    Can you help with breed and gender?

    Thank you! We probably have room for a couple more hens, but I don't know if I'm ready to start introducing new birds to this flock yet. I'm still learning, and not sure how to do that with confidence yet.

    hi! My name’s Jackie, this is my first post. I’m in WA, and we just got our first chicks this year. I bought 2 olive eggers and 2 black copper marans from a local farm (plus 2 ameraucanas from our farm store). The farmer put 4 black, nearly identical chicks in the box and I don’t know which is...
