    Small eggs?

    I am having the same problem this year. Did you get your chicks from Cackle?

    Red Sex-link, Golden Sex-link, Golden Comet, Red Star...same breed?

    T That is a good point. I remember Golden Comet being referred to as Hubbard's Golden Comet, obviously proprietary like the ISA Brown. It's all in the genetics, thus the variation in egg production, temperament, etc. One of my most evil chicks was a "production" white leghorn from McMurray...

    Red Sex-link, Golden Sex-link, Golden Comet, Red Star...same breed?

    Cackle Hatchery sells Rhode Island White chicks. On their breed descriptions they mention what cross their sex link chicken are comprised of. That hatchery crosses Production Red and RIW for Cinnamon Queen and RIR and RIW for Golden Comets. Red Sex Links are different still. Moderator Fred...

    Comment by 'Chicken Paradise' in item 'Golden Sex Link'

    I have 12 Golden Comets in my mixed flock of 39, plus one duck. 4 are almost 2 years old, the other 8 are last year's chicks. About a month or so ago several of the last years (I band them to tell them apart) started attacking the duck in groups, also other chickens. When at the feed store I was...

    Introducing chicks to broody hen

    I was wondering if anyone tried to put chicks 4-5 days old under broody hen other than day'olds? Have a broody and haven't made it to the feed store, they are 4 days old today...the next shipment comes in next week, not sure if she'll still be broody then, she's been sitting about 2 weeks already.

    Costumes for ducks!

    I saw this photo and wonder if anyone knows where to get a costume like this for the duck.

    calling any one from missouri

    Yes, this crazy weather has gotten the girls a bit upset but they are troopers and are laying at least 2 dozen per day out of the 43 of them. It didn't help that the breaker flipped on the GFI outlet unnoticed for a few days and they had no light come on from 4-7am as is usual. Fighting the urge...

    Help identify a mystery chick

    It looks exactly like my presumed "free exotic" from mcmurray! I say presumed because it doesn't look like anything I ordered. Mine has green legs, but no muff, so is not an ee.

    Aggressive 6 week olds

    I wonder if these aggressive chicks are from the same hatchery...the same strain?

    Pecking at each other?!

    Good tip on the Vicks, I will try that if any pecking restarts. The leghorn that got put down, it pecked at wings, beaks, eyes, everything. Mean little bugger. It was the commercial strain pearl white from McMurray. The other one I got from them is behaving itself after a beak trim.

    Brand new chick family...can you tell us what breeds we have?

    Cuckoo marans have white shanks, barred rocks are yellow. The black on the shanks disappears on both breeds are they get older, but you can see the white or yellow underneath the black. Hard to tell in the photo which this one has.

    cockerel or pullet?? Pic

    Either way, you'll get eggs or fried chicken dinner, as the rocks are super yummy!

    My rescue chick from TSC *Pics Added!*

    I picked up 4 replacement cornish x from TSC. The sign said minimum 6 but nobody said anything, and that was that!

    wing feathering

    Look at the tail feathers. Pulletts grow wing and tail feathers out much faster than cockerels. Especially if you are looking at chicks of the same age and breed, you should be able to spot the boys from the girls, as the girls will have tails sticking up and their wing feathers will start to...
