    Fall first time layers?

    They were sold as Easter eggers but I’m not 100% They are certainly a mix of something though. That would be great if they did lay through the winter!! I’ve been waiting long enough 😁

    Fall first time layers?

    I have a few hens that are approaching laying age. They are around 20/21 weeks and I have noticed reddening of combs and larger wattles. No vocalizations yet, no squatting. My question is this...if a hen comes of laying age in the fall will they wait until the following spring to lay their first...

    Post Pictures of Chickens that need to be Sexed Here!

    Picture overload ahead. Pretty sure I’m overrun with roosters 😳 I’d like some confirmation before rehoming. I’m pretty sure at least #1-7 are cockerels. Apologies if they’re all out of order! I believe all are 10-12 weeks.

    When and how to split a group?

    I currently have 12 keets around 7 weeks old. I planned to split the group and give 6 to my aunt. She currently has 3 grown, but does not lock them up at night. (They typically roost in her horse barn.) I’m curious when I should split the group? I want to make sure they’re old enough to be a...

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    I’m still holding out hope that these AREN’T some type of meat bird. They have been enjoying time out of the coop and are pretty active. They don’t have wide set legs. They don’t seem any bigger than my others. They don’t lay around all day and aren’t losing feathers. I’m certain they aren’t a...

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    Hm, this is an interesting thought. I do have another white one that I didn’t post a pic of. We call him Dot because he has a few dots of black and also gray legs. I assumed EE with the gray legs, but maybe not. Maybe these white guys are related! I could hope.

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    I guess if it’s for sure some type of meat bird I’ll convince my husband to process it ;) Or give it to an experienced friend. Just not sure at what point I should make that decision. I don’t particularly want roosters because I have some other suspected roosters, so I don’t have as much...

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    So, I guess my dilemma is what to do with them with different mixed opinions? Do I hold off, wait and see what happens? If they show signs of going downhill soon then I’ll know they’re Cornish x?

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    All of the chickens I have act as though they’ve never been fed, but I don’t think these white ones are eating more. When I first got all of them these guys were bigger than the rest, but at this point everyone has evened out in size.

    That was my thought too.

    What in the world are these guys?! Leghorns?

    I purchased 14 chicks described as Easter Eggers. Now, I figured these guys weren’t EE, but I took them anyway just out of curiosity and because I felt bad leaving them behind. Someone told me they may be Leghorns, but I’m a tad nervous they’re meat birds. Any idea what breed they may be and...
