Here you go; a chicken in a tuxedo!

OK, so look at the photos. THESE ARE ALL MY BIRDS, not some stuff grabbed off the internet. new pictures with some recent hatchlings showing multiple spots. THESE ARE NOT A PROJECT, these are all purebred D'uccles, the splashes just seemed to happen-i think they come from the white hens. I...

i breed d'uccles and want to pick out some to set aside to breed for show. i have black mottleds and regular millies/golden necks with good white tips to breed with them. i am picking out my rooster now but i am worried because it seems to be impossible to fine any w/o solid white feathers on...

I have a light brahma pullet that is about 2 months old. last night a coon reached in a 2 " gap near the wheels under the tractor she was in and pulled out (through 1' wire mesh bottom) her leg - completely! there is no stump, just an empty socket. I have seen posts here about chickens with...

So I started out with this item. As you can see by the reviews, it is not a good product as is. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/ware-manufacturing-heavy-duty-chick-n-hutch-2-4-chicken-capacity I have had this for 2 years out in the central TX weather. when I got it I painted it and mad...

This was built out of scrap material-including parts of a desk and some TREX 2x2's-which made up the frame underneath. this had been out in the central TX weather for 2 years and needed a tune up. here is a photo from underneath showing how haphazard it is. it has been used for 4 full sized...

I bought the kit ( http://www.amazon.com/Pawhut-Deluxe-Wooden-Chicken-Backyard/dp/B00DE3YTSO ) at Tractor Supply on sale -for 179+ tax. I spent another 50$ on wood, tires, hardware, paint, and caulk. I had chicken wire already on hand. the paint was the cheap 5$ 'oops' paint from Depot. first...

these are pics of my silkie roo 'Muppet'. He is from a show line but I am unsure if he is good (I think he is too leggy-but he is my best). his colour bothers me though, he always looks dirty. he came with a paint and a partridge -and looks like he may have both in him-is he a tri-colour paint...

I bought a half dozen keets yesterday. I have done chicks but never guineas. I had them out in the large brooder tractor with my chicks for a day. when i went to check on them i noticed, unlike the chicks crops, theirs were empty/flat. I am not sure if it is because they don't gorge like chicks...

so this is what you get when you cross a white leghorn hen with a white crested polish (who had a fine set of 'horns' comb)-its a combination of the single comb, but split. much like I imagine true Houdan (not US ones) combs. anyone know what to call that type?

I have a show girl named '6' , since she has 6 toes on one foot. i just got her a few days back with 3 others that are culls since they have hard feathers. when petting her yesterday I noticed a lump on her left side and realized it was her crop. i know of some humans with all their organs...

This was found in our hen house today. there are no bantys in it, so we are perplexed. I tried candling it but could not see a yolk-but I dont know if it cant be seen because of the strong pigment. below photos show size comparisons. in the sequence photo largest is a normal size egg for our hen...

I am very fond of this breed. I got an instant flock from some one on craigslist. these two are 'Goofball and Teapot', very very friendly roos who are always getting into our stuff, often seen peering in the back door windows looking for treats. I left my car open one day and came out to see...

Another member posted a topic about their Polish chicken named 'Phyllis Diller'. I have ~12 Polish, and a few also have names based on their poof headed appearance -I have a Phyllis, a Sidney (after Sid Vicious), and an Ein (Albert Einstein a Splash polish roo). I also thought Cruella would work...

I have been to a barn raising party before, does it have a poultry equivalent? As one who is always in the middle of working on a coop, the idea of a get together to make sure it happens in a timely manner (with accompanying networking) seems a good idea. Is there a precedent?

these are a series of photos (best of) of my two hand raised Mille Fluer D'uccles. the larger (Tuffy Butt) one was hatched out of an egg that pipped but didn't zip. the second smaller one (Itty Bitty) hatched as a surprise on the 4th of July. I took a bunch of photos of them sitting in a pine...

I designed this for my avitar-am having trouble fitting it but thought I would post a larger photo just for giggles

here are some shots of a group of new chicks I got. I took some pics to archive them and compare later when they get older. Unknown colour full size cochin; Black standard cochin-possibly frizzle; Gold lace polish; Splash polish-I am thinking of calling her 'Sassy'; unknown feather...

i picked up a few chicks from a neighbor that got a few assortments from McMurry, two i got out ouf curiosity-they have feathered feet and what looks like vulure hocks. Now I know that they could grow out of them when they fill fully out. they are 3.5 weeks old. first chick; this it 'her'...

I didnt find a listing for these-so forgive me if I start a tangent thread. I am posting some photos of my 4, 2 red shouldered roos and a pair of white ones. I am wanting toknow if they are show worthy. of the white ones the female appears to have a cushion comb but the male has a very squat...
