    Curious about chicks breed

    Oh, I'm so excited you agree with what rural mouse said! My heart is so relieved and happy 😁 Lima is adorable, I love her coloring. We have Australops, Plymouth Rocks, and Orpingtons - so this will be a fun change. I also think her name is adorable - Lima 🤗 Now I'll start thinking of names for...

    Curious about chicks breed

    Oh this is exciting!! After our 4 hatchlings we're all roosters, I was really hoping we wouldn't have a repeat! I'd love to be able to keep them all. Thank you for your insight!!

    Thank you! I hope that's the mix - when I looked it up, they do look very similar!

    Curious about chicks breed

    That would be really great - those are two really pretty breeds when I looked them up. I just assumed they'd be black and I like the idea of pretty colors. Our first set of birds that we got were from Ideal. We had a wonderful experience with them. I only did TS because we weren't planning on...

    Curious about chicks breed

    I know I can't tell what gender our chicks are yet - but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on their breed? We bought 4 at Tractor Supply that were marked as pullet Olive Eggers. I know this doesn't mean much as far as breed or gender since it was TS. 😅 We hatched some eggs 3 mo back and...

    2.5 wk chicks - maybe blood in stool?

    Oh, good to know! I was going to make a gallon and just keep using that to fill their water until it ran out. I'll make it fresh each morning. Hadn't thought of that

    2.5 wk chicks - maybe blood in stool?

    I have 4 cute little 2.5-3 wk chicks. Today I noticed that some poop looks like it has red in it. It isn't bright red and I can't tell if it's actually blood. If it is blood, should I assume it's coccidiosis? I'm not sure how they even get that - we have a flock of 2 yr old birds but have never...

    Confirming gender

    I actually was getting suspicious because of the tail feathers looking a little downward drooping.

    Confirming gender

    Ok, thanks! They have much smaller combs than the other two, so I wasn't sure. Didn't realize they had gender colors for EE. Our only experience is chicks from a hatchery. :)

    Confirming gender

    Really? I didn't realize there was gender specific coloring on Easter eggers! I thought all specifics like that kind of flew out the window with being an EE. Good to know!

    Confirming gender

    These chicks are 9 wks old and I posted earlier (7 wks) and was told all 4 I have are roos. Two are definitely roos, but I wanted to confirm on these other two before I re-home them (can't have roos in my neighborhood). They're easter eggers. It's only 2 different birds in the images.

    Help with gender? :)

    Oh goodness that will be awful. It was such an ordeal to hatch these.. trying to rehome 4 roos sounds awful. 😞 Yes, they're all Easter eggers - I was listing their mother's breed in case that was helpful

    Help with gender? :)

    Oh no, my poor daughter is going to be shattered..she sobbed when we rehomed our last roo
