    Rabbit breeds?

    I have 3 (pet) rabbits, but I’m unsure on their breeds. I’m pretty sure Phoebe (darker, 3-4yo) is mostly satin but she used to be feral so who knows.. her ears are pretty small compared to the other 2. Marcy (brown and white, 5mo) had a barnyard mix mom and feral dad. Poppy(black and white 3yo)...

    Pullet?

    I was almost certain Prismo was a pullet.. she doesn’t show any rooster traits. She’s a cross between a white Jersey giant hen and golden Deathlayer rooster… she’s always looked like a pullet but I noticed her hackles are starting to look questionable while preening her. Hatched late...

    Cochin x buff orp?

    I bought a few retiring Cochin bantams. Butterball definitely isn’t a pure… in thinking part buff orp? She’s a bit bigger with a pointier tail and less leg feathers. Pinkish skin

    Pekins?

    Going to pick up some of these sweet girls. I think they’re pekins? But I’m not positive. Definitely getting the double laced and some other(I’ll be picking 2 out of 5) What are they? The owner says she doesn’t know chickens, her daughter is the chicken person who is not at home currently...

    How early can Deathlayer lay?

    I looked it up and it says 18-22wks but my girls are 13wks and laying… Yakul specifically, not her sister yet. I am positive it is hers, I’ve spotted her in the nest boxes and the only other white layer I have is my bantam but she lays much bigger then this(also somewhere in the woods)

    100% a hen?

    I am almost certain Penny is a hen but I’m paranoid. She’s potentially my oldest hens last baby… her mom is 6yrs old, I don’t know if she will still be laying next time I hatch. She’s the one standing. Hatched mid April. Her brother has fast maturing genes but all of Cinnamon’s babies have been...

    Chicken freckles!

    Anyone else got a chicken with freckles? This is Cody Maverick. She started with big bushy eyebrows (hence the name) but as she aged they’ve turned into the cutest little freckles 😆

    Golden Deathlayer, white tail tip

    Yet another Deathlayer question. I’ve noticed one of my pure golden deathlayers has a white tail tip, is that normal? Does it mean she’s not pure? The first two are’t her that’s my white Jersey giant Deathlayer mix but she looks the same. Last picture is the best I have of the pure. She is...

    Baby update gender guesses

    Any guesses on these guys? I know they’re too young to be 100% but doesn’t hurt to guess! I have a few more but I already know their genders. All but the Marans hatched mid April, the Marans are a few weeks younger Penny is a black sex link(mom) Swedish flower(dad) Bloo is a splash maran(mom)...

    What is this comb and what will it look like?

    Prismo is a golden deathlayer(rooster) over white jersey giant(hen). She has always had a flat comb but I just recently noticed she has a single spike sticking out of it. Has anyone seen this before?

    Will she develop anymore color?

    This is a golden Deathlayer(rooster) over lavender Orpington(hen), she’s about a month old.. maybe a little under. Will she develop any color other than black with white/grey down feathers?

    Early maturing cockerel?

    Now.. I know how behavior is easily written off as him being his mother’s sassy chick but I don’t think I can deny him being a cockerel any longer. Thought it should confirm.. thick legs, reddening comb, tidbitting and dominant chick(I know hens can be dominant chicks, I just also know it can...

    Care questions

    I’m getting my first pigeons/doves this year(I have experience with exotics) I’m looking for cheap but reliable and safe brands for their supplies/food? And any other info I need to know. I’m currently researching them through my ornithology books. Not positive on breed yet, either...

    Another Deathlayer color genetic

    Is the “golden” in golden deathlayers non-dominant? I have a couple pures and a few mixes, the rooster is a golden deathlayer. The white and black ones have a Brahma momma, the multi-colored has a white Jersey giant momma and the black one has a lavender Orpington momma. Now what's confusing...

    BCM over SM

    What would a black copper maran rooster over a splash maran hen produce? So far she’s just blue, but I’m wondering how I should expect her to feather out (still with the splash pattern? Partly red? No splash pattern?) Parents are the last two

    Egg shell powder

    I’ve read up on egg shell health benefits so I’m starting to process them into a powder to add to stuff! Any recommendations for recipes? Foods, drinks, pastries, dog food powder, etc.

    Poultry preservation thread (CW; deceased poultry)

    CW; Preserved whole/parts of poultry and/or the progress. My rooster passed away last month, he was the best rooster I’ve ever had. Absolutely broke my heart. So we decided to preserve his feet! I wanted to see everyone else’s experience with preserving so please share here! Here’s the...

    Hens age stunting chicks growth?

    Henny Penny is a couple hours older than her hatch mates but she’s half their size. I’m fairly certain she’s from my 6 year old hen which is the only explanation I can think of for her being so tiny? She did have an injury with the brooder plate coming apart and falling on her (not enough to...

    BCM or brahma mix?

    I was hoping they’d be BCM mixes but I’m starting to think I got unlucky 😅 thoughts? Not very good photos. They’re pretty skittish. Dola has a white face and black body but she has white growing in with black on her wings and tail, her feet feathers are also white. Jiji is black with white...

    Chick squatting

    I know pullets and submissive cockerels will squat early on but this is SUPER early on. This is Tombo, they’re not even a week old and they’re already squatting for me, like full on squat which they held… wings out and all. Do chicks normally do that this early on?
