This Buff Orpington came from TSC at the same time as the Wellbars and the Lavender and the other Buff. It grew a comb a week or two ago. We have 2 separate flocks at the moment. There are a group of hens living outside and a mixed group of sort of "teens", ducks, and chicks living together...

4 week old silkies. 1 partridge, 1 buff, 2 white. Saw an article on U shaped combs vs V shaped combs to tell the gender (boy-U, girl-V) and it makes me wonder if you can tell earlier bc my chicks have very clear U and Vs at this age 🤷🏼‍♀️ might as well guess as we wait 😝

Hello! Not new to chicken raising in general (variety of mutts at former workplace) but finally new to having my own chickens at home! I acquired 2 welsummers, 2 brown leghorns (I'll not know the difference between those four until their earlobes change), and 2 buff orpingtons from a local feed...

Hey, could anyone help me determine the quality of my buff silkie hen? I’m new to judging birds but I think that she has a lot of really nice qualities. Probably not quite show quality but much better than any hatchery stock. On a side note does anyone know what colors I’d get if I breed her to...

Hi, I’ve read the very detailed article on here about duck genetics but I am still confused. I have three Indian Runner females and I am going to be getting them a drake this week. One choice is a buff Runner and the other choice is a black Runner. I am afraid that if I choose the black one...

Silkies are about 3 months old, no crowing yet. Looking at the buff & white silkies. White one was really difficult to get photos of. Hens or roo?

We got a straight run of chickens mid February, but have a few too many roosters. We have two buff Orpington roosters that are coming into their own, and would be great for a their own flock. They are too nice of a roosters for eating, and would be great free range roosters. Protective of their...

Hello! 😄 I’m planning on working on a line of red silkies. It seems like there is a lot of confusion out there on the red/buff genetics, so I’m HOPING (🙏🏼🙏🏼) someone can shed some more light on how it actually works. My limited understanding is that buff genes have red diluters and red genes...

I have a hen that is from a lavender Orpington rooster and buff Orpington hen. I don't have a picture of her right now, but I can get one later. What do you think I would get if I bred her to my blue Cochin bantam roo? Any ideas are super appreciated!! Also, ive hatched out a couple chicks from...

Hey everyone! I am looking to add a few bearded Buff silkies (hens and one rooster), d'uccles (hens, any color but especially mille fleur), and possibly a few serama hens. We are also very much wanting to load up the incubators to add to our large mixed "fun flock" This flock contains our pet...

Hello everyone! I raise pet backyard chicks and currently have 19 ranging from 5 months to 5 years in age. I have a few pullets that I can only guess as to what their colors & genetics are. I hatched them from my backyard flock, from my one rooster as the father. The rooster is supposedly...

This silkie has a brown line across its back…is it just going to be a dark buff color or is it possibly a partridge? Don’t mind the wet feet, she had pasty butt so I had to soak her butt right before the pic…

When i go to give my bantam buff Cochin hen some scritchies, she makes a distressed noise!? Maybe she thinks my hand is a scary hawk i dont want her to be scared!!

Good day too all, I've been interested in a project for quite some time and finally committed to seeing it through! The goal of the project: To create a bird that is buff/lemon cuckoo in color, has a long tail, lays blue/green eggs and is able to go broody. Brids that I have at the moment...

Hey everyone :) has anyone else ever hatched buff splash silkies? I have a few this colour and I’d love to see if anyone has adults this colour

Rebellious one aren't ya! I like that😉 If you have had either Saxony or Buff ducks I need your opinion and maybe some pics too! I have Seven ducklings purchased on the 12th of September and they looked like Saxony babies but now they look like buff teenagers! I'll attach pics and I would...

When I was out with the hens as they were free ranging tonight I noticed the ones beak looked off. I grabbed her to get a closer look and the tip is broke and there is some black buildup towards base of beak. Black buildup may just be dirt from pecking around yard and run. Is this cause for...

Hi everyone, I am brand new to backyard chickens and need help. the person I bought these off have said they are all hens and doesn’t know what age they are. Can you let me know if you think they are all hens and an approximate age if possible?

Hi All! I am new to raising chickens and this is my first flock. They're 7 weeks old now and I have made some guesses but am unsure as to genders. I would love some input and another pair of eyes! Also Chick 9 - Stripey is a buff Sussex/cream legbar cross. Apparently both parents were buff...

I just found out I have 3 silkie cockerels. 1 black, 1 gray, and 1 buff. I have 2 confirmed pullets-1 white and 1 buff. Which color roo would you keep? I can't keep them all since I have other roos and my bantam flock isn't going to be that big... The black silkie is only 3 weeks old at this...
