    Not what I thought... Can you help?

    Thanks all! Very weird; maybe her adult plumage will be more typical. I'm not breeding or showing so not really worried about conformation quality. Really, I got chick fever this spring and went a little crazy. (I really didn't need any more chickens!)

    She could be Welsummer; I can't tell what her legs look like or if she has a beard in better times. I think she will be very pretty when her feathers come back.

    Not what I thought... Can you help?

    This chick came, with a few others, from (I think) Hoover Hatchery. Supposedly sexed as a pullet. S/he is about 10 weeks old. As a day-old, I thought it was an Ancona (see the young chick-pic.) Now I am stumped. You can see by the close-up that the feathers actually look like they have a...

    Feather Sexing Baby Chicks Help!

    You just have to wait. Feather sexing only works on very few breeds, and is not fool proof. Let us know in a few weeks!

    NEED ADVICE! Have chickens but no coop. Lookimg for affordable options

    I built my own coop, 8'X8' and then added a run with PT 2X4 and welded wire. I added a second 4'X6' coop later. When I moved I had them both moved to the new house. I don't remember what I spent, but scounged and found second-hand lumber when I could. Roof shingles were practically free from...

    Young cockerel.... breed?

    Hi. I currently have a young cockerel that a friend found at a roadside rest stop. He is extremely friendly (comes when I call him, follows my dog and me on walks..), so I suspect he was handled a lot before whoever had him realized he was a he...... I have never had any of the "Red"...

    Post Your Game Cam Pics Here!!!

    They also eat carrion. Here is a pic of one at a kill site of a dead doe (one of two I found in my back woods during hunting season.) In this pic he is seeing the approach of a coyote... note the arched back. (At this kill site, I also got Black Bear, multiple Coyotes, red fox, and opossum...

    Post Your Game Cam Pics Here!!!

    Barred Owl, with a mink in its talons! (OK, I cheated; I came upon this owl while showshoeing down by the beaver pond. It tried to fly away with its prize but couldn't get off the ground, so flew away; I returned and set up the camera on the kill site.) BTW, the mink was beheaded when I...

    Choosing a surveillance camera

    Hi all, I'm reviving this thread as my 2012 Bushnell Trophy cam (which got me GREAT pics and video for a while) decided to just stop working. Zip, nada, nothing.... It is, of course, out of warranty. So I'm in the market for a new camera and am a bit shy of the Bushnells. I'm looking...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Egg color question: Last year I hatched some eggs from my Wheaten Ameraucanas bred to my Welsummer roo. (Who by the way was the best boy EVER; I set these eggs after he got taken by a fox... I wasn't planning to make EEs, but I love 'em!) Out of that batch I kept a girl (who looks like a...
