Okee dokee. Sounds good.
She’s pretty flighty and has never been a fan of being handled. Hand raised in the house and does everything possible to avoid us.
The farm is taking back the Whiting true green and giving me an olive Egger chick instead. Not ideal as I didn’t want to raise another baby’s this year and wanted to integrate them all at same time to the older chickens, but, life eh?
The farm and apparently the hatchery said they do not know...
She has a spot of black on one wing so she might be a splash of some kind! Good to know about the black fluff. I’ve never had a barred chicken. She had light greyish, yellow fluff.
They are around 8 weeks old now. And last week I noticed the Whiting (red one) start to get longer tail feathers...
I was suspicious 🤨
When I realized the white one isn’t going to be barred, it can’t be California Grey (which is what I ordered). I actually started questioning if it’s just...

Any guesses on sex? 3 pics of each chick.
Okay. Thank you so much. I am worried about fowl pox which I’ve never encountered before.
they are in an XL dog crate with a 6x6 pen to themselves to be isolated from my others. Maybe it’s just the size of the dog crate at night. They come from a farm and are now in a backyard. The farm didn’t...
I just got two naked necks a couple of weeks ago. Now 19 weeks old. Was told one was moulting when I picked them up. She has lost all her “hair” on top of her head now and has a scabby area at the back of her head/neck and on her comb. What is this? Do I need to treat it with anything?
