    Will a debeaked chicken's beak grow back?

    I traded a roo for this hen and noticed that she had been debeaked. I'm not a fan of the practice and I'm hoping that her beak will grow back :( any info on this would be awesome! Thanks!

    POLISH ROO OR PULLET?

    Good plan!! I'd hate to see him go, he's so easy to handle and super friendly so fingers crossed for a miracle that he turns out to be a she or just doesn't crow much haha

    POLISH ROO OR PULLET?

    Ahh darn! I was afraid of that We can't have roosters where we live so I was trying to be hopeful. I'll have to find this guy a new home. Any guesses on age?

    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    Help! We found this stray polish and can't decide if it's a pullet or a roo. We can't keep roosters where we live so we'll need to find it a new home if it is a rooster. Thanks!

    Sexing Easter Eggers

    Any guesses for my 5 week old EE? She was sexed as a pullet but seems a lot feistier then the rest of my chicks, I'm hoping still pullet.

    Is my Easter Egger a hen or a roo?

    We purchased her as a sexed pullet but she seems to have a few rooster characteristics, she is 5 weeks now and I've noticed she runs at all the other chicks and I've seen her put her hackles up. I'm keeping my fingers crossed she's just a bossy girl, but I'd love some input! Thanks!

    When should I move my chicks outside?

    We put them outside into their coop and run and they put theirselves to sleep lastnight in the coop with the heat lamp in there. They seem much happier! Thanks everyone!

    When should I move my chicks outside?

    Hi there, It's my first time raising chicks and I'm just wondering when would be the best time to move them outside into their coop/run. They're 4 and a half weeks old now and not using the lamp inside anymore as it is usually about 72F in the house. The temperature outside is usually sitting...

    Possible failure to thrive?

    Yes she's my only Welsummer, I've been trying to research and see if they are slow growers but I can't quite find a whole lot. they're on medicated feed as well. I don't think it is coccidiosis, because the only symptom would be lethargy that she has. But it is also my first time raising chicks...

    Possible failure to thrive?

    I attached a photo of the ingredients in the cell salts. And I am using 20% starter crumble. Her poops look pretty similar to the rest of the chicks, just a little bit smaller and maybe a bit drier, but not much of a difference.

    Possible failure to thrive?

    This is my first time raising chicks. I bought 7 sexed pullets of different breeds and they're about a week and a half now. My Welsummer chick seems to be about half the size of the rest. She's pooping normally, and I've seen her eat and drink but it doesn't seem nearly as frequent as the rest...
