    3-day old chicks. Can you tell what sex they might be?

    I thought I'd ask because I thought easter eggers are ones that you are supposed to be able to tell. I figured the yellow one might not be but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks.

    3-day old chicks. Can you tell what sex they might be?

    I hatched my first chicks Friday night/Saturday morning. I know 2 are easter egger mixes. The yellowish one is either GLW or Buff Orpington mix (I think the egg came from my one of my wyandottes because of it was bigger than what I typically get from my buffs). As far as I know, Daddy is one of...

    Illinois Free Rehomings

    I have 2/3 handsome boys looking for a flock to call their own. They are approximately 4 months old. They are good with the ladies and even good with my 2 bantam roos. (The bantams chase them) They are not aggressive. I don't know how they would be around children. I just have too many roosters...

    2 Rhode Island Red roosters in central Illinois

    I have 2/3 handsome boys looking for a flock to call their own. They are approximately 4 months old. They are good with the ladies and even good with my 2 bantam roos. They are not aggressive. I don't know how they would be around children. I just have too many roosters for my small flock.

    Why is my almost 8 year old hen still trying to lay eggs?

    I know this post is a few months old but I'm having a similar confusion. I have a 9 year old Black Australorp that has restarted laying eggs after not getting any from her for several years. I thought she was done. The eggs are about a third the size as they were in her prime. She quit laying...

    4 week old bantam ID help

    Updated photos of the Red Pyle OEGBs. Both are the same age (approx. 8 weeks old). The "pullet" now has a bigger comb and wattles and is trying to crow. I've had a hen that crowed in the past but she was a lot older when she started. The first 2 pictures are the cockerel. The other 2 are the...

    4 week old bantam ID help

    First time bantam mom. Need help figuring out what kind these are. All 3 are clean-legged. I know the dark one is a roo, just don't know what kind. They came from TSC if that helps. Thanks in advance for the help. Chick #1 (roo) Chick #2 (pullet?) Chick #3 (pullet?)

    Egg questions

    Luckily I'm not keeping chickens just for the eggs. But I've got 6 older girls giving me eggs too. Miss Ruby just hit 18 weeks and was the first one of the younger girls to start laying. My 16 week old White Leghorn just started yesterday. Still waiting on the Wyandottes and Easter Eggers. What...

    Egg questions

    I didn't plan to. Any soft shell eggs I get I scramble and feed the girls.

    Egg questions

    Another new egg anomaly that I haven't seen or heard of happening. 2 soft shell eggs that are attached. See pic. Found this in the run this evening. I know it's from the same girl, Miss Ruby the FR. She's always the last one to the roost.

    Egg questions

    The soft shell eggs were from one chicken. Just started on layer feed as they are just now 17 weeks old. Oyster shell available at all times. They get free range time everyday.
