Chicken identification please?
Our take
Hey there, feathered friend! It sounds like your cousin's chick crew is quite the eclectic bunch. Identifying chickens can be a delightful puzzle, especially when you’re knee-deep in fluff and cuteness. From your description, those grey darlings might just be Lavender Orpingtons, known for their stunning plumage and sweet demeanor. As for the black beauties, Black Laced Wyandottes are a likely contender, sporting that fabulous lace pattern that makes them truly eye-catching. With seven hens and one rooster laying about 30 eggs a week, you’re certainly in for an egg-citing time! Let’s get to the bottom of this feathered mystery together. Any photos would help, too—because who can resist a good chick pic? 🐔✨
| | Hi! My cousin got 8 chicks from tractor supply last season and can't remember what they are... I'm thinking the grey ones are lavender orpingtons and the others are black laced wyandottes? We have 7 hens and 1 rooster and are getting about 30 eggs a week 😆 any id help is appreciated [link] [comments] |

- Mystery Chick IDThis chick came out of a Tractor Supply bin labeled Barred Rock Pullet, very obviously not, but any guesses what it could be? All black feathers and feathered slate colored legs has me thinking some type mix of Marans. At 8 weeks is bigger than the Silver Laced Wyandottes I purchased at the same time. The comb seems odd to me, doesn’t look like any other chicken I have. Is also very aggressive with one of my 10 week old Easter eggers but mostly ignores all the other chicks in the run. submitted by /u/biskets4all [link] [comments]
- Breed help? (Update at 11.5 weeks) Hi friends! Me again, so some suspicions have been put to rest, but curious to hear some opinions! Ordered these "girls" from valley hatchery late February, and fairly certain we have all pullets (yay!) The gold laced wyandotte is suspicious to me, but curious to thoughts. Updated photos are attached, but my thoughts are barred rock, buff orpington, brown leghorn, rhode island red, gold laced wyandotte (pullet or cockeral confirm?), Welsummer????, and 3 easter egger/olive egger types. We ordered 6 "rainbow egg layer special" chicks from Valley hatchery and honestly had a really great experience in spite of getting three bonus chicks and having to completely upgrade our homestead set-up 😅 (also bought a much larger coop because chicken math taking effect before receiving our birds was the surprise)! submitted by /u/acooldogdad [link] [comments]
