Got this chick out of a bin that had cinnamon queens and mystic onyx. She was supposedly the onyx but we definitely don't think she is. There were yellow, black, and brown striped chicks in with her. She was a striped one. She is about 4-5 weeks old now, the bottom picture is from a little over...
This is Dixie, our Mille fleur bantam. She's our sweetest chicken, runs up to you for pets like a puppy. We've had her since 2015, we got her from some friends and we figure she's at least 8 or 9 years old. She's never had any problems. I came out this morning and immediately noticed something...
Since they didn't see that it was their egg, they should be fine. I don't think they'll make that connection. Our hens get broken eggs and shells, just well crushed up and we've never had an egg eater
We got this chick about three weeks ago, and were told that she would either be a mille fleur or a frizzle.. she's definitely not a millie, and I don't know much about frizzles. Nothing else I've found seems to match her, but she's definitely some sort of small breed. Any ideas?
Thank you! Here's the only good picture I could find of her. I'll look for a better side profile, sorry it's in portrait mode. She's our favorite chicken, her name is Dixie 🥰
Pretty early to tell, but looking at them I'd guess the second one is a roo because of the comb size. Also even pullets chicks will have little standoffs sometimes so that doesn't mean anything
A couple days ago, we got four bantam chicks from a small local feed store. One is supposed to be a Mille Fleur D'uccle, but the lady helping us wasn't sure if this guy was a frizzle or a millie.. We took our chances, and as she's starting to get her wing feathers, I'm curious as to what she...
Wow! That sounds like quite an adventure. Glad most of them survived. I haven't incubated before but it sounds like you handled everything pretty well! How are the babies now?
We have a similar setup, and what we do is take some chicken wire or something and fit it around the opening where the feed shows so that they can get their beaks through to peck at it, but can't scratch.
