    Flock ate styrofoam—toss eggs??

    Hello all. I noticed that my chickens (flock of 13) decided to make a snack out of my kids’ boogie board. They ate about half of it. Should I be concerned for them and should I toss the eggs from this week in the trash or compost? Or are they safe to eat? Thanks so much!

    Wyandotte?

    Hello! I have a bird who is roughly 14-15 weeks old. I believe they are a female Wyandotte of some variety due to feather pattern and yellow legs. But they don’t have a rose comb. This one is very friendly, alert, aware, and often confrontational with their fellow chicklets. Neck feathers...

    Could the third one be a golden laced Wyandotte? The gold/black feather pattern is sort of starting to develop…

    That’s what I thought! She’s starting to grow that little tuft on her head

    3 week update — what am I?

    Hi All! Here’s an update at ~3 weeks of age. Any guesses on gender or breed? I tried to get a side/front view of each. There are 4 chicks total. Thanks so much!

    Possible female?

    Do I have one cockerel & one pullet?

    I’m wondering if one of these may be a cockerel? They’re around 2 weeks old. Also, are they sapphire gems? No real idea but they were labeled as olive eggers. Possible male

    No tail but cute as a button! What am I?

    Some comparison pics. Grey one is larger in body size but behind in tail & wing development:

    No tail but cute as a button! What am I?

    Not 100% on the age. Youngest this one could be is 2 weeks old +/- 2 days. This one is the same size or bigger than their siblings but much shorter wing/tail development. One of their siblings has wings so long they’re as long as her body! I’ll post a pic for comparison.

    No tail but cute as a button! What am I?

    This little one is 2-3 weeks old. No idea of breed. No tail yet to speak of, just a little fluff bump. Grey-blue eyes, light yellow/grey feet, black beak. Wing feathers coming in black w/a bit of grey. Any guesses on breed or gender? Their same-age “siblings” have tails.

    Random chicks — any guesses?

    Hi all! I have 4 chicks roughly 2 weeks old. No solid ideas about what breeds they are. any guesses?? They mostly look distinct from one another marking wise. I know it’s too early for sex determination but guesses welcome on that too! Two look somewhat similar with chipmunk-like coloring, but...
