I am hoping that someone can help us out. These chickens are 5 weeks old and are suppose to be brown leghorns but they don't look the others or my older leghorn. Any thoughts???? This is my leghorn. Sorry it's a little blurry.

Thanks to everyone for the insight. I feel like I am being impatient. I will start looking at it as a time of rest for them and feel better about it. I want the best for my girls.

I guess I am happy to hear that I am not alone in this frustration. Thanks for replying.

After reading other posts today I guess I am not alone. I have 4 hens that are nearly 3 yrs old ( Rhode Island reds, a Barred Rock and a leghorn). I also have 5 Buff Orpingtons and 4 Blk Australorps (nearly 2 yrs.). I was in a total shut down since at least early Nov.or even late Oct. I...

We are going to do a lot more looking at the other chickens. I don't want to lose any more of my girls. They are just starting to lay good again after the darker winter months. We have a rooster in with one group of hens. He was a mistake with the last purchase but we have kept him. We were...

I am hoping someone can shed some on light on this....two of my chickens died this weekend. One was 2 yrs and the other only 1 yr. they are housed in different coops and did not show any signs of being sick. No predators...no signs of injury either. I am so sad at the loss of my girls but...

Yes, we already have 6 chicks that are about a year and a half and the new 12 ( or should I say 11) chicks. That is enough for now. We have two beautiful coops and they are quite comfortable.

Oh, Thank You. Still learning as you can tell. We definitely want to keep the eggs for eating. If I had more time and space I would try having them hatch some but right now that doesn't work.

OK. Thank you! We are just not set up to have more chicks at this time. Still bumming about my chicken....

So now that we know it's a cockerel, how long do I have before I need to get him away from the girls?

That's what I was afraid of. Such a beautiful bird...I guess I will have to find him a good home. Sooo sad.....Thanks for the help......

Good morning! I have had some concerns over the sex of this beautiful bird but I think I got my answer this morning with the strange sound that was coming form it....Any thoughts??? I was hoping it was an early egg laying song.....This was taken a couple of weeks ago...it is 17 weeks old...

I'm not sure...this is our first time bringing in new chicks with older ones. They have been housed close to one another and they can hear each other. We are hoping this weekend to make and outside run for the newbies so that they can all see one another for now. I'm sure someone else can give...

It is very exciting watching them grow.... We got them at our local Farmer's Co-op...
