    Pullet or cockerel?

    Time for an update. #1, 4, 13, 16 were culled so they won't appear here. #6, 15, 19: I can't tell them apart so the numbering takes it into consideration. I included here 5 new pictures (A-E) of chicks that hatched on Oct 24. Again, if you can help me identify cockerel or pullet...

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Thank you for your replies. I will do another photo shoot in a couple of week to get you updated. I also have 5 more chicks that are only 1 week old. I will do the same in a month.

    Pullet or cockerel?

    Hi, Here are 21 chicks that I incubated and hatched on Sept 28-29. Parents are a mystery, I bought the eggs from Kijiji. Any help identifying pullet or cockerel is welcome. My guess is #1, #4 and #16 are cockerels. The others, I don't know.

    Very early chick

    Thanks for all your replies. It is now almost day 22, in a few hours. Seeing no pip on the remaining eggs, I took the chicks out, 21 total. I will keep the incubator on until tomorrow morning. Thanks again.

    Very early chick

    Currently incubating eggs. At day 20 +2h, one chick hatched. As I am writing this, it is day 21 +1h. 7 more hatched recently and more are on their way. That very early chick is now 24h out of the egg. I still need to wait a good 16h+ for all the other eggs to hatch. How long can that early chick...

    Lots of Raccoon’s

    Put carabiner clips on your latches, I never had a raccoon been able to open them in 15y having my coop.

    Lots of Raccoon’s

    They will find their way back, this is not far enough. And when they will come back, they will be live trap aware, much smarter. Hold on tight, be prepared...

    Rooster not hens reject new hens

    I have an existing flock of 11 hens and 1 rooster. I tried introduce 3 new hens to the flock using a separate coop/run adjacent to the main coop/run. Well, it is the rooster that rejects the newcomers, not the existing hens. As a temporary solution, I sent the rooster in timeout in a separate...

    Just hatched

    I know it is probably too early to tell the gender but here are new chicks just out of the incubator. Yellow is from my Olive Egger. The 2 chipmunks are probably from my Light Sussex. Blacks are unknown, 1 was out of a brown egg, probably Plymouth Barred mom, the others were from blue eggs. I...
