This chick was solid black, and sold to me as a Black Australorp, along with two others who are also turning red in front. I named this girl Robin, for obvious reasons.
This chick was sold as a Buff Orpington. She blended right in, with the exception of a slightly rosier color, hence the...
I came home with 14 chickens. It was originally three breeds, but I can tell it's a mixed flock, which is great!
Four of the chicks are supposed to be Silver Laced Wyandottes. I was observing the chicks today as I am trying to tell them apart for naming purposes. Two of the SLW have white...
I bought a brown egg laying variety of chicks from the local feed store.
I got a few Buff Orpingtons, some Silver Laced Wyandottes, a couple Black Australorps, and I have a few I can't identify. I posted earlier about a different UFO (unidentified feathered object) who is too dark to be a Buff...

I bought my chickies today. I got 5 Buff Orpingtons, Five Silver laced Wyandottes, a black Austrolorp (wanted more, and she is my tiniest!) and this mystery chick. the guy at the feed store had no idea, said he'd nev gotten one like it before. Any idea?

My boyfriend put many layers of newspaper down as that's what his late wife had always used, but...
I moved in with my boyfriend last fall, so I am still unfamiliar with all the buildings and such on his three acres. Today we cleaned out the chicken house.
His late wife had kept banties in it, the little chickens. There are ten nest boxes inside. I didn't know until I swept and vacuumed in...
Hi, I'm new. I posted earlier, about breeds for backyard egg layers. I was/am considering ordering 25 chicks. But I'm not doing this to make money, and it's just my boyfriend and I here, so I don't have a need for too many eggs.
There is a chicken house and run, (I have not inspected it for...
