    3 week old Sapphire gem

    Yeah, hopefully she gets more tail feathers in the next week and that comb doesn’t get pinker.

    3 week old Sapphire gem

    I hadn’t thought about the fact that some of the chicks might be mislabeled. That makes sense. I’ve just had a cockerel in my sexed pullets group before and I have 9, so statistically it’s likely one is and I want to know who! 😆 no tail feathers by 3 weeks was the biggest clue last time, so I’m...

    3 week old Sapphire gem

    I know these are supposed to be sex linked, but I got her from TSC and some people are saying theirs aren’t following typical patterns. She is the biggest and bossiest and is also being slow to feather, which worries me a bit. She also has more comb growth than the others, but they’re all...

    Slow feathering sapphire gem pullet

    I think that used to be true, but I’ve seen some unbarred ones? I really don’t know though.

    Help me Chill Out about my new chicks.

    I’m always like that the first week. And it’s not a bad thing. I’ve found things early that would have been a problem. I didn’t lose a chick in my first 2 batches, but I did everything the same and lost 2/9 on my last batch. Tried everything to save those two that just got weak and died. 2...

    Slow feathering sapphire gem pullet

    I got this sapphire gem from TSC. She was dark gray with no head spot. She has super thick legs and is feathering in incredibly slowly compared to the other sexed pullets I bought. She’s almost 3 weeks old and still no tail feathers. I thought this was a sex link breed, but other sources...

    The noir Marans are sex-linked hybrids. So my guess is whatever they mixed the BCM with gave one speckles!

    Keep having chick health problems

    That’s the one I bought. I didn’t check that, maybe that’s what happened? Their stools are normal, now. Everyone is healthy. I need to upgrade them to another brooder. They have grown so much in the last 2 days, it’s kind of crazy.
