    Hoop coop

    Dish tubs, storage tubs, 5 gallon buckets, milk crates? All of these would need to be modified in some way...

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    A friend found this girl/guy on the street with no mom around in Vieques, it's a super small island off the main island of Puerto Rico. There are lots free roaming animals here- horses, dogs, cats, chickens, iguanas... Looking like a Frankenchicken theses days, fuzzy chick parts mixed with...

    My little shadow

    I was wondering how long the phase of chicks being so needy lasts. I understand it's a good survival instinct to follow Mom... But ug. My little chick has been with me for two weeks, she's three weeks old. Birdtrude is a house chicken, so is almost always with me. She will do the "panic...

    Chicken Diapers - Most adjustable diapers on the market!

    Just ordered a diaper and some inserts. I might have to wait a while for it to fit, my chick is only three weeks old now. I was taking a nap with her yesterday and she jumped up and pooped on my face, so I'm in serious need!

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    I see, thanks for the explanation. It is quite a comb coming in isn't it? Here are some pics I took today. Her/his feathers are growing like crazy, s/he was so uncomfortable all day because of it I think- faux dust bathing, preening, laying down/jumping up... I felt so bad, wishing I could do...

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    Nooooo! Can you tell me why you think that? What characteristic? I haven't a clue, so you might be right. All the stuff I was reading made it point to a girl for me- "looks like eyeliner around the eyes", "black accenting the V on the head", an upturned butt 'smile' not a 'frown'", "getting...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    Hi Lightchick! She was an orphan, a friend found her wandering the street so I'm not sure the age or breed. I think she's about three weeks old?... With the help of posters here the breed guess is Welsummer, here's the thread- https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1001909/breed-age-gender-chicken

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    These Birdtrude shots were taken two days ago. She's growing so fast I cannot believe it! Still look like a Girltrude and not a Dudetrude? Fingers crossed! And and Easter Egger or Welsumer? I've been looking at lots of pics of both and I can't figure it out. She's still being spoiled rotten...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    Thanks for the ovations for my pics Peeps! Makes me motivated to show a few more. These Birdtrude shots were taken two days ago. I'm shocked every morning when I get her out of her cage, longer wing and tail feathers, longer legs and neck, big feet... I feel like I should look for the hidden...

    Baby Chick Pictures!!!!! POST!

    All your babies are so cute! I never realized there was such a variety of shapes, colors, patterns and sizes of chickens til I came here. A few pics of my lovely Birdtrude. She was an unexpected street rescue a little more than a week ago, but I couldn't be more thrilled. Everyday she is...

    Birdtrude's been here a week!

    I figured I should introduce myself since today is my one week anniversary of being a chicken mama. Hi, I'm Liz. A friend found a baby chick on the street with no other chickens around...and I somehow ended up with her. I'm already in love! My husband was so confused- but he's being a good...

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    I really don't want another chicken, she would be more of a pet- any eggs would just be a bonus. I live in the Caribbean, right now the temp is between 95-85 every day. I've been careful about not having her in air conditioning/around fans, I don't think she'd get too cold. I guess if she seems...

    Breed? Age? Gender? Chicken?

    Thanks for the replies! I looked up pics of Easter Egger and Welsummer chicks and she totally looks like either of those- and they both sound lovely, so yay! Here is a comb shot-
