are approx. 9 weeks old. We have 6 total. This is our first time with ducks. I know I need to be patient to see what we have....but I am afraid I am seeing too many possible male traits emerging. Could you look at these pics and tell me you gender thoughts? Thanks!

My 12 barred rocks have been laying since August. We had 4 nesting boxes for them. Now, a few of my younger mixed flock, are looking like they are ready to lay and showing interest in the boxes. We added 2 more boxes for now. (so total of 6 ) My concern is that any time that the younger flock...

The Chickens just wouldn't leave us alone when we tried to do our Math games outside on this beautiful fallish afternoon! I hope we still have all the dice! hehe

The more research that I do, the more confused that I have gotten! Is the front chicken a RIR or NH? (the two behind are partridge rocks). Thanks!

Sorry for the bad picture quality, but I was so nervous when I saw him on the fence right next to our coop that I was shaking. We have not had Hawk issues before (have been free ranging since spring) but since this picture, all of a sudden, have noticed more hovering/ circling above...and a few...

Wondering if anyone knows what breed this chick is? She is supposed to be a brown egg layer. Her legs are green. She is 3 weeks old. (sorry about the messy brooder, this is pre-cleaning). Thanks!

Could anyone tell me if this chick is a Buff Orpington, Buff Rock or other? (3 weeks old in photo). Thanks!

Hi. So, out of 10 Barred Rock Roosters and 1 Polish Rooster...one of them started crowing (approx at 9 weeks). It is the Polish! It sounds like an elephant dying,but I kind of like it. Anyway....my question is, is this normal for the underdog, singleton of the group to be the one who takes...

We received 5 of these type of chicks in our McMurrary Assorted brown egg layers batch so I would really like to figure out what breed it is??? Would appreciate your thoughts and experience. The pictured chick is about a week old. Thank you!

Hi! So excited to have just received our assortment of new chicks. I have some ideas, but am feeling quite confused about the breeds that we received. Would appreciate some opinions on what our new chicks are! I have posted 8 different chicks here. Thank you!

So, we have a current flock of 22 barred rocks and 1 polish. We just placed an order for 25 brown egg layers assortment...and I am a little nervous...but oh super excited! ((addiction)).

Just curious what you do? I have tried to build ladders out of tree limbs/stick and twine for my flock, but I am failing at greatness for the most part, so just wondering....do you build your air perch structures or buy them from somewhere? My husband has built a long nice perch for them...

Greetings! Our polish is approx 7 weeks old in this pic and we have no clue if it is a hen or roo? Any thoughts? thanks!

I just wanted to share this painting that I made of our black crested polish chick. My 6 year old son named him : Bon jour! (because when you see him , it's like hello!). I can't wait to do more paintings of the chickens, they are such a fun inspiration!

We had our first predator losses yesterday...I know that it is part of the territory, I tried to prepare myself, but I am so sickened and sad. How do you ever get used to this? What keeps you going on raising chickens anyway?

Hello! I am a first time chicken owner. To start our flock, my husband and I ordered 25 barred rocks (and also got 1 mystery chick which is a white crested black polish). They are a little over 5 weeks old now and all seem to be thriving...except one, that my daughter has named Minnie. She...
