That's what mine look like.

I just bought 3 of the tetratint. TSC got them from Mt. Healthy in Ohio. It's a new hybrid bird. They have 4 different colors in them and lay large brown eggs

Yes. The other chicks I got that are the same age started right around 4 months. But she does lay beautiful big eggs and some double yolked.

Well of course after I made this post she started laying about a week later. Almost 8 months till her first egg.

I will be attending just to watch & learn. I know nothing about showing a bird Maybe next year. Good Luck everyone.

Thanks for all the replies She isn't hiding them cause we do make sure we look for them underneath the straw everyday in the coop. I'm sure she's just a "late bloomer". I'm just happy to know that Black Sex Links do lay eggs, I thought maybe she never would. Thank ya'll.

Thank you for the warm welcomes

My chicks started doing that about 2 weeks ago and last week I started giving them Duramycin for about a week and has worked perfect.

I'm worried that the chickens might be sick. I have 2 month old chicks (black & amber sex link, golden comets) from TSC. I called a hatchery and was told to start them back up again on duramycin along with feeding them oatmeal and grapes. I haven't had any luck. I'm hoping this poop is just...

I've had my chicks for 2 months now and about 2 weeks ago they started the same thing & having really bad diarrhea, so I start them back up on the duramycin and I haven't heard them sneeze one bit since but hasn't helped with the diarrhea. Hope that helps

Hi! I put 1/4 tsp to 1 gallon of water. Hope that helps

Hi ya'll! I've been on this website numerous times and love it. Decided I should probably introduce myself I've always wanted chickens and decided to break down and by some from a swappers day meet about 2 years ago. I bought 6 chicks. Unfortunately 1 died, 2 got ate by something I took the...
