Thanks. Will keep my fingers crossed and keep waiting.

Last post got cut off some how- Was saying that they noted the comb coming in pink as well.

Yeah, folks on the Dominique thread were leaning heavily towards pullet based on her coloring, but noted

any thoughts on my 4 week old Wyandotte? Her comb is a little pink, but from what I've read these guys so.etudes mature a little early?

All 4 weeks old. A Wyandotte, EE, Welsummer, and Dominique . Thanks!

Thanks!

Hello, My chicks are currently four weeks old. They're on a starter/grower formula and get occassional treats. So far they tried meal worms (love) strawberries (love) arugula (favorite) and some other kitchen scraps in small amounts. They have a dish of chick grit in with them. I was wondering...

The shelving is built into the structure, but if I wanted to be doubly sure, it sounds like I could seal it off with paint or sealant.

Thank you. It looks like properly dried cedar planking usually isn't usually a problem.

So, I know you're not supossed to use cedar shavings for bedding in a chicken coop. I've been converting an old (10 years+) workshop into my coop. My boyfriend just mentioned today that he thinks part of the shelving in the new coop may be cedar, based on smell. Will this still be a problem...

Here she is.

Thanks for the responses. Really hope she's a pullet. Faraday40, where at the Jersey shore do you have family? That's where I grew up.

Here are some photos. She is by far my most cuddly bird and my best flyer.

Hi, I was wondering how old my wellie needs to be before I can confirm sex based on her feathering. She's three and half weeks now, and her chest appears to be coming in salmon not black, but I wasn't sure if it could still turn at this point? :confused:This is my first batch of chicks. :D
