Okay so about a month ago, my beloved Rudy the Turken rooster succumbed to his injuries after fighting off some sort of predator. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but he and one hen were missing at bedtime, couldn't find any sign of either of them anywhere, and Rudy literally hobbled in...
Hello! I'm having trouble determining the breed of one of my eight week old chicks. :,) Based on hours of research, I believe she's a female silver penciled cochin, maybe mixed at the very least, but I'm honestly not 100% on that. Any input? If needed, I can get better pictures of her, I just...
Help wanted! What breed are these BLACK chicks? I know there is a Rhode Island Red (she likes to photobomb).
Hi! I am newly registered to this website, so I hope someone sees this.
About 9 weeks ago, I purchased two baby chicks from a Coastal Community Store. The cashier who checked me out...
Hello! We have a new batch of chicks this year and several of them came from an "assortment" at the feed store. Can anyone tell me what breed these young ladies are?? Thanks!!
I bought some chicks that I expected to be Easter Eggers, but a couple seem distinct. The top little one has feathers all down to her toes and has yellowish fur. There is a black and grey one with legs that seem to be turning black/slate; there’s one with distinct eye markings. The other two...
Hi, 2-4 weeks ago my 7-yo daughter and I bought these baby chicks at a tractor supply. My daughter is very good at taking care of them (she is a proficient helper!), and we’ve only lost one yesterday (a sibling of #19) to a hawk attack... My daughter keeps asking me to post chick pictures here...

I need some help IDing this little chick!
Yesterday, 2/4 eggs hatched under my broody hen. I originally got the eggs from an exhibitor at a local fairground. He had marked the shells with these breeds:
-Silver Spangled Hamburg
-Silver Leghorn
-Lakenvelder
-Silver Phoenix
Out of the two that...
Hello all. I got 5 day old chicks last week from a lady who mail orders them. I wanted half a dozen Ameraucanas but ended up with 2 Ameraucanas, 1 barred rock, and 2 others that were supposed to be silver laced Wyandottes. I've never had any Wyandottes, so I am not sure what they typically look...
I purchased this little guy from a feed store. I was told that their assorted bantam chicks are ordered from Ideal Poultry. I immediately went to the website and dug through countless pages of bantam chickens trying to identify this chickadee's breed. Any guesses out there?
