I've got one, she's 14 weeks and from what I've learned, they tend to grow faster than other breeds. Does that mean I can expect her to start laying sooner than later?

Hi! I've got a 14 week old Midnight Majesty Marans and was hoping to hear from others when yours started laying and what the eggs look like?

This is “Splash”. I’m thinking and hoping it’s a pullet but I think she is so pretty! 9 weeks old.

Thought this one was a pullet, but now I see some curved tail feathers. But maybe this is just it’s awkward teen stage. Thoughts? Cockerel or pullet?

Any hope for this one being a hen? Supposed to be sex-linked but this one sure has a red comb and waddles. The other calico princess pictured on the left of photos is 11 weeks old.

I ordered one sapphire gem (along with a prairie bluebell Egger and some others) and got two gray birds that looked similar at hatch but now look quite different. I’m thinking the one with the copper colored chest could be my sapphire gem and maybe the bearded one is the prairie bluebell Egger...

8 weeks old

i placed a 2nd chick order because my first order was missing the brown leghorn. It’s looking like my second batch is missing it too. I’ll post pictures of 5 weeks old and day old, but what is it? Came from Hoover’s Hatchery

So I have five chicks that are 3 1/2 weeks old. I have three chicks that are about four days old. I need some advice on how to put them together. I did OK at first, but then I noticed the little ones all huddled into a corner all the big ones had free reign of whatever they wanted. I have two...

I have 3-day old and 3-week old chicks. When can I introduce them to each other?

I ordered 5 chicks this spring, they are about 2 weeks old now. Brown Leghorn (didn’t get it) Calico Princess (I know that one) Prairie bluebell Egger (I assume that’s the brown bearded one) Sapphire Gem Midnight Majesty Marans So in lieu of the brown leghorn, I THOUGHT I had a second sapphire...

We had a brown leghorn that we got by accident, but ended up really liking her eggs. So when she died, we wanted to replace her. What are some differences in behavior traits or anything else I should know about a brown leghorn versus the white leghorn? Thinking about going white leghorn this time.

Needing to add more as I have at least 1 rooster. If I add 2 new day old chicks to my flock of five 4 week olds, will they kill them?

This “guy” is two weeks. I suspect it’s a boy because he is bigger and has more distinctive barring than the other one I have. And a larger comb. Can anyone confirm? Leg and beak color are dark so I’m just not sure. Or could it be a different breed altogether. I wasn’t expecting two in my...

I think I have two females, but it does seem like there is subtle barring, black and dark gray. Does that count as barring? I’m not 100% convinced that they are both sapphire gems. I only ordered one and they other chick was supposed to be a brown leghorn. Clearly it’s not that but my...

Calico princess? They are supposed to be orange and white, but this one is looking more like orange/buff and black. 1 week old

Got this set up and then wondered about ventilation...

My chicks don’t like to go under it. Maybe it’s too hot? Are they fine just hanging out on top? Sorry about all the poop. I cleaned it less than 24 hours ago and will again tonight. J

I ordered 5 chicks from the farm store, they came from Hoover's Hatchery. These are the breeds/hybrids I ordered: -Brown Leghorn -Midnight Majesty Marans -Sapphire Gem -Prairie Bluebell Egger -Calico Princess The calico princess is easy, but the rest all look pretty similar. And none look...
