Can anyone tell me what breed this chick might be? It was in a bin labeled Americana but they don’t have feathered feet. And they’re SUPER feathered. Grey on top and lighter underneath. Pretty fuzzy wings too.
I’m thinking of buying some new roosters, last time I bought some they became aggressive, what is the tamest breed? Is it because I have hens and should I separate the hens from the roosters
My chicken made me join!
Spring of 2025 I purchased my first set of 4 babies!! I so totally enjoy the threads on the forum. Every topic is available for discussion. Today, I read a post about the possiblities of having a deaf chicken. I believe she is deaf, so I finally joined and ask for...
We are needing to make Roo Stew and select a new rooster but we have several options and a mixed flock.
Our current flock:
Bielfelders
Black Australorps
Production Blue
Olive Egger (no idea of breed background because she was a mislabeled chick)
Rooster options:
1 year old Lavender Orpington
4...
Hi!! So we are curious if anyone has photos of blue Orpington x barred rock or blue Orpington x buff Orpington? I’m excited to see them! Thank you so much!
So silkies are recognized in black, blue, buff, white, splash, self blue and gray. These are some silky chicks we have and I’ve been playing a color guessing game with them! lol they range from 4-7 weeks old.
I am looking into meat bird breeds to raise this year. We did freedom rangers this past year and liked them but I was wondering about other breeds! I have looked into kosher king, sasso, freedom ranger color yield, and Jackie (basically all the breeds from freedom ranger hatchery) any...
Hi,
Does anyone know what breed these chicks are? I am quite certain that the eggs that they hatched from were brown. The chicken breeds we have are:
Rhode Island Red
Sid Taylor
Brahma
Golden Comet
Wyandotte
(The mom that hatched them is the hen beside them in some photographs—a Rhode Island Red!)
Aloha all!
Its been a while, so I thought I would come back with a fun poll for the forum. I am curious but love this rooster regardless. He's so sweet, respectful, and very gorgeous. He is also VERY large XD
In two pictures, I have him near my Australorp and Olive Egger hens.
I also have no...
I’m currently in the process of banding and organizing my quail so I’ll probably just keep posting pics. Guesses towards coloration and gender welcome!
Today’s quail:
(Faline)
(Kally)
(Prim) I have two that look like this
Also, any idea what the beard-looking things on some of my quail are?
Thought I would post this to give some clarity to what a breed is…also a link to the American Poultry Association who are the folks who defined the recognized breeds in the U.S.
The purpose to a breed is so a buyer knows what to expect when purchasing a chicken. If it is a certain breed they...
Hi,
After our vacation we had some surprise chicks!
We started out with 11 chicks, but unfortunately a hawk got 2. The other 9 are 10.5 weeks old and at first I thought I would wait and see what they would become, but I'm getting more curious with the day =). Hoping someone wants to make a...
New to quail, just hatched these babies yesterday. Can anyone tell me what their colors are? They hatched from both Celadon and Jumbo Coturnix eggs (although not sure which came from which) 😅 Thanks!
From reading various posters on here it seems most people have mixed flocks - probably because there's so many to explore. What I'm interested to find out with this thread is those of you who have but one single breed is ... What's your breed of choice? Why'd you choose it? Have you in the past...
Hi I have 5 chicks that are 7 weeks old. Does anyone have ideas on breed or gender? Thanks
#1 single comb
#2 w/beard
#3
#4 small beard
#5 I think is a Roo w/beard
We recently caught a stray chicken that's been hanging around our yard from the other side of the fence for at least a month. At first, she would just pace the fence and chat with our girls. Occasionally, she would hop the fence and stand outside our chicken yard, squawking to be let in, but...
I hatched some eggs that were supposed to be Red sex links. I assumed the white one was a male and the dark one was a female as chicks are with sex links but they seem to be the opposite! Are they a different breed? They are 3 months old now. One crowed over a month ago but not since...
Hi everyone, I’d like help to identify one of my 17 week old chickens. She’s a girl so I’d just like help with the breed, I know all my chickens breed for a fact but not her. Thank you
If personality traits help: she’s very friendly, the friendliest and very docile but very sassy and vocal
