    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    @NatJ @renk777 So, this is a very late update now! They are 4 months and 3 months old respectively! Dot/Einstein the BR is a roo, but hasn't crowed at all and is super chill personality-wise. Luna, our super crower, and Queenie, crows off and on, sadly are roosters as well, good eye on that one...

    Ended Funny Chicken Name Contest - Win 60 lbs of Grubbly Layer Feed From GrubblyFarms

    I had a Silkie named Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Now we have Bellatrix, Queenie, Luna, Einstein, Daisy, Ruby, Blackberry, Lucy and Ethel as well as The Chicken With No Name. :lol:

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    The one we thought was a meat chick initially is actually the one that's looking more RIR, Ruby is now her name and she is super sweet. Ruby and Queenie seem to be the largest, but none are overly large compared to each other. Also, Daisy's feathers are coming in the same way, colors and all, as...

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    To be honest, I'm not suspicious of Luna being a cockerel but I'll keep an eye on her too. Their combs might be redder in the picture than they truly are because of the lighting and it was in the 90's yesterday so possible flushing? As far as the rooster suspect, his overall behavior and how he...

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    I'm a little late on the picture update so they'll be 6 weeks on Tuesday and the Polish gals, Cochin and Daisy mystery chick breed will be 4 weeks on Monday, but here are some from their time outside today. (Hubby took the pictures.) Also, someone (suspecting Bellatrix) is pecking at our Polish...

    The Cochin, Polish and Daisy are all pullets. They were all ordered as females from the Hatchery. 😁

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    Okay, it's one week later and the chicks are 4 weeks and 2 weeks respectively. @NatJ @renk777 I'm pretty amazed by some of the changes they have undergone. Also, excuse some of their positioning, I bribed them with mealworms. First up, the Barred Rock who we may have decided to name Einstein...

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    I'll update them again in a week! Thank you for your thoughts! I didn't even consider the breeds that Meyer's Hatchery marks with the leg bands because none of mine arrived with them. But the different combs are definitely a big indicator that I didn't even think about. Granted, I'm so new at...

    Almost 3 week old chicks. What are they?

    As the title says, I have chicks who will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. I initially believed the black chicks I received from Meyer Hatchery, to all be Barred Plymouth Rocks, but it's appearing that only one is a BR and I'm 99% positive he's a cockerel. Wider barring, blurred dot on the head, lighter...

    Happy Chickie Family!

    The new babies arrived this morning and our current six have welcomed them so sweetly! Still keeping a close eye on them though! We have two White Crested Black Polish pullets, that dark little pullet has feathered feet so I'm going to do some research(edit: I researched and most likely is a...

    2 Week Old Chicks - Breed Confusion!

    It's terrible that I didn't even consider that it could be one of the meat chickens. We were only going for egg layers but when you play the chicken lottery... Lol. Oh well, that will certainly be interesting to see if it is one of those Rainbows. It does have similar wing coloring. I'll be...

    2 Week Old Chicks - Breed Confusion!

    I had the Leann's Adopt Me Bargain for four of them, so I figured those were my other chicks that I've determined to be Barred Rocks since there were four of them. My for sure White Egg Layer female was a Polish who failed to thrive within the 48 hours so I've got a replacement order coming. I...

    2 Week Old Chicks - Breed Confusion!

    This chick is giving me some serious doubts on if I guessed Golden Buff chick correctly. Also, doubting that it's a pullet. Versus my 99% positive Golden Buff pullet: That being said, please, give me what you guys think they are. I'm very new to this guessing a chick's breed game so I'd...

    Happy Chickie Family!

    Thank you! The others are doing great! Starting to suspect the second Buff I assumed was a pullet might actually be a cockerel. Feathers are coming in very differently from the pullet's. And we're getting four more pullets from the same hatchery, two White Crested Black Polish and two from what...

    My Little Chickies (Photo Heavy)

    Thank you, me too! I'm pretty sure they're Barred Plymouth Rocks, but we'll see as they grow. I have my replacement plus additional chick order in for the one that died within 24 hours of arrival. Two I chose were White Crested Black Polish females and then two females from their brown egg layer...
