There are hundreds of chicken breeds: heritage breeds, local and indigenous breeds, breeds created by institutions, commercial breeds, synthetic breeds, rare breeds, backyard mixes, and others. And that’s just breeds, most of these breeds come in several colors and various feather patterns!
If you want to sift through all the chicken breeds yourself, here are some great places to start:
To get the best results, use a clear, high-quality photo with good lighting. Make sure the chicken is positioned sideways to the camera and fills the frame. Also, ensure there are no other birds or animals in the background.
Our chicken breed analysis uses advanced image recognition AI technology to examine your chicken photo. It looks at features like feather pattern, body shape, comb type, wattle size, earlobe color, leg color, stance and body structure. These characteristics are then compared against a vast database of known chicken breeds to determine the closest match.
There are many reasons why the tool might not be able to identify the correct breed of your chicken. First, make sure you have a high-quality picture where the chicken is clearly visible, cropped, sharp, and taken from the side.
Second, although the tool recognizes many chicken breeds, there are countless hatchery mixes and color variations. If the tool hasn’t seen photos of a chicken that looks similar to yours or shares the same features, it won’t be able to determine the breed.
Third, it could simply be a breed that the AI tool doesn’t recognize, as there are over 500 chicken breeds worldwide.
And lastly, your chicken might have a rare color pattern for its breed. For example, a backyard Speckled Wyandotte can look very similar to a Speckled Sussex.
No, uploaded photos are used solely for the analysis and are not used anywhere else on the website. Your images are handled securely and not shared in any way, unless you use the share report link in the results.
Yes! Our chicken breed identifier tool is completely free. We provide this tool for any enthusiasts at no cost, supported by minimal advertising to keep the servers running.
The tool works best with single-chicken photos. If multiple chickens are present, the AI may struggle to accurately identify individual birds, which affects the results. This is especially true if there are multiple breeds in the same picture, even if the birds are in the background.
