Hi all
One of my hens (I am not 100% sure which one) has been for the past 2 weeks atleast, probably longer laying eggs with what I am assuming is calcium deposits attached to the shell of the eggs. They are super tiny round balls some of them rub off but most are super stuck. It almost looks...
Howdy! First time chicken lady here, I’ve got a small flock of 5 that are 6 weeks old I believe. I know for sure one is a roo (not pictured) but I’m wondering about my other 4. I also need some breed help with numbers 1 & 4, number 1 is supposedly a Olive Egger and number 4 is supposed to be a...
I had 2 chicks hatch under my broody!
They're barnevelder chicks, but the eggs came from either a double silver laced hen or a blue laced hen who are in with a double silver laced roo.
So, experts, are these black, blue or splash?
2 pics of each attached
Hello! First post here. I was given a rooster from a friend who had multiple different breeds. I thought it may have been an Australorp but it’s feathering looks more like a Barnevelder. Could it be a mix? Let me know! :D
He’s my first rooster and is very kind to me and our 9 hens.
EDIT: I...
Hi, I need help sexing these Appenzeller Spitzhauben, Barnevelder and white crested Polish chicks!
I bought one of each of these and a white bearded silkie that the seller guaranteed is a girl or I can bring it back for a laying female or 2x money back.
They are all 6-7 weeks old
I have a...
This beautiful chick is definitely either head hen or a roo. She's an amazing snuggler but she is also aggressive. Essentially, when you pick her up you have a 50/50 shot on whether or not she chooses violence or love
Hi. I have a very large coop and run that is 100% shaded and has lots of ventilation and is very high with multiple perches at varying heights. I have 3 feeders and 3 waterers. The whole coop and run are 100% protected from predators and extremely spacious, it's a gigantic Kingdom for...
Hello all!
This is Rachel from the Casper household! We are in the planning process preparing to become a chicken family next summer! My husband and I have two boys, ages 14 months and three years. The older one was able to catch a chicken properly at a year and a half all by himself!
So I had...
First off, my mom is the one that wanted these. Not me. Doesn't mean I don't though!😍
6 double silver laced Barnevelder eggs went in the bator like 30 minutes ago.
My friend got a couple Barnevelders from me this spring (hatched April 13th factory sexed) and just sent me this photo (first one in the grass). She said the bird doesn't crow and usually runs away from her but we think they/them looks like a he/him with the big red comb and wattles.
I...
Hey guys! Anybody have a barnevelder rooster that looked like mine? He is 11 weeks old now. I’m so curious to see what he’s going to look like and there aren’t many barnevelder rooster pictures online that look close to how he looks. Here’s some pictures taken within the last couple weeks or so...
I have this barnevelder chick. Around 3 weeks old. Does anybody have any idea if it looks male or female? Is it too early to tell? It’s wings seemed to take longer to grow than my other chick breeds. And it’s legs are thicker. Don’t have another barnevelder to compare it to though so I really...
I couldn’t figure out what thread for put this in because nothing seemed to totally match. Anyhow we ordered 20 chicks in April, all 20 survived and we sold 12 of them leaving us with 8 beautiful friendly little hens. We had 4 barnevelders and 1 cockerel and 2 pullets would beat the living...
I have a few chicks to which I am unsure of gender. A barred rock, aracauna, blue or splash australorp, gold laced wyandotte, silver laced wyandotte and gold laced barnevelder. Please see below images.

Sybil the SLW
Goldie the GLW
