Four weeks ago I posted pics of my 6, then 2-week old SF chicks. They were purchased as straight run from Estes Hatchery. At that time, we thought there were 3 pullets & 3 cockerels. Fast forward 4 weeks and I have FOUR pullets for sure . They all have cream colored breasts and the salmon...

Anyone care to take a guess on this one? S/he is solid white except for a blue head, blue tail and a couple dark blue feathers here and there. I bought Blue as a straight run EE. I haven't seen any other EE this color for comparison. Thoughts? His/her comb isn't as big and red as my...

Okay folks. I'm pretty sure of the genders on these guys, but would really like your feedback before I accidentally rehome all of my pullets instead of the cockerels. So, ALL feedback & opinions are welcome!! First up is Julius -- Black Bantam Cochin. Really have no doubt in my mind that...

I haven't had any chickens for about 15 years, so I could really use some advice. I currently have 7 chicks (6 weeks old) who have been residing happily in the outdoor coop for the last two weeks. Of the 7, it looks like I'm only keeping 3 (1 EE, 1 BR, 1 bantam cochin). The other 4 (2 EE, 2...

My daughter's kindergarten class hatched out some baby chicks. They were only supposed to be hatching some Jersey Giant/Wyandotte crosses from the teacher's brother. But... a neighbor of one of the teachers left a carton of eggs (for her to eat) on the wrong teacher's car. So, the "eating...

Okay, apparently I am just dense. I can NOT for the life of me figure out how to make a signature for my posts. I've searched the old threads and the instructions there (go to profile, click on personality) aren't working. I've gotten into my profile, but cannot find anything that says...

I know it's still a bit early, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any opinions regarding roo vs. pullet on these chicks. I'm almost POSITIVE that this little guy is a roo. In fact, we've stopped calling him Julie and started calling him Julius, lol. His comb started to pink at 2 weeks...

We're just starting out on our backyard chicken adventure. Right now our flock consists of 7 chicks (all named by my 5 year old daughter). First is Rainbow. She is an Easter egger pullet. Very sweet and calm. Pictured at 12 days old. Next is Tinkerbell, a Barred Plymouth Rock pullet...
