I bought them from a local lady. Not sure if they are pure bred or not. I'm just hoping for Olive eggs. Most of mine are barred. In fact, all my Roos are definitely barred but they aren't pictures. The bottom chick has me concerned that she is just a BCM or a F2 Olive Egger. Hoping for an F2 but...

Here they are at 5 weeks : ) I know I have 3 Roos and I think 2 girls but I have 2 mystery chicks. Can anyone take a guess at their sex? Thanks! :jumpy

Great! Thanks guys! This is actually good news because I have three with white dots (out of 7) and I am hoping they aren't all males. Thanks for explaining! They are only 3 weeks so I still have a while to go, but I can't wait for eggs

Hey! I am wondering if anyone has mixed a Black Copper Maran Hen with a Cream Leg Bar Rooster to get Olive Eggers? I have read where many have put a BCM rooster over a CLB Hen and they were still able to autosex the chicks. Does this work if with the BCM Hen and CLB Roos? I have a few 3 week old...

I have BCMs and they looked just like that as chicks. I also have a Buff Maran which lays beautiful dark speckled eggs. In my experience, the pullets developed tails and feathers faster than the roos. Karan's grow very quickly but are my favorite breed! I have kept BCMs, Blue Copper Marans, and...

So I have 3 8-week chicks that are sick, one is on the verge of dying I think. Olive, my olive Egger is standing in a corner all fluffed up. She is eating and drinking just a little. No energy. She has watery poop and sometimes looks like it is in small pellets. No blood though. Also her front...

Thanks! Just curious, why would you give the chicks corridor first? Thanks!

But can I use it on chicks? I feel like it would kill them?

Help! I just found out my chickens are infested with roundworms (I've seen the worms) and my 4 week chicks have been outside during the day since it is 85 degrees here. They have recently started having bad diarrhea and I believe they may have worms too. What can I do?? Help please! They are...

Yes they are full blooded, came from a breeder and I know the parents of the chicks. They are from a BCM mom and CLB roo so these don't have spots but I have seen some the other way around that have spots. I'll post egg pics when the girl starts laying : )

They are 3 1/2 weeks old and I still think we have 3 boys and one girl! Their combs and wattles are already turning red and they are very feisty. I don't have any updates individual pics because they are too squirmy now but here are some funny chick selfies. :D BTW the chicks are still inside...

Yep! Same order! And we think the same thing :hit I'm already noticing a waddle on one of them. I was hoping for two pullets since I'm splitting them with someone. Thanks for replying! : )

Here she is at 7 weeks- she is such a sweetie! I'm guessing she is a BO mix since she looks like a BO but with spots across her neck and foot coloring is off.

Updated chick pics at 2 weeks. The chickadees are 1/2 cream Legbar and 1/2 FBCM. They are so cute but are much more skittish than my previous chicks, hoping they will calm down the more I handle them. Any sex guesses are welcome! :lol: Chick 1: Patchy: small, rounded average comb, not fast...
