Both of these chicks are 10 weeks old as of April 15, 2023. I have my suspicions of roo for both.

I recently adopted a small female potbelly and she is pregnant by a Juliana. Well she had the babies the other night so as of this post they are two days old. There were 6. Four individuals that are black with various range of socks. There were two that were spotted but they were not fully...

These are four different individuals. I am not sure what kind of bantams they are nor what gender. I think the two middle ones are male. I have six but two that aren't pictured look a lot like the first and the last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was watching my chickens after feeding them and I noticed that a few of them are growing rooster tail feathers but a couple are not nor do they have very bright comb or waddles. I bought a fry pan special from Meyer. Is it possible that they might have sent me a pullet or two? They are black...

I have a large shed that my family has used as a chicken house for years. I had to replace the floor and decided to revamp the coop since we had to gut the building to get to the floor. I want to add a brooder to the coop so that all birds can see each other and hopefully help with introductions...

Went to Tractor Supply to my pick up some chicks to replace the ones I lost in the last two months and all they had left were 10 assorted bantams. They had a 6 chick minimum so I just went with all of them. Anyway they all look about the same so I assume they are the same breed. Would anyone be...

I have seen people saying they are developing new colors in a certain breed on chicken and I was wondering exactly how they do that. It would be super cool to have more colored lacing on Wyandottes. I seen a chocolate laced Orpington I think it was. But the lacing looked just like a Wyandotte.

I have read a few articles about gold laced Roos pass colors when bred to silver laced hens. Then I just seen someone asking about their sex-linked chickens and that got me thinking, a dangerous past time I know. I was wondering if a variety of Wyandottes could be bred to be sex linked? I am not...

So I got an order of frypan chickens chicks and I am curious on what the hatchery may have went me. Most of them are black with very pale yellow markings. Three of them are just plain yellow and two are like a reddish tan on top with fair dark lines on the backs and yellow undersides. I don't...

Yep, totally using a 50 gallon fish tank for my brooder. Had a cold snap and lost nearly half my chicks. Brought them into my pet room so I can observe them better. The tank is sitting on my desk so they can see me too. I used the top to an old bird cage to hold up two heat lamps. The top fits...

I have a large yard between two houses on my property that I can't do much with because it is a septic tank drainage field so my parents have always told me. It's mostly fenced in but my dog is an escape artists and can't be kept there. There is an apple tree and a weeping willow. Some other...

Slaughtered my first chicken and then my second. Never done that before. I have seen some body do it and I watched a bunch of YouTube videos. It was very messy and I think I made a few mistakes. I tried to dry pluck which I now see was not a good idea. But they still cooked up fine.

I ordered 27 chicks and was only able to get to the post office this morning do to car trouble. So they had to sit there all day and all night. I got them under some heat before I went to work. There was one who passed away in the box. Then I came home to find I had lost two more. I just wish I...

I live on a 34 acre property that used to be a farm where the former owner raised dairy cattle. All the buildings are still intact if not needing a little( a lot) of TLC. My family has had this property for 11 years now and have gone through a few chickens and ducks. The only other livestock we...

I currently have two Cornish Rocks but once they are gone what would be the best way to obtain more? Should I just buy a bunch of chicks every year or would it be better to go with a breed that can multiply over time?

I live on a large acreage of land with about an acre pond(its kind of low right now with lack of rain). I have 3 horses and one dog. There are tons of wild birds going here and there but it still could use more life. If anyone needs to rehome any birds let me know. P.S. The neighbors look as...

So I think I am addicted to Wyandottes and mine are just now 8 weeks old. I have seen so many cool colors. I would love to have some of every variety. I have seen some other varieties as hatching eggs online where as the hatcheries are out. My question is are hatching eggs ordered online even...

I have seen a few swing sets repurposed as coops for a small number birds. I have also seen a few trampoline coops. I currently have both of these and I was thinking about using both of these to make a coop and run. I have a building that has been used for chickens in the past but it needs a lot...

So I got 8 silver laced wyandottes, 2 are supposed to be cockerels and the rest pullets. My only problem is I don't know which is which. To me they all look the same. I can pick a few individuals out but not enough to tell what gender. They are about 7weeks old now. Do I just need to wait a...

Hi, call me Minty. I live in good ole TN about 45 min outside of Knoxville in cow country. In the past month I have watched my little brood from Murray McMurray double in size and start getting adult feathers. I have mostly silver laced wyandotte.Can't wait to get some brown eggs.
