    Inquiring mind wants to know--WHAT IS SHE????

    @DelcoChix - I have the same thing from Cedar Creek, two black ones. I have sort of decided they must be black blue bells. For what it is worth... But your girls are really beautiful :)

    Cedar Creek Gatchery

    I would also like to add that the quality of the birds I got are in question. The barred rocks barring is not nearly as attractive as are the pictures on their website of their birds. That was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to purchase theirs. Also more than half my birds are roosters. I...

    Cedar Creek Gatchery

    Apparently there are two Cedar Creek Hatcheries. One is possibly in Wisconsin? The one I have dealt with is is Michigan.

    Cedar Creek Gatchery

    I am curious where you live? Other people here have also less than positive results from this so called hatchery. I ask where you live only to try to decipher how long those chicks were in shipping. Just the same, they should have given you either a credit or replacement for the chicks you lost...

    Even Silkies, who are notorious for being late bloomers show characteristics that are easily identifiable in sexing if you know what to look for!

    You can kind of sort of tell when you have roosters because roosters tend to develop their comb more quickly. I have about 1/2 of the birds I ordered from Cedar Creek turning out to be roosters but in all honestly, it is still a bit early to tell. I am pretty sure I have more than 1/2 of my...

    In my humble experience I have found Townline to be a very good reliable source for chickens if they have what you want. They are more for production birds and that is all good. They provide a high percentage success rate for sexing chicks, unlike Cedar Creek. 80+ % success rate. There is no 100...

    Losing five chicks in five weeks is not normal. It does happen sometimes, though. If you are giving them food and water and correct temps, then I would tend to assume the chicks are not of the highest quality to begin with. However, it is really hard to say because unless you have someone who...

    TaytsFlock, I hope your one remaining chick does OK. I am so sorry for your losses. Praying for successes, but I am quite sure that birds that have so much trouble in the beginning also have trouble through the first winter. I am not hopeful, and yet I do have some that are doing pretty well...

    For what it is worth, I would also like to add that my four week old chicks are not thriving. I want to be sure to state that I have raised many, many, many chicks over the past twelve plus years. I have had very few losses over the years. These guys are not thriving. I start them out on a...

    I too am wondering what I have here. We ordered French Silver Cuckoo Marans, California Greys and Barred Rocks, Speckled Sussex, Delawares, Super Bluebell layers plus some more. I have noticed some chicks have feathered legs, which was confusing but now I see that they are "French Silver Cuckoo...
