I am slowly learning how to tell the differences of the breeds...now that they are pushing 3 weeks it is easier.... I have like 6 barred rocks, a few black australorps and I have one chick..that looks like it "may" be an australorp but it never had the same yellow speckled face, nor any spots on...

Sunny seems to have a bum leg...she loves being with the big girls but doesn't get enough rest. Is this too much spoiling? Edited to add..I talk about her injury next page over..new pics of her doing well are on page 4.

This should be a Welsummer or possibly a Brown Leghorn..we have 5 chicks left that all look exactly alike..except for this very pronounced head gear.... He stands taller, he acts differently..he is leaner and just "different"...thoughts?

I got this in a lot of stuff at a estate sale..it was brand new in the box but the gasket is old and dry..is there anyplace that may sell these tips? Or what can I do to it to use it? It also has the metal hanger with it. It is basically an old glass milk jug shape. The company is called...

I ordered a Meyer Pullet Rainbow Pack and overall I am happy with it. I knew that if there were too many of a certain kind I would sell them off and get down to 10-15. It seems I have 4 brown leghorns....or welsummers???..and to be honest..they are VERY flighty. They start all kinds of panic...

Brown Leghorns, Welsummers, Speckled Sussex, and what else ...all look like brown chipmunks. How do you tell them a part?? Please tell me what to look for, leg colors, feather patterns, etc...show me pics of tiny chipmunks and what they turn into I have 4 chicks that look this way and I need...

I cannot believe how much they have grown in one week...this lil EE checked both ways before crossing the lines to get to my son...he loves this lil chick!

Of course, as others have mentioned..it's the favorite.. 1) What type of bird , age and weight. = Unknown breed, about 5 days old 2) What is the behavior, exactly. All of a sudden I noticed she was not walking right..didn't want to stand up. Kind of skimpering along on her belly. She was...

So last week I visited some websites and put in for a "free" sample..my son said there was a box on the porch..they sent me like 7lb of soy free feed. Here is the link - look on the left and you will see where it says free sample http://www.handhsoyfreechickenfeed.com/Contact-Us.html

So I have pretty happy with my Meyer Pullet Pack..it is composed of heavy egg layers, all colored eggs, including rare breeds. I have gotten some help on the black ones..still not sure if the chipmunks are brown leghorns or something else..but what could this adorable lil thing be? She tends to...

I saw someone mention that they put one of those disposable aluminum type bread pans in the brooder for the chicks..so I saw a pack at a garage sale today and brought them home..sure enough..all I hear is peck, peck peck...they climb all over it, walk around it and peck the heck out of...

I had posted this in the picture section, not realizing it should have been here..instead of redoing it all I thought people could just check out the pictures on the original thread..thank you! https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=498222&p=1

I ordered a Meyer Rainbow Pullet Pack & they came in a day early, this morning! Everyone is very lively..acting like chickens..but I though I would get some help in trying to identify. Meyer says they ship at least 5 different breeds of their most asked for good to heavy layers...white &...

So I went to check my email thinking maybe they sent a notice..which they don't..so I logged into my account to find out they shipped them Yesterday! They must have had a better hatch rate than they thought..OMG>>>BOIL WATER...WHERE ARE THE BOTTLES....the BLANKIES??? THE BEER TO CALM MY NERVES...

Better half got a large stock tank for free..it will work for the first couple of weeks..what do I need to do to this thing to get it prepared?

I am sure this has been put up but I have been reading for days and only found one small statement about this. If I didn't know what to search for, I would have never found it. I have been looking for something like this for a long time. The place is called Azure Standard They are an organic...

We have an acre in Tucson..I want to do meat birds..the men in the family are the squeamish ones but my BIL did say he was game & would help do the processing. Sell it to me please. Tell me how great it is..or what I REALLY need to know. If I was going to do 25 birds at a time..and I pay $18...

I have ran into a few people now, one who raises show chickens & runs a feed store, that all he feeds his chicks and chickens is a 30% gamebird feed...thoughts?

I have read a lot about fav brands but most of the favs aren't available. here. I am certainly not paying more for the shipping than the product. I prefer no soy, but the only one I can find here is made by Modesto and costs almost $40 a bag. I have also been told by a few people now..they use...
