I have 2 Easter Eggers I would like opinions on please; They are both 8 weeks in these Pics First is Pepper, Im pretty sure is a boy :( The 2 pics below are Sparky, the comb is alot smaller than Pepper's and only slightly pink. (Please say girl)

We got some chicks a while ago. They were 2 & 4 weeks when we got them. We had them in a brooder in my husbands shop for 4 weeks. Then we moved the brooder, which is half chicken wire, to inside the run of our established flock. That way they could see the big girls, and the big girls could see...

I got 3 Ameraucanas a couple weeks ago, although I am thinking they are not true ameraucanas, but Easter Eggers, since while we were there to get them, she showed us her set-up, and all of the Ameraucanas were in the same run, she did not have them separated by breed colors. So wouldnt that mean...

Thanks, looks like I should hold off this spring on getting more

I have 9 - 5 month old girls right now. But we are looking to get a few more in the Spring. (Chicken math, initially wanted 6, got 12 instead, 1 died, 2 roosters were re-homed, and now want a couple more breeds) Our set-up includes a 5x6 coop with 2 - 6ft roosting bars. We have an automatic door...

Finally got our First egg yesterday! I was so excited, of course my husband found it after I was already at work, but sent me the pics We used plastic easter eggs in the boxes. The white one is a store bought egg, just to compare size Not positive, but pretty sure it was this Black Sex-Link...

Ok I am going to try again Here they are at 8 weeks. The first is Biggy, who we are pretty sure is a Roo, the second pic is both of them, but Blanche decided to turn away when she saw the camera, her comb is not as big, and her wattles are just starting to show, whereas Biggy's are quite large...

All of ours are about 6 1/2 weeks old, and when we went to pick them up when they were 2 days old, we were set on getting 6..... We have: 4 BSL 3 Buckeye 2 RIR 2 (told they were Buff Orpingtons, and believed this since they were solid yellow chicks, but now they have some black tail feathers...

They are actually in a run we attached to the coop during the day right now. But when we go out there they do look like they are bedded down usually in the corner of the run closest to the coop door. Maybe because they were in there for so long they are now just being stubborn

We are having a similar problem. Our girls are almost 7 weeks old, and this week we started letting them in the run during the day. We have an automatic coop door that opens at dawn and closes at dusk, so far all week we have been having to go out there after the door closes and chase down all...

So last week I posted some pics of some of my chicks asking for guesses on gender, only to be informed the 2 I was told were Buff Orpington's could not be. So after that upsetting news (that was the breed I told my husband I absolutely had to have) I have been trying to figure out what they...

I have heard/read this alot from people with Buff's, thats the main reason I really wanted at least a couple of them. I guess when we figure out how many roosters we have, since we will have to get rid of them as we cant have them in our city, I will know how much room I have to try and get...

Yeah I dont mind the size of the BO, but when we first decided to get chickens I read about alot of different breeds and decided I wanted at least a couple of them. I went and googled pictures of BO chicks and you are right, they should not have the coloring their wings I have 2 RIR and 3...

Oh no, they are the first breed I decided I wanted, I hope the small hatchery I got them from didnt mess up :(

Good Morning all! I am very new at this, but I see people post on here all the time asking for help guessing what their chicks are, so I figured I would ask too, cause even after reading all those threads I still dont see what it is that makes some people so sure! I have 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3...

What did you end up using instead?
