Thank you so much, I will take a look at these. I am just sick over this and not sure what to do next. Thanks.

I have owned chickens for close to 4 years with zero problems. I've always kept a small flock, just as a fun hobby. I've had healthy girls, very few losses(only to the random predator). Well, this April, I brought in 4 chicks from a local feed store. An easter egger, Barred Rock, and 2 red sex...

Thanks all!! That is what I was afraid of.

I see red coming in on those wings. Is that a roo sign? Babies are about 10 weeks old.

Awww, thank you!!!! My husband did a great job building the coop. I was in charge of paint and decorations. I saw a sign like that online and figured I could paint one myself. :) So a few pallet boards nailed together and some paint, easy peasy!

A boy and his chicken :) He was very happy with the news, we have named her Ella

Roo or pullet? The comb/wattles aren't huge, but the comb is a bit pinker than the other chick. These aren't the greatest pictures, but this little chick is hard to get shots of!!

So pleased to hear this little one is a she! I can't wait to see her adult color. :) All I know is that she is so very gentle and my 7 year old son adores her.

Thank you for the warm welcome! And I am so happy to hear she looks like a pullet!

Really hoping this is looking like a pullet, one of our favorites. Mother is a BLRW.
