    Mystery chick from a random assortment of hatching eggs

    Hello All! I am new to this forum and would love some help identifying/gendering this chick that hatched six weeks ago from a random assortment from Meyer hatchery. I suspect he is a cochin, given the fluffy feet and tail feathers, but I have never seen a full-sized cochin with this mottled...

    Sold as a black leghorn, but clearly isn’t!

    This pullet (named Craig) was bought at TSC as a black leghorn. She’s about 15-17 weeks old. Single comb, very small, black legs with 4 toes, feathered legs and partially feathered feet. Relatively lean build. Any ideas? Pretty timid so hard to get pics of. Thanks!

    What types of chickens are these?

    Hi all! I have been scouring the web to figure out what kinds of chickens these are. Your input is very appreciated! The first 2 are the same chicken. He has 5 toes but I think to that is a genetic defect. All were purchased from hatcheries and a few are straight run.

    Duckling identification help

    I think, from all my searching, that I have three blue swedish, one black swedish(possibly 2), possibly one cayuga and I'm not sure for the last one; maybe a Welch harlequin or maybe she's also a blue? They're all 6 days old today. I attached a couple of pictures. I hope everyone can see them...

    Hatched bielefelders and CLB and cant tell a difference?

    We ended up with 20/23 Legbars and Bielefelders. I notice the white/yellow dot on top of heads of the cockerels but cant tell the two different breeds apart. Can someone tell me the difference when 3 days old? They all look the same to me. Blurry colors with light color dot on top of head.

    A Real Head Scratcher

    Hello everyone! I need help identifying this breed. They are six weeks old. My best guess is Cream Legbar Cockerels. Due to the head tuft and barring. But their shanks are grey with very slight feathering. I got them from an assortment of rare breeds by Meyer Hatchery. CL cockerel? Or another...

    Breed ID; listed as BCM

    This girl is 6-8 months old. She does not appear to lay eggs yet. She was sold to me from a breeder, but the breeder didn’t hatch her. I think she is from the breeder’s gorgeous BCM rooster, though. She wasn’t expensive, and I don’t care what she is, but I’m not buying the BCM. Any ideas? She...

    What breed are these???

    I know I’ve posted about these chickies before but now they’re much older (3 months old) We got them out out the bantam bin at Tractor Supply and they were noticeably smaller than the other bantams in their bin. One is definitely a cockerel and the other is definitely a pullet! I was thinking...

    What breed are these?

    We got some bantams a while back (they’re almost a month old) and at first we were thinking Black Dutch Bantams or Black Japanese Bantams but that’s definitely not the case now that they are growing copper feathers lolA57F5C04-F4D5-41FA-BB9A-637F74D063AB by BabyAndPoki posted Sep 11, 2019 at...

    Can you help with breed and gender?

    hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...

    Is my chicken a Welsummer?

    When I got her as a pullet last spring Nellie was identified as a Welsummer. But I’m having my doubts. First, her eggs are white (not brown). Second, she doesn’t quite have the same colors/patterns of pics I see online (I think she’s better-looking than those I see online, too ;)). I was hoping...

    Bantam chick breed ID--does it look familiar?

    I got a single bantam chick from assortment at farm store, (to be a buddy for an orphan Spitzhauben I hatched last week from late hatching egg that hen abandoned. Sadly hen would not accept her baby, wanted to kill it. So poor little orphan was alone, crying in a brooder.) Anyway, this...

    Anyone wanna guess what these are a mix of?

    I purchased these guys when they were a few days old. Was told they were a mix of Cochin, Silkie and Serama. With the gray roo, he has feathered feet a funky comb and has started growing a toupee looking bunch of feathers on top of his head. The black chick is super tiny. Smaller than the...

    Dutch Bantam or Old English Game?

    Hey everyone! When I was younger my mom and I went to a show and bought a pair of bantams. We both forget what the seller told us since it's been a few years, and I am curious to know what kind they are since they've had a few kids since moving into our coop. We started out with oegb's but...

    What's this pretty lady?

    This is my neighbor's hen, she is so sweet and quiet. I always wondered what she was because I think she's so kind, quiet, and pretty! Her ears are red, her legs are slate blue and she is HUGE. She doesn't lay anymore but when she did her eggs were blue. She has a light gold lacing only on her...
