    Slightly purple eggs… what do we have?!

    What do you do about vent gleet in a baby chick?

    Identifying 5 ish weekers

    I’m totally new here and totally new to the chick game! I’d really appreciate help identifying some of these gals. Or guys. I have suspicions on some genders for sure but breed would be my main question. We ordered from Hoover’s and it was a variety pack of 10 brown and white egg layers, but...
