    Processing in GA?

    I just saw someone advertising on Craigslist for this the other day. I don't have a link, but if you search the atlanta craigslist for "chickens" it will come up.

    5 week old EE..... Lillith or Larry??? (PICS working now!)

    I just responded to your post in my thread...she doesn't look anything at all like my EE that turned out to be a roo did at that age. His comb was thicker than that and very red by 5 weeks. He also had enormous thick legs and feet.

    5 week olds....girls or boys? update!

    I'm trying to remember when I noticed pointiness....definitely not at 5 weeks, because I remember looking and deciding it wasn't worth posting a tail feather picture because there wasn't much to see. And definitely before 3 months. I have a picture of him a week before he turned 3 months and...

    5 week olds....girls or boys? update!

    Bobbie Ann was actually an Ameraucana/Easter Egger (from Ideal). As far as we can tell, Zora's a pullet...her comb did look redder than the others early on, but it's not really growing much, and she hasn't gotten the pointy tail feathers like Bobbie got. Both of yours look pretty girly to me...

    Kudzu?

    I was just reading in a book about edible wild plants that you can also make a white flour out of kudzu. so, yeah, come massive oil shortages you and your chickens will know the secret of how to ride out the famine

    5 week olds....girls or boys? update!

    Just an update for anyone playing along...Bobbie Ann is just a Bobbie First he looked like this: ...and then, a couple of days ago, he started crowing. I put an ad on craigslist and yesterday we took him over to his new home, on lots of land with a lonely hen who needed a boyfriend. All...

    Friendly chicken breeds

    Quote: Mine are still young, but my white leghorn and buff orpington are my sweetest by far. The leghorn is the first one to come up to me whenever I go into the pen, and spends all of her time trying to jump onto my shoulder.

    She is a leghorn. Thanks--that's great to hear. We all love Super around here. BTW, I don't know how much this matters, but Bobbie Ann is also HUGE. She's an Ameraucana from Ideal, and they list the adult weight for hens as only 4 1/2 pounds, but she's a tad bigger than the Buff Orpington.

    5 week olds....girls or boys? update!

    thanks! those are the two I was most suspicious of...at first I was worried about Super, because her comb is so much more prominent than any of the others, but it's still very pale (and they're all different breeds, so it's hard to compare them). We can't keep any roosters, as the neighbors...

    yeah, but I'm still hoping! My husband is a math teacher and actually sat down and figured out the probability of us getting all pullets. I can't remember what it was, but it was over 50%, so that's something at least.

    5 week olds....girls or boys? update!

    Okay, this is my first post (though I've been lurking for awhile)...so hi everyone! I've been reading this forum for an hour and getting more and more confused and paranoid. I have five 5 1/2 week old chicks...all were sexed at the hatchery and are supposed to be pullets, but there are a...
