    WHAT COULD THIS BE?!

    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?

    Ameraucana cross? Mixed breed identification

    Trying to figure out a breed here. One of my hens is a mixed-breed, born this spring, I think she's probably crossed with a purebred black ameraucana (hence the cheek puffs), however it is also possible her mother is a mixed breed as well. My flock of 6 started laying for the first time...

    Ameraucana and Serama Mix

    Attached are pictures of the parents and a picture of the first chick to hatch so far, it does appear to have retained the puffy cheeks of the Ameraucana. After drying, its hatched weight was 27 grams out of eggs that average around 40 grams in weight. It almost has a bluish looking color, not...

    Chick sexing Cockerels or Pullets

    Here we go again! Got 7 chicks for you guys to throw your guesses at. This is not my first rodeo with raising chicks and if you followed my original run, I was really unlucky with the Roosters (6 R/9 H). It's time again to have a guess - I'm well aware that attempting to sex them this early is...

    Are they both hens or roosters?

    I’ve been seeing here lately that my two 12 week old chickens have been acting pretty macho and having quick fights with one another. Can anyone tell me if they’re hens or roos? They are the white chicken and the black/orange one.

    Bella

    Just wanted to come on here and share a bit about one of my chicks, “Bella” (Italian for “beautiful”). We rescued her from a friend back in the beginning of April. She was only a few days old and born a runt so the other chicks were really beating her up. We took her home (as our first chicken...

    Guess the dad: Barred Rock or Black Australorp on Sapphire Gem hens

    I was "sure" that by the time we incubated fresh eggs that the old rooster DNA should be GONE from the hens' oviducts... Well, now that they've hatched, I'm questioning if that's the case. LOL Here are some pics of our hatched chicks. Please help me figure out if the dad was a Black Australorp...

    Hello everyone!

    Seems a hello is the right thing here! My name is Cynthia, I live in WV and I currently have 5 chickens. Now I’m off to post some questions so here’s my oldest hen with a broken beak tip! (I promise she’s perfectly fine, just looking a little rough!)

    How do I breed smooth-feathered silkies?

    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...

    Interesting little thing! Any ideas on breeds?

    Hey guys! I took in this little one from a friend because it was growing up alone :( Does anyone have any ideas what breeds it could be? I've never seen a chick like it, haha. Also, any idea about hen vs. rooster? I'm guessing it's about 5.5/6 weeks old. It's maybe just a tiny bit bigger than...

    What is this chick?

    So I have a small flock, 11 chickens, 12 now I guess. 9 Barred Rock hens, 1 Buff Orpington hen, 1 Buff Orpington rooster, and now this little fuzzball named Nugget. My Buff Orpington hen, Elizabeth, was trying to hatch 3 eggs. She hatched 1 and abandoned the other 2 eggs. Looking at this chick...

    Looking for help with sexing - 8 weeks

    Hi there, I have 4 chicks at 8 weeks old. They are from a mixed flock. I think the white one (Houdini) might be from the blue Araucana egg though sadly I was away when they hatched and my husband didn't check. The black one (Spot) had a yellow spot on its head as a little chick. This one...

    Silkie or silkie mix?

    I'm trying to figure out if this chick is a silkie or silkie mix. What's making me think it's not a silkie is cause it hatched with light colored legs that have gotten darker over the past week. The legs are still a little yellowish green. The non-silkie hen I suspect might be it's mother is a...

    My family's New Hampshire/Buff Polish Crosses!

    hi there, new to this website. Last spring, Me and my family incubated and hatched our chicken's eggs to see what we would get. We got some chickens from a New Hampshire rooster and our Buff Polish hens, which my mom has dubbed, "Crested New Englands". I'm curious if anybody else here has bred...

    Breeding silkie + 2 other breeds. What to expect?

    Hello! I will be breeding a silkie rooster to a bantam brahma and a frizzle bantam cochin. The 2 non-silkie girls live with my silkies and I figured that since I'm probably gonna accidentally mix their eggs in with the silkie hatching eggs, I might aswell purposely hatch some chicks from them. I...

    2 roosters need home, 7-8 weeks of age

    I have 2 white roosters with pea combs needing to be rehomed to a good home or farm. They are beautiful and sweeties. They come from a small farm, not a hatchery. They are not vaccinated, and have been fed non-gmo, non-medicated feed since received in the mail.

    What would this color look silked? Is it worth continuing to breed these mixes?

    I hatched 3 black silkie x isabella bantam brahma chicks. They're still very young (one is 5weeks, one is 4 weeks and one is around 2 weeks), but I have a feeling 2 are roos and the youngest will be a pullet. Still no way of knowing. Hoping for at least 1 pullet. If I get a pullet I really want...
