Thank you goldie is definitely one of the favourites in our flock, she’s learned the stairs to the back deck and absolutely loves humans which is awesome. All three hens are caramel queens from true North hatchery. I think the little one is just feathering at a different rate.

hi just thought I would throw an update on this feed. I went out and bought some electrolytes yesterday and forced her to drink some but I am so glad to report she is finally drinking and eating along with her fellow chicks at some point yesterday after cleaning her up from pasty but again she...

Hi all, Just got two new baby chicks to add to our flock they are in the brooder and only four days old. One is thriving but I am becoming concerned for the other she is constantly sleeping and today has started showing minimal to no interest in food. I have given her some electrolytes in hopes...

From what I can tell on the hatcheries website I’m pretty sure the females are also barred like a barred rock hen and the males have two barring genes here are some photos of hens from the website
