I am usually very good with chicken breeds. But this one has me stumped. I know that some of them are Polish but. I cannot figure out what the other ones are. They look more like golden seabrights, but they have yellow/cream feathered feet, so that makes me think mille fleur d'uccle. Does...
I have hatched out quite a few of my own eggs, quite a few times, but this time I got this black chick. Like it's black black, not a dark brown. What color do y'all think this will be when it grows up? Because I am stumped lol.

Hey guys! This is probably just the start of all of my genetic questions when it comes to coloring on quail. So thank y'all for putting up with me. I'm trying to learn lol. So from research I have found that a yellow chick with a couple of gray striped while be a silver. My favorite color. So I...
Okay so I have two questions. My first question. The color silver in coturnix Quail is recessive correct? So with that being said, if I breed together two silver quail, will all of their babies be silver? If the line is clean. Second question, if I breed a silver male over a Texas A&m female...
This quail chick is 6 days old. It's done this since day one. I know it's not splayed leg, because it can hold both of them underneath itself. It's almost like it's paralyzed on one side, with minimal movement. Does anyone know what this could be, or how to fix it?
So I bought this from a store near my house. I actually have like 8 of them lol. They were not marked, so I was curious as to what they were. I still haven't been able to identify it 🤦 And so far it hasn't produced anything. They'll get pollinated, then turn yellow, then shrivel up. So if I can...
Forgive the fact that these aren't great pics, because ya know... They're quail 🤣 But they were sold to me as Jumbo Japanese. Most of them have that wild type color. But I have about 5 or 6 of these golden (?) Colored ones. Are they still japanese or something else? Thank y'all in advance!
Hey guys! So I'm newish to quail and I'm trying to sex them. I don't think I have any crowers right now since I've looked up their sounds. But I've had a few birds making this noise. Can someone help me figure out what it is?
So in picture #1 I'm positive it's a girl, and picture #2 I'm almost certain it's a boy (the one directly beside the waterer). So my question is, is #3 a female as well? I know that speckled chest is female and rust colored is male. But what about kinda rust colored with slight speckles like pic...

Lol, it's that time of year again! Chicks are hatching and being bought and roosters are everywhere!! I have 4 that I need to get rid of :lol: The youngest 3 range from 6-8 weeks old and they are a Welsummer, a Plymouth Rock, and a light brahma! The older rooster at about 10 months old is an...
I have 3 young roosters that I need to find homes for. I do not have any pictures at the moment as I can not upload them from my phone. If you are interested in one though, I would be more then happy to get you a picture and upload it from my computer. I have available, a Welsummer rooster, a...
Hi! I gave a rather "odd" question. I have ten hens. Four if them are laying. My silkie who lays a cream egg, my two Easter Eggers who both lay a green egg but one is a bit more bluish then the other, and a buff orpington (That's what she resembles.... I've done much research on the breed.) And...

Ok guys I need some help... I went to collect one of my chicken's 2nd egg. She laid her first yesterday, and her second today. Well I gave it to my mom and she noticed a small hole in the shell, then she held the egg up in the light and the inside kinda looked black. We decided not to eat the...
Four days after I got rid of my roosters one of my Easter Eggers laid her first egg. It was a beautiful green!!!! On the same day my other two Pullet started doing the egg squat. This was 3 days ago. My question is, how long until they lay now. I am very anxious for eggs lol! I have waited for...
Why is my Buff Orpington's (?) Comb kinda purple on the tips? Also one of my hens has one kinda purple ear. I do have one last question, why is my Easter Egger's comb kinda reddish orangish in color? Is it because she is about to lay? TIA
