It's the middle of our winter but it's only getting down to about 12 degrees Celsius at night..... We've had our cold snap & now it's back to this glorious weather. Wish it was like this all year but sadly Summer will be here before we know it and then it's temps of 30+ & ridiculous humidity

Thank you.....I thought that's how it would work! It's still a little cool at night so will leave the lamp on. Cheers

So our little flock are about 7 weeks old now & I have still been putting a light on at night for a bit of warmth. The trouble is, I'm sure they don't need it anymore but if I don't turn it all they all huddle at the gate & don't go to their roost or bedding! So I go turn on the light (old...

We have Plymouth Rock Hen - Rocky & Roo - Lukie (it was Lucy ) Light sussex - nugget Silver sussex - licorice RIR x RIW - treasure RIR x leghorn - snowflake (or Mrs Snow)!

This is out silver sussex....I'm thinking hen I SO wish our light sussex was ahem but agree with roo.... If has the best personality

Here are the latest photos of 2 of my chicks.... Hen or Roo? They are approx 6 weeks old. [/IMG] #2

Approx 5 weeks

That sounds like something my Dad would say! Lol.... There is no way I could do that though. It definitely doesn't seem to be suffering - unless all the chirping is a sign of distress? Clearly it has a few things going on.... I guess time will tell! Poor lil chicky

One of our little chicks (5 weeks old) is so tiny compared to the others but we just noticed only 1 eye has opened. It eats, drinks & scratches around happily however it is super noisy & it's new feathers are falling out....any suggestions?

Here's a photo for comparison....it's very cute & chirps & cheers like mad when it's not with the light sussex

Well, it's a Silver Laced Wyandotte. Is it supposed to be the same age as the others? It might have hatched from a pullet's egg, which are smaller than an adult hen's eggs are, thus hatching out a smaller than average chick that will eventually catch up in size. Or it be something genetic and...

What about this little Sweety.... It's still SO much smaller than the others. But eats, drinks, chirps just like the others

If she doesn't keep her flock separated than anything is possible!!! Thanks for your input - much appreciated!

I guess you are right...they could have been day olds when we got them and sold under the pretence they were older! It's from a breeder - I'll have to check if she breeds Marans (I don't think she does)! We don't want them for breeding/showing, just pets so it's no big issue. We just at hope...

I agree though as I look at other photos and think that ours look no where near as feathered for a similar age
