Here's a closer picture of the back feathers if it helps. ;-)

Anyone want to take a guess at this 14 week Buff Orpington?

He hasn't crowed yet, but here he is at about 14 weeks. LOL

^^^chick in question ^^^ chicks from same group

<3 your record keeping/stories of your chickens! I could read about your chickens all day!

Here is a pic of her (bottom) with one of the other barred rocks (top) I bought the same day, for funsies. ;-) It's hard to get 2 in one pic. LOL ETA: which chick was which

This is kinda fun. ;-) I'm not really concerned, but entertained. LOL Thank you all for the replies! My whole family thinks the chickens are just great! This started as just to have eggs, but has turned into loved pets/hobby. So much fun!

Same chick 9 days later. Thoughts? I knew they got big fast but to actually see it! WOWZA!

Oooooohhhhh! Ok Thank you for helping. I'm going to use up all this Vaseline first. ;-)

How often and how long should I put Vaseline on their legs? Two have a good case of them and the others look minor. I hope this works. ;-) ETA: I already searched for a while and haven't come up with any specific answer.

Oh, I'm not planning on culling. I'll try to re-home this one (if it does turn out to be a roo) or the 1 yr old that's outside. If I can't re-home then he'll probably be stew. He has a long while till then. ;-) The babies make me so happy! So cute with all the chest bumping. LOL

My thoughts are Roo. Wider comb area, no dark spots on the legs, and lighter coloring than the other 2 Barred Rocks I purchased. ;-) I know Tractor Supply isn't always correct in their labeling and that's ok. I was just wondering for fun since the tub said pullets. LOL. ;-)

Hugs! Many many hugs and prayers! How are YOU holding up? Taking time for yourself? Finding local support of wives who have been though what you're going through? I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

They've went in the coop the past 2 nights. Weird girls wanted to try something new?

Eh, we're still alive. ;-) I figure as long as they are cooked through we're good. If it does look or smell good then ya.

I poked it with a knife over the bowl and it popped kind of like a water balloon. The yolk and whites went into the bowl and the shell (membrane?) just collapsed

I think they just want their space/fresh air, now that it isn't super cold at night. I don't think they are broody. The first one slept there last week, one evening, then didn't do it again till tonight and got her friend to keep her company. LOL They are the two lowest in pecking order. I...

About a week ago, my husband comes in the house and says there is only 5 chickens in the coop. There's supposed to be six, 1 too and 5 ladies. We found her snuggled up in the straw under the coop. (There is a 4x4x2 semi enclosed space under the coop, 2 exits) We left her there that night because...

Sunrise- take water bowl, water, and ferment out. Open the pop door and set up water and food. Check for eggs. Shovel snow 1pm- take a small bowl of ferment for lunch. Clean out the frozen poop. Check for eggs. Hang out with them for 5-10 mins. As needed- add or change bedding. Shovel snow...
