    Can you help me ID my roo?

    I’m just super curious … This is Mean Bean, he is 1 yr and 4 months old (I’ve had him since he was 2 days old). I was told by the local farmer where I adopted him from that his clutch was Novogens. Obviously a barnyard mix 😬 And yes, there were other breeds running around at the farm but none...

    Is this a Blue-Swedish/Mallard Hybrid?

    We lost our "Squeaky"-duck to a predator in early January. She was a feral escape that walked cross-country onto our place one afternoon. Initially very skittish, but we became close friends and she loved to race me and our kayak around the pond. She was small-to-medium in size, and not heavy...

    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...

    heritage vs mutt, which is more hardy?

    Just a thought that came to mind... Many heritage breeds are cold hardy, take heat well enough (as long as you give them shade and water), and free range well enough. Do you think mutt chickens would be more hardy? Or could you Rhode Islanders or Plymouths (or any breed really become more...

    Cross chicks feather faster than pure bred?

    As someone who just started raising pure bred chicks this year I noticed that all of my pure bred chicks (orpington, barred rocks, wyandotte) got feathered a lot slower than all of my mutts/crosses. Is that the case for those of you who also raised pure bred and crossed/mutt chicks?

    What color is this?

    I have an almost 9 week old cockerel (I think) and I’m curious what color he will be. I’m pretty new to chickens. I got my first birds in March. He almost looks like a speckled Sussex or a jubilee Orpington but he’s lighter and doesn’t had as much white. His father is an Easter egger and mother...

    Is this hen silver blue?

    This is Violet, a mixed breed hen that I have, idk if this is perfect silver blue, and I don't think it's genetically silver blue, but could it be considered silver blue?

    My Egg Pipped!

    I'm just super excited so I made a thread! My girls just stared laying and I popped one egg in the bator and it pipped this morning! It's from my Sapphire Olive Egger (she doesn't lay green eggs but oh well) and most likely my White Japanese Bantam. It's pipped at the wrong end but I've had eggs...

    What breeds are in this mix hen?

    Silkie? Polish? Serama? Sebright? Pekin? A bit of everything blended into one adorable tiny hen? :confused: Tinny was sold to her previous owner as a generic bantam, and am trying to figure out what this strange little poofy bird is. Tinny is a year old. Tinny is definitely part silkie, but...

    Guess the Mix!!

    Post pictures of your mixed breed dogs and I (and/or others) can try to guess them. :D I’m pretty good with dog breeds so I think I’m usually pretty good at these things and I like guessing haha If you have a tricky purebred I could try to guess too.

    Cochin and Wyandote Cross

    Hi, I have this 11 weeks rooster. I'm thinking it's a silver laced / white columbian mix between a Cochin and a Wyandotte. I have other various mixes between different colors of cochins and that's why I suspect it's partially a cochin. Or maybe Brahma and Wyandotte. I'm not sure what kind of...

    Black leg and combed birds

    Hi everyone! I went to my local sale barn and ended up buying some chickens to start a flock again. Two of the ones I got are Easter Eggers, but the other two are a mystery. They've got dark black faces, combs and legs. They're gold and black, but don't have the face tufts of an EE or the...
