These are just over 9 weeks old. One is supposed to be a Cuckoo Maran and the other a barred rock... I can’t tell them apart now. . Help. They are from a hatchery. Can you tell them apart? They are both barred... on seems to be darker... they have similar feet.

Hello. Well, my daughter wanted white eggs since we have all the other colors and not white l. So we picked up two “pullet leghorns” and one seems to have an excessively large comb was three weeks old. I’ve read that this breed does have a large comb but should be be this large this soon? Pullet...

So I posted pictures 2 weeks ago asking about breed and several people commented it was a roo. Now two weeks later the chick is now 6 weeks old. Any guess on breed or gender? First picture is at 4 weeks the next are from 6 weeks old.

This chick is 4 weeks old... she was all yellow and now has lightened up and has grey or black feathers highlights. Any guess on what she is? She’s also a lil bossy and jumps on the other chicks and almost walks over them to get to where she’s going. Not that helps with breed.

this chick came from big r. She is 3 weeks old and has feathered feet. I thought her coloring was like an Easter egger when her was brand new now her patterns has changed and the feathers are coming in.

So this Feb will be a year into chicken keeping. Today I found an egg in the run with blood on it. My old girls always lay in the boxes. We added new girls in Aug and they still don’t consistently lay in the boxes or get pushed out. I’m thinking about adding a box in the run to see if an extra...

This was supposed to be a pullet. Hatched 8/21/18. Supposed to be an Easter egger. it was crowing this morning. It has to be a rooster, right?

I have a 9 month old Barred Rock that started limping yesterday afternoon. When I saw her in the morning she was fine after lunch she was not. I check on the bird at least three times a day, I’m new to this and I’m sure provide unneeded additional attention. So seems to stand with one leg up...

I have 2 pullets that started laying on Monday. But there was no new eggs today or yesterday. My other chickens consistently lay once they started either everyday or every other. They are maybe production reds. I can wait... I would just hate if there is something to do and I’m not. I’m still...

Okay... I’m still new to chickens. We started with 5 in Feb and they started to lay in July. In May we added 3 more and two days ago there were two baby eggs. I’m sure because of the size and shells. No new baby eggs today or yesterday. Are they okay? They were supposed to be RIR but everybody...

So this morning I saw a hawk perched on the top of the chicken coop. It was about half the size of my 8 month old chickens and I thought it was fine. I yelled for my husband to look. He yelled get that hawk away from the birds from up stairs. So I opened the door and it flew away. We put the...

my husband brought home a new chick. I wonder what she is.

I was at TSC and after getting home when I search for an Americana is doesn’t seem to exist. ( The sign on the right in the pic) Is it a spelling issue? Anybody ever own one? Are the eggs really light blue?

This is a now 13 week old supposed to be RIR pullet. I posted pictures before but I still think it’s male. Am I wrong? The tail feathers are rounded but the wing feathers are pointy.

I’ve heard production red... NH red... and RIR... the lil ones are about 12 weeks old. What breed do you think? The hen is 21 weeks old and also what breed do you think? She was purchased as a RIR.

So I tried sprouting several weeks ago and was successful the first time but then the next couple times I noticed mold. What was I doing wrong? I’ve seen some suggest using a small amount of bleach when you soak the first night. Is that safe for the chickens to consume? I was rinsing every 6-8...

We added 3 RIR about 9 weeks ago and they are supposed to be pullets but one seems to be a roo. Can you tell? Sorry the pictures aren’t so great. They are supposed to be all hatched at the same time and 9 weeks old. One pic is when they were only a few weeks old. One looked very different from...

Does it hurt a 9 week old pullets (i think he’s a roo) to get wet? It just started raining and I can’t catch him. I’m sure you will all say use a stick or something to help guide him but after 20 minutes and I’m extremely wet I stopped and figure it’ll be dark soon and I’ll grab him when he’s...

Well I thought the flock was getting along. I was wrong. I have 5 20 week old pullets (3 barred rock, 1 RIR, and 1 orpington) and 3 9 week old pullets (all RIR). They have been able to see and hear each other for the last 3 weeks through runs sides by side. The last two weeks we would allow...

I never thought about taking them to be checked but just for peace of mind I’d like somebody with experience to look at my 5 15 week old pullets and 3 3 week old pullets. When I search online in my area regular vets come up none that specialize in poultry. Any advice?
