I have a black australorp in my 5 hen flock that started laying and then stopped. She’s just over 5 months old and is with 4 Americaunas who are 6 months old. The other girls started laying all blue eggs so I knew any brown egg would be the australorp. So I was happy to see the little brown egg...
Look at her! I love how the black chickens get that green shine. My black one (Betty) is the loner not EE, she’s a black australorp so she’s probably gonna end up the biggest girl and actually have a waddle. But right now she’s pretending she’s an EE with her sisters till she start to get her...
Yay! And thank you! I was pleasantly surprised with what I got when I picked out four “yellow” chicks. Now I’m just waiting to see how the not quite splash white one settles into her adult colors lol.
Okay. So all my “girls” are 12 weeks old now and I think we don’t have a roo. The biggest girl who’s definitely top of the order has been my main concern but at this point, her comb isn’t redder than any of the other ones and they all seem to be rocking similar feather patters. I don’t have...
So cute! Hopefully Ashley gets a little more splashy like Zoe as she gets older. She’s definitely had more dark spots come up in the last week or so. Her and Mary Kate used to be very hard to tell apart but they just keep changing now lol.
I’m new to chickens and I feel like I picked the hardest breed to sex 😅🤦🏻♀️
The 2 I have the most concern about are a white/splash so the coloring hasn’t been telling me a lot. They’re all 6 weeks old as of yesterday and sold as Ameraucanas.
Here is chick #1 (Ashley) who I think is the most...
I’ve seen a few posts of people saying their roo is pretty chill and then I’ve seen others say their rooster literally crows all day lol. So I guess I’m just hoping that if I do have a rooster, it would lean towards the chiller side and I might be able to get away with him.
Also, I guess there’s...
I’m just lucky they’re in a small room right now, so the dust clean up once they’re outside will be contained. Definitely going to look into outdoor brooding if I end up getting more chicks down the line cause the dust is ridiculous 😂
And they loved their field trip. I let them roam a couple...
Hello!
I’m a noob to raising chickens but I’ve always wanted to have my own little flock for eggs.
I currently have 4 1 month old Ameraucanas (3 white splash and 1 wheaten) and 1 3 week old black australorp. They’re still inside but I’m hoping to transition them to their outside coop next...
