I bought this chicken about a year ago as a young chick, the person I bought it from said it was a frizzle. As it got bigger I could tell that it didn't have a lot of feathers and the ones it did have were really curly. I had read about frazzles online and I'm pretty sure that is what she is. I...

One week ago I bought 4 silkie chicks and 4 standard size chicks from a local farm store that orders them from a hatchery. I have them all set up in a plastic bin with plenty of room, heat lamp, feeder and waterer. I worked this past weekend and then was sick Monday so my husband has been the...

Thanks!

Here's a few pictures I took today.. The bigger one (the one up front) has a pale yellow-tan comb with a black marking on the beak, and light tan/grey legs with the black/grey wash on the front. The smaller one has the yellow comb and yellow legs with a little black wash on the front. To...

Thanks for the reply! I am hoping for pullets as I already have a BR rooster. I will keep this thread updated with pictures

I bought these two barred rock chicks about two weeks ago and they looked to be about 2 weeks or so at the time. The chick in the front has always been a little bigger so I'm guessing it is older than the other one in the back (the small chick is a cochin). They both look pretty dark to me, the...

I have a broody hen who just hatched 2 chicks 4 days ago and they are doing great. Tomorrow I am getting 5 more young chicks, 1 week old or less, and was wondering if she would adopt them and raise them along with her 2 chicks? I was thinking I could put them underneath her at night time so she...

He's about 3 months old and tiny. I was told this was a game hen, but obviously not a hen. I googled pictures of bantam breed roosters and I'm thinking it's a serama?

thank you!

I have a hen sitting on eggs from my splash bantam cochin who was bred by my white silkie rooster. I am curious as to what color they will be? will they have blue skin? Also, I have some young cochins, a black pullet, black roo, and a blue roo. what color would the chicks of these crosses be...

Chick #1 and chick #2 were roosters, #3 was a hen, and #4 died shortly after this.

THANK YOU! We were able to get it off without hurting the chick :)

there is very little wiggle room to slide anything in there to grip it

Yes, please take a picture and post, thank you!!

I just bought a few chicks from a local woman that raises and sells them. The chick is less than a week old and has a small zip tie around its leg. The lady didn't know apparently, and I only noticed it once I was home. I messaged her and asked how to remove it and she said use nail clippers. My...
