    What kind of chick is this- age?

    I do have a Turken hen and she does fine. I just wonder how this chick would do- if it is indeed a roo and decides to be a well behaved and quiet roo, I could possibly keep it. I was just wondering how it would do long term.

    What kind of chick is this- age?

    As for what might go with it? Well, when it gets a little bigger, mashed potatoes and gravy. Ha ha- we are vegetarians Has anyone successfully kept a chicken like this- we are in the Midwest with very high and very low temps- I do heat the coop in the winter. I don't want the poor creature to...

    What kind of chick is this- age?

    Thanks for the replies- I was hoping it was going to be a hen and we could keep it Any other gender guesses would be appreciated. Does the fact that it will have brittle feathers create a problem?

    What kind of chick is this- age?

    I picked up this chick yesterday- It was given to someone as a "prank" birthday gift and they had no idea what to do with it. I am guessing it is some kind of frizzle- its feathers are wild. Its body is still basically naked- just has the wild feathers on its wings. Any guess as to age would...

    White Silkie Pair IL/IA Free to good home

    I need to find a home for a pair or Silkies. I ordered them as pullets from My Pet Chicken, one obviously turned out to be a cockeral. He has started crowing and I have close neighbors, so he needs to go. The hen has not started laying yet but should be close. The male does have curled toes on...

    Chickens segregating themselves

    I have 9 chickens total, 8 pullets and and for sure one cockerel( I am beginning to wonder if my NN is boy too or just a dominant pullet) anyway, when I first got them I had them all in one brooder. As they got bigger I had to separate them in to two brooders. Now they are in their coop and they...

    Thank you all so much for your kind words. We are keeping the chickens, I think they will be a very important part of Kevin's memorial garden.

    We lost our little boy

    This past Friday we lost our 2yr old son. He was born with several heart defects, but had done amazingly well and his loss is a shock. At first I was going to re home our 11 week old chickens. I was worried that I did not have it in me to care for them. As all our friends and family came to our...
