A friend of a friend sent us pics of their hen, they aren't sure of the breed. We aren't experts, just have our light sussex girls in the backyard. My first thought was barred rock but could possibly be wyandotte or another breed I haven't heard of!.... Any experts out there that could say for...
Hi! I'm a newbie. I bought 8 pullets in June. One is gray and came from the Rhode Island Red bin. Beautiful bird and appears to be a roo, still not crowing at 17 weeks. But I can't figure out what breed this is. Also one of my speckled sussex is also a roo. Is it ok to have 2 roosters if they...
I had an awful bobcat massacre that wiped out half of my flock, so we were so excited that one of our remaining eggs hatched. I have no idea what breed she is as we have a few unique guys if you could lend a hand!
My roosters were a silver laced polish and a white silkie.
My hens were either...
Hi there! I’m new to backyard chicken raising and have a young flock of six 18-week old pullets. They are my sweet babies and they all have fun distinct personalities.
Looking forward to reading about all of the community’s great ideas and problem solving when needed.
I’m not 100% on the...
He’s fairly large, a hair bigger than my 5 month old Brahma, who is towering over the rest of my girls. Picked him up from an older couple who had taken their son’s chickens after he got bored with them, they didn’t really know anything about him. This picture does not do him justice, he’s a...
These three (besides the Sapphire Gem in the background) are seven weeks old. Dad is a RIR. Moms could be a Barred Rock, Wyandotte, 2 Easter Eggers, or an older Faverolles. All the parents besides the Fav are pictured.
More importantly, what are y’all thinking for genders?
I’m thinking…
Black...
Hi all, got given this little hen, Sally, after she was the lone survivor of a fox attack that took out her whole flock. Would love to know what she might be, mostly just put of curiosity as her previous owner had no idea!
I had thought maybe a leghorn but she lays beautiful chocolate speckled...
Hi guys. I hatched out 7 chicks in an incubator and they are now 3 months old. This one is a mixed breed. It has a friend that looks very similar but is a hen. Which hen would be the mom?
Father = some kind of marans
Mother could be:
Cuckoo marans
Amberlink
Cinnamon Queen
Light Brahma
Easter...
I got these 10 as babies from a feed store. They told me they were Ameracaunas, however, I know many times they are not true. Just curious if your thoughts if they are actually EE? Thank you!!
Hi! I purchased these from Rural King and I don’t believe they were labeled correctly. What breed are these?
1 and 3 unknown but they are from the same bin. Lays brown eggs
2- labeled as an Easter Egger but looks just like chicken #3 but has a different comb. Lays a green egg
4-...
I got her about nine years ago, and I think she was mislabeled as a maran or something. I have looked at so many pictures of different breeds, and nothing looks like her. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I added a ton more pictures (probably too many)
(Sorry for the bad pictures, they are old...
I think I got a mixed breed because the lacing is definitely off. I was wondering what other breed is in her possibly? She's huge for 7 weeks, much bigger than the other 3 chicks.. her comb is also very flat basically nonexistent.. I have another female that has a few of these feathers maybe 2...
I’ve had this mallard since a couple days old. The whole time I have thought female, but have noticed 2 small curled tail feathers and the head has a green sheen. This duck is now 17 weeks old. Please tell me I don’t have another drake bc the sexes are really starting to show now that I have...
This is lemon. I’m assuming she is a crested cream legbar cross. She came to me as a hatching egg.
Any guess what she’s crossed with? 19 weeks and not laying yet.
Would love to know if anyone has an EE that looks like her.
So....I have a chick who will be 6 weeks on Friday and I have no idea what to think! It was supposed to be a blue laced red Wyandotte, obviously not, then we thought red sexlink, nope, then amberlink, to much red. I have no idea!!!! I got her from rural king, supplied by hoover hatchery, and in...
I thought I had all female until this past 2 weeks when I noticed the drake feather and the coloring of the saxonys head starting to get the blueish grey look. So far I had these 2 with 3 others that I know are female. One of them I traded. So now I have 5 females and the 2 that I am suspecting...
