    Still can’t figure out what these birds are!!

    Hello! I’ve posted several times over the past 4-5 months about these two buff mysteries and I still can’t decide what they are…breed OR gender 🤦‍♀️ They were purchased from rural king as “English orpingtons” 🙄 they are definitely not orpingtons. They’re absolutely gorgeous birds I just wish I...

    Orpington mix w rose comb?

    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...

    Lavender Wyandotte Comb?

    I have a 12 week old Lavender Wyandotte -or is she an Orpington? (The feed store sign was inconclusive 😁) Emmilou has the weirdest comb and curly feathers. It could be a rose comb - which all my other Wyandottes seemed to have but it has this wee little nub and is otherwise flat? Is this a...

    Nankin Bantam Pairs - Young!

    I have three pairs of Nankin Bantams up for discussion. Two pairs single comb, 1 pair RC cockerel with SC pullet all hatched mid-June 2022. Nankins are a true bantam, with no large-fowl counterpart. As such, they were widely used to create most of today's bantam chicken breeds. In the breeding...

    Rose combs?

    How big do rose combs get? These girls are 16 weeks old and one has a huge comb and wattles compared to the other one. Hers are also much brighter red. I don’t see much on this site about rose combs, so I’m wondering how large they actually get? I know typically 6 months is point of laying...

    Help me with my SL Wyandottes + Weekly Development

    Hello! I’ve been fixated on whether or not my pair of SLWs are roosters since the beginning. To that end, I have weekly photos (missing weeks 3&4), which might be interesting/helpful, even if you can’t help me with sexing my birds. Note: They do have enormous red combs & wattles. I grant...

    3 wk old Lavender Wyandotte male or female?

    Hi All! So a few weeks ago we bought two straight run lavender wyandottes from TSC. Sadly the other chick died a few days ago (possible cocci so we’re treating all the chicks with corid)😭. I was hoping that one of the two we got were female. So just for fun what are your thoughts on this little...

    My Nankin Bantam chicks

    Here some pics of them I took today.... I only have 4 left of my ones from @simonerol, but I don't even know if they're mine (ones I hatched from my two) or if they are from her, because I didn't band them or anything (dumb move on my part :(). A few died, a few disappeared, but I was able to...

    What type of bantam is this ?

    I bought two mixed bantam chicks in may and Rosie, the little yellow one just started to lay, I have no idea what she is ! She has blue legs with some feathers there. She also has a rose comb and a more ‘square ‘ or boxy head. I think my other one is some kind of light Sussex cross but I’m not...

    Watermaal comb genetics?

    Hello! I've found myself in possession of a trio of quail watermaal as the founders of my first breeding project. I have a hen with great coloring, but 5 spikes on her comb as well as it being a bit large and a rooster with mediocre coloring but he's got a nice rose comb with 3 spikes. The...

    Is there something wrong with my hen?

    I have a small mixed flock of five hens. Two of which are wyandottes. One is golden laced and the other is silver laced. Both birds seem to be healthy, but our silver laced has a weird, kinda stumpy comb. She doesn't get bullied for it, (as we also have a dark cornish, which has no comb) but I'm...

    What is the longest that your pullet has taken to develop a comb?

    I have 6 pullets that are 17 & 18 weeks old. All are nice size girls. Two (1 & 2 pictured) have small but noticeable combs, one (#3) has a pea comb but it is so dark that it is barely noticable. Three have flat rose combs (I think) but not much redness to the combs, although their wattles...
