Need help identifying breed and sex of my chicks. Got them at a feed store and don't think they are what I was told. The first one I was told is a bb red but the chick is so fluffy like a silkie. I think it is a rooster but not sure. The second one was told is a bb red and I think that one is a...

Thank you both! Im separating them and will do what you all suggested. Thanks again :)

I have read several posts of this subject but they all seem to talk about adult chickens with babies. I have 2 chicks that are about a month old and we just bought 2 chicks that are only 2 days old. We put them all together and they were getting along perfectly. Merlin (we think he is a...

Update: Sadly our little baby Arthur passed away. He just never grew so we are thinking that he must have not fully developed in the egg. It was so heart breaking cause we loved him so much. He died in my wife's hand. He will be very missed. Thank you to everyone's help! The other 2 are doing...

I saw that there are chickens called BB Reds. I got them at the feed store and I'm thinking I could have misheard him and thought he said 'baby' instead of 'BB'.

Thank you so much everyone for the info! I did get the chicks from a feed store. Right now I have them in a plastic bin (one of those storeage bins). They are either moving around or under the heat lamp. I'd hate it if Arthur (the small chick) is in pain. I love him so much already and loves to...

Hey everyone. I am new at raising chickens and right now I have my first 3 chicks. I was told that they are baby reds, which I'm guessing means Rhode island reds (Unsure) & are around 3 weeks old. 2 of the chicks are completely fine and have grown a lot recently and are getting their feathers...

Thank you! :)

Here is another picture: Also does anyone know how to upload a video? I have a video showing what the chick does which I'm sure would help a lot to see.

Hello. I'm a newbie to raising chickens. I have 3 baby reds right now that are about 3 weeks old. The smallest one (I think it is the runt) acts very odd. I don't know if he is sick or has mites?? He breathes heavy and twitches his head lots. He eats, drinks and loves to get rubs! I'm attaching...
