purchased this chick from tractor supply who was labeled white leghorn, but as her wing feathers have come in there’s like grey/black spots on it so i’m curious what breed she could be? Through some brief searching I discovered the California White breed however she doesn’t look...

I THINK the one in the middle with the copper coloring around the neck/hackles is a cockerel, and the other two are pullets, but can somebody with a better eye for these things confirm for me as best they can? The help is very much appreciated!

hello! I placed BCM eggs in my incubator about 22 days ago. All the videos and forums i read said to dry hatch so i did! humidity has consistently berdon between 35-45 the whole time. I cant see vessels or embryos because of how dark the egg is, but i’ve been outlining the air cell and it...

here’s mom & dad! does this help? and i figured he was a cockerel, just needed confirmation bc i was still in denial LOL

also the chick that’s in the 1st and 3rd photo- I’m already knowing it’s looking a LOT like a cockerel, but i haven’t paid enough attention to how quick these bantam breeds mature so wanted a second opinion! lmk if you think my guess is correct or believe otherwise

Hello! I’ve got an OEGB rooster and some japanese white black tailed bantams that we’ve hatched babies from for two years now. this time around one of the babies has some feathers on her feet! since the day she hatched she’s had them and she’s going on 3 weeks old and still has them. I’ve...

Hello! This question is not necessarily about poultry but didn’t know where else to find my answer! We have river otters. always have! one year we let the ducks we had at the time free range and in one day the otters tore 5/8 of our ducks to shreds :( didn’t even eat them or anything, just...

Hello! Was wondering if anybody has experience hatching OEGB or Japanese bantams? if so, what are your hatching rates like? I’ve let different broodies hatch out OEGB/Japanese bantam cross eggs 3 times now, and the hatching rates are low. first year only 2/6 hatched 2nd batch only 3/10 hatched...
