    Anyone have a chick born without toenails?

    I hatched 6 chicks 2 1/2 weeks ago..I had one born without two toenails (middle toe on each foot). She has seemed to get around just fine and it doesn’t appear to be causing her any issues. Has anyone Had this happen before? The eggs were sold to me by a friend of a friend, so I don’t know much...

    I know it’s a little warlyGender guess?

    So I know it’s really early on as these guys are just about two weeks old, but I’m fairly certain I have three little cockerels on my hands. All three are pretty sassy, the first two love to poof up and come at my hand when I stick it in the brooder, they both also are very nippy :lol:. Combs...

    Hatched chicks - breeds? What would you call them? Just for fun!

    Hey, guys! I hatched 6 chicken eggs last night - I had bought the eggs from a local friend. The two roosters she has in with the hens are a Buff Orpington and an EE. I had three green eggs resulting in 3 Buff-colored chicks (one is chipmunk I believe). Two of them have pea combs and one has a...

    My EE/Leghorn chicks at 7 weeks

    Hey all! I posted when these little ones were about 4 weeks, and I wanted to wait until 8 weeks to post gender pics of them again, but I’m getting impatient :D Just curious to see what y’all think at this point! #1. The only Sapphire Gem/leghorn cross of the bunch: #2 #3 #4...

    Chick sexing! =)

    Hi all! Here are my 4 EE/Leghorn, and my 1 Sapphire Gem/Leghorn cross chicks that I hatched about 4 weeks ago. Just for fun I’d like to see your guys’ guesses on the genders. I’m pretty sure I may have 3 Roos, and two possible pullets. Let me know what y’all think, please! :D #1 EE/Leghorn -...

    My new babies & guesses on egg color!?

    Here is one of my EE chicks. All of their combs look almost identical, but this is the only one I could get a decent shot of - some of the combs are a tiny bit smaller than others. A couple for sure have three little rows. This is a pea comb, correct?: And here is my Sapphire Gem/Leghorn...

    My new babies & guesses on egg color!?

    Interesting! I would be able to tell right now if they have pea combs, correct? They’re really hard to see, but I’m pretty certain I’m seeing tiny little pea combs on every one of the EE’s, but it could just be me haha. They all definitely have very, very small combs - especially compared to the...

    My new babies & guesses on egg color!?

    Thank you! That’s kind of what I figured, but wasn’t 100% sure since her eggs actually look a tad bit more blue in person. Would the babies be considered an “EE” also? Sorry if that’s a dumb question :D

    My new babies & guesses on egg color!?

    Hey all! So I decided to incubate some eggs from my flock - all of them bred from a white leghorn roo. Four of the eggs were from my EE hen (she lays mint colored eggs). And two were from my Sapphire Gem hen. I ended up hatching 5 out of the 6 earlier this week. All of the babies are white, some...
