Can they get gape worm this young??

I think we are actually starting on week 3... but you cannot tell by their growth. They are not growing very well at all despite constant feed

About 2 weeks ago I had 78 chirping chicks arrive from Townline hatchery. This is my 3rd batch of chicks from them this year and I only lost 2 chicks in my first two batches. I realize we are running a little later in the year and thus colder but I was optimistic I would do fine. Oh how I have...

Yes, the roos get the reddish color whereas the pullets/hens stay the brown

Anna should be given a boy name

I had one like him once but i dont remember for sure. Have you looked up Welsummer roosters?

I have black sex links but none of them have dark legs, i dont think, *runs out to look at legs* Oh yes, they do haev dark legs LOL! and your bird could easily pass as a black sex link. Yours has a slightly bigger comb than mine though but same markings (my BSL have markings all over the place...

If i am remmebering correctly- marans have white legs whereas barred tend to have yellow legs. (my barred pullets are yellow legged) i am not sure if its white with some darkness in front- someone else will have to chime in

my silkies from Ideal are 2 weeks old right now. you can see some of their pictures under my thread under the forum where people ask about Gender/Breed. They are alright so far but I didn't get the colors I wanted (wanted blue, gray, red and buff... i MIGHT have buff but i got a bunch of...

I am looking for red, blues and gray silkies of good+ quality somewhere in the Muskegon, Mason or Oceana Counties- hatching eggs, started or adults

I have ordered from them a few times. They are my favorite large hatchery. (i like townlinehatchery.com the best but they are limited in kinds)

i vote for both being cockerals (assuming the top picture is the chick that wont show its face in the other two pics)

Quote: even if mine ended up the same color as your "reds" i would be happy. I just don't want partridge. now your partridge looks more like what i would expect a gray silkie (hatchery quality) to look like. I actually like it.

well i almost was going to try and sell them off but i guess i am going to hold onto them just a tad big longer and see what they turn into

Quote: Oh I could kiss you! *just kidding* If you could show me any pics of yours (even now grown up) I'd love it!
