    5 weeks old, what do you think?

    I know 2 of the three lavenders in the first pic have to be boys but what about the one circled? Any chance it’s a girl? Also please tell me there’s a chance the blue one in the solo pic could be a girl? They all hatched on Easter. I think that’s 5 weeks today.

    Question regarding vegetables and chickens

    I have a pretty specific question. I was thinking today that it would be nice if I planted some climbing vegetables outside the chicken run on the west side that could climb up the fence of the run and provide shade but that would also drop fruit for the chickens. But I don’t know which...

    Developing My Own Breed Of Large Gamefowl For Free Range Survival (Junglefowl x Liege)

    I haven’t thought about that stuff in a long while. I grew up in South Mississippi and it was all over the place. But I never see it where I live now even though it’s only 175 miles north of where I grew up.

    Easter Egger pullet or cockerel?

    I think it’s a pullet. Usually 6-8 weeks is safer to make guesses about gender.

    Making Lemonade [Selective Culling Project - very long term]

    Hatched this little guy(?) out at Easter and thought thought of you, @U_Stormcrow. Seems like it would fit with your project. Also the biggest and friendliest of its hatch mates.

    Bare spots on one of my chicks

    If that is a black star it’s a boy. Black sex link boys are barred whereas girls are black with varying degrees of red leakage. Regarding the bald spots I think they are fine. I’ve had chicks that look like that and they were just slow to feather in. It’s possibly that another chick might be...

    What will this chick look like when it grows us?

    I think understand how the BBS gene works when bred to another BBS chicken but how did the blue from the dad become black when mixed with buff? If it’s too complicated don’t worry about explaining. It’s not a huge ddeal. Just seems to be an interesting pattern and color that I wasn’t expecting

    What will this chick look like when it grows us?

    This chicks mom is a buff Orpington and its dad is half BLRW and half lavender Orpington. He is blue laced with a little red leakage in his wings. I assumed this cross would give me a buff chick with a little blue leakage but there seems to be more than leakage going on. Any idea what it will...

    Hen or Roo Blue laced red Wyandotte and Splash Wyandotte

    A better picture including wattles would help but if they are 6 weeks, they look like girls so far.
