I would be grateful for a little help in identifying this cutie. I got her yesterday from a neighbour who is in the egg industry, so I think she's probably a dark campbell, but is it possible she could be a cayuga? I'm not at all fussed, just trying to educate myself on breed identification.
Hi All! Very new still, here & raising chickens lol. I am curious to know what your favorite breed is? I understand each one has it's own personality, but just overall. I currently have lavender orpingtons but I really want to get another breed that just sticks out. Thanks!
I got 2 White Sport Legbar pullets from TSC not too long ago and I would like to know what exactly a White Sport Legbar is? Is it any different from a White Legbar?
i feel stupid asking this. but is there any way to check tractor supply’s website on what breeds of live chicks they will have at my location? i feel like i am running in circles on their website. i found chickens in bulk but i wanna know what breeds they will have that i can go there and get...
Weird question that probably is really dumb -
I have this chick that is now around six weeks old that I thought was a pulley the whole time, but now I’m second guessing myself.
It struts like a rooster constantly, is definitely “in charge” of the other pullets, is a bit aggressive towards me...
Hi! I have had this hen for 2 years now and never knew her breed. The place where I bought her from never told me what breed she is. (Sorry if I'm holding her wrong, she's really fat and heavy.)
When I first bought them, the lady present said Bantams. Then I was doubting so I called the store and the lady that owns the place told me that they were jersey giants and gold stars. I've done a lot of research on gold stars and hardly anything pops up, it's genuinely annoying lol so idk if...
What breed/sex chickens are these? I know what the silkies are of course, but I have no idea if they're male or female. Was told the small white one was a speckled Sussex which is crazy and was told the small black one was a prairie Bluebell Egger. The bigger White and black are about 6 Weeks...
I picked up my order of Green Queens this morning from Meyer and forgot to ask what breed my meal maker chick is. She’s a day old.
The photo of her in the brooder (standing on the feeder, of course) is to show the brown stripe marking on her back.
She may very well be a GQ, but the Meyer site...
Hello, these are unknown chicks I hatched in an incubator. Any ideas on what breed they may be and are they auto sexing? I think I’ve read something about a breed being auto sexing with a black spot on its head or back? I think it may be a Sussex breed but I’m unsure. Help!!
Just out of pure curiosity, anyone know the breeds of my brown and my white chickies? Or are they just Easter eggers? I got them at an animal shelter and they said they're 1-2 years old. They both have very mild personalities unlike the one in the back who is noisy and jumpy (I'm assuming she's...
Hey all, new to silkie chickens here. We recently purchased a new silkie and upon doing some research, noticed that the crest is not the standard silkie type. Is this just a regressive silkie gene? or could this be a mixed breed? Everything else seems to be regular silkie, although she does have...
From those that have had Marek’s in the flock, it would be interesting to know how many chickens from each breed survived or didn’t - maybe that could give some idea of disease susceptibility. If you’re interested too, please share
For us:
Lost 1 BO (confirmed Marek’s) & 1 GLW (suspect...
So, here's my dilemma. It's kind of a long story so please bear with me. We bought 2 ducklings from TSC and the same day bought 4 chicks from a local non-chain farm store. They've been raised together and do great together. We then hatched out (via incubator) 9 baby chickens that we are brooding...
I have a Rhode Island Roo with Smokey Pearl hens. Has anyone bred the mix? If so what was the color produced? I have 9 eggs in incubator and 19 under a broody hen! Just curious as what I can expect with mix.
