    Currently I'm using my broody hens. I came to this thread to decide which way I would go with the incubator. I never thought of myself as having a steep learning curve, but trying to start from the beginning was definitely a losing battle. Can someone give me the highlights? You sir are...

    6 w/o behavior question.

    Ugh, indeed! Very frustrating at times. Their first few nights in their new coop the refused to roost and slept on the wet sand in a pile. I even put a heat lamp on half the roost even though they didn't need it anymore. I have a thermostat in the coop so I could make sure it wasn't too warm...

    6 w/o behavior question.

    I have fifteen 6 week old chicks and last week I moved them to their big girl coop. I locked them in the new coop/run for a week (per advise from BYC-ers) when they started going into the new coop from their run by themselves at night I decided they could explore outside their coop. It's been so...

    Is this an EE roo?

    Thank you. Fingers crossed Little Yellow is a pullet. They are three weeks old now and LY looks almost a week older just because of the size difference. Except for feathering, in that regard "she" is the only one with down still on the top of both wings. Everyone else has "big girl feathers."...

    Is this an EE roo?

    Thank you all. Little yellow is the only EE in the picture. I couldn't get the other EE's to stop chasing June bugs long enough to sit for a picture. They all came from MyPetChicken but it was a "grab bag" of brown egg layers and of course the EEs. I certainly had the size backwards then. Thank...

    Is this an EE roo?

    My chick-a-dees are 2 weeks old and "little yellow" is almost twice as big as the other girls.

    What kind of chicks might these be?

    Whoops! Somehow I managed to post the same picture twice.

    What kind of chicks might these be?

    These little angels came from MyPetChicken. They are a brown egg layer assortment. There were 16 originally but we lost one this morning in a freak accident. I think I have narrowed down what the darker ones are. My guesses are 4 Australorp (now 3), 3 Golden laced Wyandotte, 3 EEs (possibly...

    New to BYC.

    I just realized I was still posting in the same thread. As far as the hatchery they came from My Pet Chicken. They're a brown egg layer assortment.

    Thank you. I was pretty devastated this morning. Luckily my little boy was still sleeping and didn't see anything.

    Ok, these are the ones I'm most unsure about. Could the blonde one looking directly into the camera be an EE? She has the fluffiest face out of the two blondie I have. Also I'm not sure what the red chipmunk one is either.
