    ethical hatcheries or breeders?

    They located in Polk, OH. They say “every chick gets a home” and they say it’s because they take preorders so they know what quantities of eggs to set, any extras from that go into the bins in the store for $4.25 each or are sold under their “adopt me bargain” straight run or “frypan bargain” at...

    ethical hatcheries or breeders?

    I actually love Meyer Hatchery. I’d consider them ethical. I. Know they don’t euthanize extra cockerels or excess chicks. I am lucky enough to only be a 45min drive from there, so I went in person to pick up my chicks. The chicks in the bin were all lively. All of mine have been healthy and...

    What breed are these

    Is this crow normal? (Video)

    My guy, Alfred Hitchcock, is a 20 week old LF Cochin cockerel. He has a deflating sound/ wheeze after his crow. Is this normal because he’s still young and new to crowing or should I be worried about a respiratory problem? Thanks!

    Partridge Penedesenca pullet or cockerel?

    For the sake of posterity, here are pics at 12 weeks old. I tried taking more photos but it’s 100 degrees today and none of us want to touch each other more than we have to. 😂

    Polish chickens with mixed flock questions

    Hi there, I have one 11 week old Polish in a mixed flock, she doesn’t get bullied but she’s a bit of a loner, so looking to get her a friend or two. Some crested Houdans of the same age are available nearby, but wasn’t sure that would serve the same purpose. Thank you for any advice. :)

    OHio ~ Come on Buckeyes, let me know your out there!

    ISO a polish pullet near North Ridgeville, Ohio. Preferably older than 12 weeks and up to a year. I have one polish in my mixed flock, and although they all get along fine, she’s a bit of a loner and roosts on her own. Let me know if you have one available. Thanks!

    Breed guess on 10 week old Meyer bin chick?

    Still haven’t figured this one out. Darker red than my New Hampshire (I think) chicks. Straight comb, yellow legs, black feathers at the tail and some black markings on the wings. I thought maybe buckeye, but they have pea combs. Let me know what you think! From Meyer Hatchery 3/31 hatch, almost...

    Partridge Penedesenca pullet or cockerel?

    Mine had greenish legs around 5-6 weeks, but they turned slate grey soon after! Pics at 10 weeks old. Still hoping this is a pullet, saddle feathers are rounded, breast is still reddish salmon without dark patches… but it’s A LOT of comb, though not quite as red as my Cochin cockerel of the...
