    Color ID (& sex if possible) Coturnix

    Dang, quickly candled two and both looked empty & clear. Two more days until "lockdown" :( girlies are still laying so I guess I can try another round after this

    Chick Mystery Box!

    If you post more pics we can take a look but it'll be easier to ID the older they get too :D

    What color is my rooster?

    I am not familiar with Mauve, other than knowing people often breed Mauve while they also breed Chocolates & Lav lol. So I cannot ID him as I haven't really worked with or seen many, but genetically it appears they'd be a Chocolate/Blue mix (similar to Lilac in dogs). In which case: Mauve +...

    Sexing 4 Barred Hollands, 8 weeks old

    I was reading that going "wha- when did I say that?!" of course I was nerding out quoting the APA sop back 8 years ago 🤣

    What color is my rooster?

    It didn't show the pic with the chicks, they certainly aren't all black so there's definitely some other hens or genes your boy carries! Barring is obvious, I would assume the barring is sex linked from your hen, not him. I believe the pattern on his neck is something different but I can't...

    What color is my rooster?

    he just looks like a poor quality lavender to me, with leakage, plus maybe some extra corn ;D my lavender get a "corn necklace" we call it lol Lav + Barred Black = black pullets, black barred cockerels Lav + choc = black chicks, carrying choc + lav Lav + SLW = black chicks, carrying lav +...

    Chick Mystery Box!

    Behaviorally that matches my buttercup I had! The markings seemed a bit off but they have a very obvious comb. I was suspicious of BC but didn't hear back about what combs they had. I would be surprised if #1 was a buttercup with those markings but time will tell!

    Americanas - 7 Weeks Old

    I'm no wyandotte master but I'm getting boy vibes. I looked through this which has nice side-by-sides, I feel like yours is a little column A a little column B, I'd give it some extra time but I wouldn't count it pullet just yet personally (and maybe be pleasantly surprised later!)...

    Help with IDing colors 🎨

    In my experience we saw way more "poor blacks" ie a black with just not great color to it, weak, than we saw really dark blues. Maybe it's just some breeders preference for a bird who looks distinctly blue so that's what ended up common over here, but typically it was poor black not dark blue

    Leghorn and what breed is the other?

    I work at an animal shelter and I always gotta tell people that these dogs are not DNA tested, they are visually IDd to a close visual match but the only thing we can guarantee is it's 100% dog 🤣

    Hens or roos

    This is too young to sex based off of wings and combs, give them another few weeks and keep observing growth and behavior 👍

    Rooster picking on hen

    So I don't know why they do it but our hens always were upset at the broodies unless it was top hen, in which case that hen would just kick the hell out of them. The way we'd fix it was well to break the broody. We didn't have any problem roosters, it was just the flock said "no" to that hen...

    Is this a black copper maran rooster?

    I would guess something else, he's got clean legs. But without knowing if he's from a hatchery/feedstore or someones backyard mix it's hard to say for sure (doesn't help he's a fairly average red/black color vs say a crele thats easy to ID 🤣)

    LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

    My neighborhood is routinely a warzone around the 4th. We had fireworks starting on the 31st of June and they're still happening daily & nightly. On the 4th they began lighting them off at 11am and didn't stop until 3:30am-3:45am was the last time I heard one (the dogs won't let me sleep until...

    Help with IDing colors 🎨

    I believe your IDs are correct, although I'm unsure how show quality the colors are, im rusty in silkies

    Help to sex young Sussex 12 weeks

    I believe they start about mid way down the back, but I'd check higher up if you're unsure just in case. Iirc they should start mid way up the back and eventually be long enough to flow off the body in the classic saddle shape

    Could mystery chick be an opal legbar?

    Could be, give it time and post photos when they're older :)

    Ameracauna and?

    She's just an easter egger :) they're like "doodles" they have a pretty classic look but some variation in size & color, and while are kind of a mixed breed, they're kind of their own thing. There is no chicken DNA tests widely available and likely her parents looked like her and their parents...
