I bought a Blue Laced Wyandotte About a year ago, and she’s laying gray, to dark green-gray eggs. She’s beautiful, sweet, and lays close to daily. I’m still not sure that she’s a Wyandotte….
Her (Violet) egg is at the top left, and it’s an unusual color of gray. She’s a lovely hen, so I’m fine...
This little guy came from Murray McMurray, and was supposed to be a little hen. He’s absolutely gorgeous sweet as can be. We already have two roosters, and can’t have another. he needs a good home, protected, and not to be eaten at any point. I love my little chickens, and want to find a...
I went to feed my favorite little chicken today, I love them all but my little black Orpington is my favorite…
she was completely fine yesterday, talking and snuggling. I did notice that she had what looked like a cataract in one eye. She developed it a couple of wks ago, but I read that it’s...
I ordered 3, 4-6 week-old chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery. One is a whiting true blue, one is a whiting true green, and another is an Americana. I’ll post pictures of the two that made it. One died. She was a solid light cream to white colored chick.
I'm not sure if I have two whitings, or...
Hello!
I’m just getting around to introducing myself! I’m so elated that I found my tribe!

I am in the...
I bought 4 “female” day-old buff Orpington chicks from a well-known hatchery. I know even vent-sexing isn’t always correct, but I’m hoping that my 5 3/4 wk-old little girl isn’t a boy. I’m hearing that buff Orpington aren’t always easy to sex, so I’m just asking for your best guess! Thank you!
This is not my chick, but they’ve asked me if I knew what this growth might be and how to treat it...I’m at a loss and was wondering if any of my chicken friends know.
thank you, my chicken friends, ahead of time!❤
my dear chicken buddies, I’m trying to confirm/determine the sex of my 4, 9-10 wk old chicks. The first one is, Sami. She/he is on the small size and hangs out with the other chick that I highly suspect is a little hen.
Sami is in the first 3 photos...
in photo 4-6, is Rusti. I think she’s a...
I have 4 chicks and one sweet hen, who went broody and was awarded several eggs...random breeds....4 hatched and are a little over 6 wks now. I know I have at least one roo, but still wondering about the rest. I’m pretty certain two, at least, are female. In the photos I have one reddish/black...
Hello! I’m new to this, so I’m not sure about the gender and breed of my 3.5 wk old chicks that my broody hen hatched. I ordered the eggs online. Thank you so very much!! Aly
