I hatched these three chicks about four weeks ago. They're a backyard mix from a friend (she had two roosters: a tolbunt polish and a blrw) and I know it's a bit earlier but I'm trying to decide which ones to keep and I already have one cockerel so I'm not really looking to keep another. There's...
Ive got a black silkie, salmon faverolle, buff and lavender orpingtons, a sapphire gem and sapphire egger, a gold laced wyandotte, silver laced polish, a cinnamon queen, and an americauna.
Hi, four maybe five months ago I bought these two chicks at a local feed store. They were sold as Polish. The brown one, Zoolou Warrior,, has its top knot trimmed to improve vision but I have not trimmed the white and black one, Speckles. I have no doubt that the brown on is indeed a Polish...
I need help asap. They randomly started pecking my boy at 3.5 months old. I put blue ointment on his head. Now all 3 of my girls are pecking eachothers head and ripping crest out. I don't want them to kill eachother. I don't know what to do. I love my babies. My silkie girls are completely fine...
I’m not sure on age but I believe they are around 7 weeks old. Hoping for guesses on if these 4 are pullets or cockerels. Also the one that is sort of golden laced has a lopsided crest and it is starting to hold its head crooked. Does anyone have experience with this problem?
Thanks
Well, as DobieLover predicted on my introduction post thread, my little flock of mixed breed chicks just turned 3 weeks old, and now they’re pecking at Chickabiddy’s head (my white crested black Polish girl who is so sweet and likes to perch on my arm to be petted). 😥
I am brand new to chickens...
These babies hatched about 36 or so hours ago. I'm pretty certain they're polish chicks (they were from a local BYM with a polish rooster & blrw rooster over a tolbunt and splash polish) but my kids and I are trying to guess color. Oldest thinks they're grey and I'm leaning towards a buff maybe?
I have 4 chickens roughly 14-16 weeks old. Two Polish and two silkies. I think the white silkie and the black polish are pullets, and think the white Polish and black silkie are cockerels. (No one is crowing yet)
This is my first time owning chickens so am new to the whole sexing part. Please...
Took a little field trip with the kiddo to Meyer yesterday and she picked out (and promptly gave random names) to these guys from the grab bin. Aside from the two Polish, any guesses on breeds?
Anyone have any idea what gender this baby is? About 10 week old crested polish top hat. I love him/her and I need it to be a pullet or I will be distraught 😅
I have a Polish pullet and I adore her but it never was a breed that I was super interested in. She gets along great with the others, doesn't get picked on, and overall seems very healthy as in she's eating and has normal poops, her eyes are very bright and clear, etc. But some of her behavior...
In my most recent incubation, only 2 eggs ended up developing. I was really hoping hatch would go smoothly and I wouldn't end up with a lone chick, or no chicks. Thankfully, both had a fast and smooth hatch!
Of my six silkie eggs, only one developed. These eggs were older so I was a little...
I got a mixed flock of chicks born March 29 so currently between 5-6 weeks.
My polish chick tried to escape yesterday. I had a dog crate divider over their coop to try to avoid them flying out. Learned my lesson because poor penguin beat up their head feathers trying to get out. Since then the...
Hi I have an 11 wk silver laced polish that I am confused about. Her brother started crowing a couple weeks ago and got a bunch of red bits around his face. This morning when all of my roosters were going off, the bird in question made one weird yell. I have a couple hens who scream with my...
8 week old Polish Tolbunt! What would you say the gender is?!?!?¿¿
The other chicks I have started pecking at its head so the middle is growing back. If it looks funny, that's why. (:
I began the transition from inside brooder to outside coop this week. I just couldn't stand them in the house anymore and they looked so sad and bored.
So Friday afternoon, I put them in the outside pen as usual and let them wander around until dusk. The door between the coop and run has been...
Im looking to buy some hatching eggs. I dont wanna buy alot or even a dozen. Im looking to add a few polish, cochin, and frizzles into my fancy flock (color doesn't matter to me all that much since they'd basically be pets). Im located in woodsfield ohio 43793. So the closer to me the better...
Hi, I need help sexing these Appenzeller Spitzhauben, Barnevelder and white crested Polish chicks!
I bought one of each of these and a white bearded silkie that the seller guaranteed is a girl or I can bring it back for a laying female or 2x money back.
They are all 6-7 weeks old
I have a...
