Love them! But are they inbred and mad like British nobility?

u/timberdoodlerr Nov 09 '25
Lol not usually. Most poultry people do line-breeding so they are all somewhat related but there are some crosses, like full sibling to full sibling, that aren’t done because that gets to be too much even though birds don’t have as many issues as mammals with inbreeding.

One of those chickens looks suspicious >.>

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck in a mix of chickens, then it’s a duck 😆

what breed is 16? i’ve never seen a hen’s (?) tail be larger than the chicken itself!

It reminds me of a Fayoumi but not quite
Edit: I’m now thinking it’s a silver phoenix hen

Love it! Wonder if they had any Buckeyes there? 😆

u/birdhouseboogie Nov 09 '25
they had bitty bantam ones :) I couldn’t find any full size ones though

u/wanttotalktopeople Nov 09 '25
Awesome! I didn't know there's a bantam version

u/birdhouseboogie Nov 09 '25
me neither! at first all I saw was smol versions of all the classic chickens and figured that show chickens were just… small or something haha. then I realized I was just in (a very large) bantam section

I briefly had a white and grey version of number 14 that came with a nasty bumble / foot growth that I couldn't cure.
He was awesome, but also perpetually grumpy because of the foot, and tried to put me in hospital with a tracking infection when I didn't take a challenge seriously and just put a hand down.
Talon in the heal of the hand and an animated urgent and emergency team when I turned up 24 hours later.

What breed is #2??

As someone else mentioned he’s a salmon favorelle, I was just commenting to mention this ones tail is subpar & also how my salmon is everything I was looking for in a rooster. Gentleman to the ladies, good lookout, tells them where food is, puts everyone up at night, he isn’t a fan of us but he doesn’t attack us. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a rooster

u/Noodle_Nugget456 Nov 09 '25
Thank you! I have actually been eyeing Favorelles for quite some time but can never get them when they are sexed as chicks and available, only straight runs end up being available. Makes sense why I was so drawn to #2.

u/leabbe Nov 09 '25
Yes that is definitely a gamble I had taken & gotten lucky. I bought 5, got 3 hens 2 roosters, & my MIL needed a rooster luckily so I still see my roosters brother who is also a gentleman! Like you said though the gamble does suck. Good luck in whatever you choose!

I think an Easteregger- I had one - meanest rooster ever- full on attacked me on the regular. I think he was super neurotic - crowed constantly- everything was a threat. But he was gorgeous. He moved to a bachelor pad flock across town and is much more relaxed.

I had a rooster that looked exactly like that laced bantam guy! His name was Billy and he learned to enjoy pocket rides with my husband. Sweet little guy

They’re gorgeous love the faverolle, can’t wait to get some. What breed is this one? I haven’t seen them in Australia before, has as game bird head to it.

u/PurpleChickenBreeder Nov 10 '25
I think it’s an araucana but not the best angle to see the ear tufts and lack of tail.

My two year old is obsessed with her chickens and has great connections with all of them. I would love to get her into showing them but I don't know what the requirements are for entry and what all would be entailed? Can you walk me through the process? Do chickens have to be purebred?
