    What is a Chicken breed?

    Thought I would post this to give some clarity to what a breed is…also a link to the American Poultry Association who are the folks who defined the recognized breeds in the U.S. The purpose to a breed is so a buyer knows what to expect when purchasing a chicken. If it is a certain breed they...

    Hi, After our vacation we had some surprise chicks! We started out with 11 chicks, but unfortunately a hawk got 2. The other 9 are 10.5 weeks old and at first I thought I would wait and see what they would become, but I'm getting more curious with the day =). Hoping someone wants to make a...

    What colors are these quail babies?

    New to quail, just hatched these babies yesterday. Can anyone tell me what their colors are? They hatched from both Celadon and Jumbo Coturnix eggs (although not sure which came from which) 😅 Thanks!

    ISA Brown?

    My Dad got her from a friend who got her off of Facebook Marketplace. Any ideas of breed, or is she a BYM? She also appears to have been debeaked.

    What breed is she?

    We recently caught a stray chicken that's been hanging around our yard from the other side of the fence for at least a month. At first, she would just pace the fence and chat with our girls. Occasionally, she would hop the fence and stand outside our chicken yard, squawking to be let in, but...

    What breed and gender are they?

    I hatched some eggs that were supposed to be Red sex links. I assumed the white one was a male and the dark one was a female as chicks are with sex links but they seem to be the opposite! Are they a different breed? They are 3 months old now. One crowed over a month ago but not since...

    What breed is this chicken?

    Can anyone tell me what breed of chicken this is? If it helps, we got them from another person who gave us pekin bantams, but they're a bit bigger than our pekins. And as a bonus, the rooster on the last picture (a son of one of these breeds), is he also that breed but the rooster alternative?
