    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    https://imgur.com/a/AkutJEaster egger chick. Labeled pullet but I'm questioning if it's a rooster. It doesn't have that rooster attitude, but it did take a week longer to get tail feathers. About 5 weeks old.

    Hello from Black Hawk, South Dakota

    Oh my! I live in HideAway Hills too! On Daisy Dr. I was so worried about them that I brought them back inside yesterday morning. They are back in the brooder in the office.

    Mystery duck from Tractor Supply.

    Hello everyone. I'm new to being a duck caretaker. I bought chicks (for the first time) a couple of weeks ago and while I was picking up some feed noticed the regaining ducklings were 75% off. So $1.20 per bird. They were so cute I thought, "why not". I bought one White Pekin and one mystery...

    That is what I am thinking too. Guess I'll wait to know for sure before we rehome them.

    Cockerels or Hens

    These chicks are 3 weeks old. I'm pretty sure the first one is a cockerel Mottled Java. The chick is pretty dominant and acts different than the others. The second one is a Black Langshan and acts like the others but is slower to feather out. Thank you for the help. I will post followe up...

    New to BackYard Chickens

    Thank you for all the warm wishes. I will keep the dogs and chickens far apart. I definitely do not trust them. I am in the process of fencing off a section of the yard just for the chickens. They are growing so fast. I can't wait to put them in the coop.

    Fighting babies

    I am brand new to chickens! I bought 6 various breeds last weekend. After watching them all week, I believe that 2 might be roosters due to slow feathering, no tail feathers yet, and attitude. My little Production Red died, from failure to thrive. Today I went and picked up 3 Ameraucanas & a new...
