    Looking a little scrappy?

    I appreciate the response! I haven’t had chickens since I was a child, I don’t want to be nonchalant and miss something! Thanks so much!

    Looking a little scrappy?

    My 3 girls are 21 weeks, and the first eggs were a few days ago. I’ve noticed my black Australorp Sasha is looking a little shaggy and not as smooth as my Easter egger and barred rock, I’m wondering if they all “struggle” a little as they mature? Changed to free-feeding layer crumble today, with...

    9 wks...Please say all 3 are pullets!

    What a huge relief to hear everyone’s opinions—pullets! WHEW! It would be terrible to give up these girls.

    Why won't the site let me see the photo you posted? It says "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action." :-(

    Thank you!!! It's all too clear that I love them WAY too much... But Chicken TV is a real thing, it's so relaxing to sit out there and watch them roam around eating spiders and things! And my friends just don't get it, that's why I love you all so much. :wee

    Thank you for the advice on letting them get on without a lamp, they spend so much time preening I wasn't sure if they were all grown in yet. ;-)

    I know it’s not 100% until they lay or crow, but I’m reaching the cutoff of when their breeder will take back any cockerels. I’ve learned so much lurking on this site, I’m hoping I haven’t worn out my welcome with my questions! So very thankful for your kind advice here, and generous sharing of...

    Oh no! Are those pointy saddle feathers?!

    Dear Alex, YES! That's the BR with the big beak! She is Maeve the Brave, sweetest thing ever... if I had to give her up I'll be so very sad... very glad to hear you think she's a "she"!

    Your responses are so appreciated and have made me so relieved!! I love my three chicks so much, and I’m so stressed about one being a roo and having to go away. I’ll reach out at 9 weeks to get a consensus about the barred rock and EE!

    8.5 week old black australorp with a teeny yellow comb, but suddenly her (his?) tail looks all stringy... anyone care to comment and put my mind at ease? Thank you all in advance for being such a fantastic and friendly resource! ❤️

    Too early to detect roos?

    Thank you so much, and thank you for this awesome link! I’ll take everyone’s advice and check in at 8 weeks. Fingers crossed for girl (hen) power!

    Too early to detect roos?

    A backyard breeder... But now I'm doubting her knowledge since Dear Prudence is apparently not even close to what this lady indicated, a blue wheaton lol. I really just hope they are pullets and healthy, so honestly if they are this I'll be thrilled. lol!

    Too early to detect roos?

    Well, was hoping she would get some darker feathers in there. I have these (hopefully) hens as pets and egg layers, in that order, so of course I don't need a "show quality" hen! :-) I did prefer a blue or green egg layer so lets cross fingers for that! THANK YOU so much for your responses!
