I thought I would update this in case someone else gets a bird like this. He is a light brama. Thank you all for your input.

I think bbq is a bbr oegb and a rooster. Hope im wrong.

Okay, after seeing how girly Featherz pullet is, I think you're right about all boys. I can't even keep the hope alive... My D'uccle was 100% boy so fast I had my fingers crossed for Justanother Brooke. His waddles were red right away too. Also if you're right about the sebright I'm worried...

I'm no expert but I'm going to go against what the others are saying and agree with you. 2 girls, one boy. Your D'uccle has no waddle and is too pink in my opinion to be a boy. The sebright seems too pink too. I'd be interested when you figure it out if you would re-post.

I crack one egg (for 10 chicks) in a bowl and scramble it. Pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mash it up. Put it back for 15-20 more seconds. Re-mash with a fork. Sometimes I add a bit of water. They love it, there is no added fat, no real mess and is done in less than a minute.

I think it is some sort of silkie mix. Maybe silkie and EE. That's my best guess at least.

1. is a white cochin. 2. is a blue polish. 3. is a black silkie.

It's a darker buff. Maybe a red. A partridge looks more like this:

Guessing with a white cochin, silver polish, and unsure.

Those are all silkies. Buff and white it looks like but it's kinda hard to tell from the pic. Give the others a little time for their leg feathers to come in.

Taken today just for you. She was hatched approximately 3/7/2011. Her today: Her 3/10/2011:

It's not an EE, it's a BBR OEGB pullet. I have one too and if I posted a pic you would swear I posted a pic of your bird. Mine has a lovely personality though so you should be pleased. It should lay white or cream colored eggs. Also with the feathering I'm going to guess closer to 5 weeks than 7.

I agree with you. 1 looks like a golden sebright and 2-6 are millie fluer d'uccles. I love love love d'uccles. The heavily feathered feet don't lie. I think they look like little snow shoes. Edited to add: give it another week. My d'uccle was the first of my 10 that I absolutely KNEW was a...

I have 12 chicks, and every SINGLE ONE has a rear that "pulsates". It's 100% normal. If their poop is watery, I would say cut back on the sav-a-chick. I found that with my chicks if it was slightly too concentrated they would have intestinal upset. Maybe give it every other day. Just be sure to...

As adults I believe they could very much suffer from the same issue. Personally I wouldn't. Wood is absorbent and I would worry that sawdust would absorb water in their crop and stop them up. Someone else may come here with a story of using it without a problem but I would be too worried to use...
