hi all! So today I went to tractor supply and I bought six chicks from a "premium pullets" assortment lol that's what it was labeled! And yesterday I bought some labeled ameraucanas. but most of the chicks I got today have BEARDS and look like EEs/ameraucanas!! and I didn't notice until I got...
I got some chicks from a local in my area who bought a large order from Hoover Hatchery. He had multiple varieties, such as olive Eggers, and ISA browns. He said that the ones he sold me were olive Eggers, but I have doubts. I don’t think that they’re ISA browns, either. Do you guys have any...
Hi!
This mystery chick hatched from a medium brown egg 4 days ago. Any idea what breed he/she may be?
It’s very spunky, digs in the shavings more than the others, and likes to chest bump the other chicks. Not that any of that has anything to do with the type of chicken they’ll grow up to be:)
Does anyone know the breed or gender of this baby chicken? It has fluffy cheeks, pale legs, dark gray tinted white feathers and black eyes. Sorry for the messy photo they're in the coop now. Unfortunately this little baby doesn't have a mother
Beginner with chickens (my neighbor had to give them up and could find anyone). Anyone know the breeds or possible age? Thank you inadvance! This site has been great to learn about the best way to care for our new babies!
I got these three Ameraucana chicks from tractor supply they are 7 weeks old now and I don’t know if they are potentially true breeds/ what genders
Chicken hawk (black)- has hardly any tail feathers
Owl (second image) (pecks me a lot)
And whitey (runs up and flogs at everyone)
I know the pictures are not good to be able to tell, but if possible, can anyone tell me the breed of these chicks my sister got from TSC? Their yellow with black on their wings. She can't remember what they were.
I currently breed D'uccles but have taken a friends splash polish in because she wants some chicks and I have a polish roo. My question is what chicks would we get from a white capped black polish rooster and a splash polish hen? Can anyone explain the genetics and possible chicks we could get...
Hey all! Any idea the breed of this duckling from TS? I'm assuming probably Pekin but the dark head and backside give me pause that maybe she's something else? Just would like some input from those with more breed expertise.
Thank you!!
hello, i’m back with an update on Noah, our mystery chick!
i’m looking for any advice or opinion on what breed Noah could be?
i should note that she was selected from a Black Australorp bin.
her coloring is a smidge lighter in person.
she is most assuredly grey and not black.
thank you in...
A few months ago I got 8 pullets and this beige one is the funniest looking one. I am curious what she might be. Her egg color is a very light brown with almost pinkish color. Also I have what I believe to be a white leghorn but she’s laying cream colored eggs is this a thing?
We had some chicks be left on our door step AND we have a bantam bundle we ordered from Cackle. I need help figuring out their breeds, they’re small so I’m sure it’s still too hard to gender them, but if you can I’ll appreciate it!
Hello again all!
My second batch of babies is about ready to be introduced to my other hens. They are all 5 weeks old and are all supposed to be pullets, however, I'm nervous about a couple as their combs are pretty large and are turning red (though it may be the breed). WHICH brings me to my...
hello!
i recently brought home a chick a week and a half ago from my local feed store — she was in with the Black Australorp chicks but, from the get go, she didn’t look like that to me.
attached is her picture.
she’s grey with black and is now developing copper flecking on her wing feather...
Hello! We just picked up these little ones last week, so they hatched about 4 or 5 days ago. The two with the chipmunk stripes should be easter egger, but we're not sure about the gray. The primary feathers came in white, but the new ones are light gray.
The breeds on offer at the time were...
Just picked these up from Bomgaars (like Tractor Supply). Labeled as “Hatchery Choice Layers”. They’re brand new babies so I don’t know if it’s too early to get a good read but I’m down for some guesses!
Pictures are as good as I could get without holding them lol jumpy things. Orange is pretty...
He comes down to see my girls and while my two old hens don’t lay anymore I just got eight chicks and I want to incubate their eggs in the future so I wanted to know what he is if he ends up fertilizing any future eggs. I’d ask my neighbors what he is but they live down the road from their barn...
My sweet ducks were purchased last spring from the Cayuga duck bin at a local Tractor Supply.
I know that ducks can be pet quality etc. But I have a feeling my male is not full Cayuga. I mean, maybe? These are my first ducks! I am hatching there ducklings are black, black footed (so far), and...
