She hasnt laid in months. No new chickens since last October when we added 4 chicks. I had her in the house the 1st month, now Thelma Lou is in a large dog cage with Stella in the shed. I carry her out every day to a fenced area in the chicken run & put her back in, in the evening. Today she did...

They grow fast and are so cute at that age! I'll keep my fingers crossed 4 you too. :fl

Welcome to BYC:wee Im sure you'll do fine, they are hardier than one thinks and so worth it. I got my first 18 chicks last year and my hubby just surprised me with 4 new silkies chicks (a breed I didnt have yet). There's lots of info on here about raising chicks. I knew nothing when I got mine...

2 weeks is way too early. Just enjoy them, I had 4 of that breed and posted pics on here at 8 weeks, some on here thought 1 was a boy, she wasnt. They are great egg layers and friendly girls. They all mature and feather out differently, I know how hard waiting is but really only time tells. :jumpy

Thank you I'm just giddy these are my first chickens ever.

So little, green, and perfect found it in the run a few minutes ago. Yay!!! I cant wait for the rest to start too. :celebrate:celebrate:celebrate

Congrats :wee

Omg so adorable those 2! Cute pics too :love

:wee That is so precious! Congrats!!!

It doesnt scream boy to me but, I have no experience with that breed. Looks like it's close to laying...

Welcome to the flock :jumpy congrats on your farm. Sounds like a fun adventure for all of you. :wee

Welcome to the flock :jumpy There's lots of helpful info and peeps on here. Happy you could join us all. Enjoy! :wee

I'd guess mostly pullets, bottom pic iffy but at roughly 15-16 weeks might be close to lay time

Woohoo hoooo how eggciting :clap:clap:clap:wee
