Help!! I got these babies from my local farm store, Family Farm and Home. 99% sure that they were labeled as Speckled Sussex, but I didn't take the paper home that marked their breed. From my research, they don't look much like SS chicks? They are two weeks old now, one is all black with a red...
Hi, this is Raven. I got her as an Orpington but she has this different comb and is a bit smaller than my other Orpingtons. Does she look like any specific breed or does anyone have a suggestion of what kind of mix she is? I have some chicks from her and I want to be accurate when I offer...
Does anyone know whether this is a mix or a pure breed of legbar/leghorn/cream crested legbar? On the Internet I can't find exactly similar roosters from these breeds, is it a mix?
Our very first baby chick to hatch and live joined us today, we are currently waiting on another baby chick and two ducklings to hatch. This baby chicks mother decided to be mother hen to everyone’s babies, so have to watch and wait to see how this will turn out!
This little ones mother is a...
I've ordered 1 maran roo and 25 rir to just have a fun experiment 😀. I'm looking to breed a more frequent layer of dark brown eggs. I know some have done this but I'm curious about egg color. Does anyone have any photos?
Hi all! I hatched 3 chicks all about 2 weeks ago! One of them, Steve (12 days old), is growing in these random lifted feathers. Both of his parents are smooth-feathered, as shown in the pictures provided, so I’m unsure where these gene came from if this is a sign of frizzling (sneaky recessive...
Hello everyone!
I'm starting to dream up some future breeds I want to create in the chicken world and one of which I need to produce a smooth feathered silkie.
I'm wondering if a smooth feathered silkie is a genetic difference from the silkie feathering (if it just randomly pops out) or if...
I have 4 chicks that are 2w 2d old from what I believe to be a cream legbar roo and for sure buff orpington hen. I do know there's no real way to tell at this point but I enjoy guessing and since these are my first chicks ever, thought I'd enlist some more experienced guessers to play along! My...
We now have our Swedish flower rooster and I’m eventually going to breed with Swedish flower hens but right now we are barnyard mixed I was just wondering if anyone had any Swedish flower crosses and what they looked like?! I’d love to see some pictures!
Hello! This baby is 11 weeks old as of today! Barn yard mix from a pen of: amerucana, olive egger, black cooper maran, leg bar roosters & hens. I don’t recall what color egg it hatched from. Does not have the hairy leg gene. Looking for your thoughts on whether it’s a hen or roo!
We were given a bunch of mixed breed chickens so we have no ideas on breed but we’re having a hard time sexing them so any help would be greatly appreciated! They’re around 3 months old
Hi, I recently added more ducks to my flock. I will be hatching ducklings in the spring from my flock to sale and I was wondering if anyone has mixed these breed if so what did they look like. I love to see pictures either duckling and/or adults.

Picked up what I thought was a buff Orpington rooster but he went from looking like a young buff to suddenly this massive lanky ginger. I still think it’s half buff based on a few things but what could he be crossed with?
Also if my hens are full and he’s half will they have 3/4 buff chickens?
I purchased this rooster from an older guy at a flock swap, and He is absolutely beautiful! I love his colors.
His comb is flopped over a bit so I cant tell what comb it is.
I'm not new to chickens, just asking anyone if they have any idea what he is?
He has a black chest, Yellow-ish feet on the...
I bought chickens from tractor supply co. and at first I thought I was getting easter eggers, but turns out that's a no haha. Someone said they look like Silver Spangled Hamburg hens, but this one has a lot of black on her. Maybe a "mutt"? Any ideas? She has like a blue/green tint to her black...
I just want to show off these WyBra's that I "made".
I crossed laced wyandotte males with partridge brahma females this year, and thought the resulting pattern was quite lovely, and genetically interesting. It's the best of both patterns, with the partridge back and laced front.
I only got...
I have a goose, Abbi, who I recently posted about being sick (she's doing wonderful by the way) and I was wondering if anyone would help me solve the breed problem. Abbi was given to me by my mother's friend, who told me she's an African, about four or five months ago.
My mother told me that...
