    Mystery breed - and any gender leanings?

    Just thought you might like to know you were spot on! I called the store and asked them what hatchery they order from (Dunlap) and then emailed the pics to Dunlap. They responded immediately and said she’s a New Hampshire Red!

    Mystery breed - and any gender leanings?

    These chicks were hatched about May 1st. I got them from our local feed store after someone didn’t pick up their order. Both were supposed to be Delawares and Chick 2 (white one) definitely looks it. But Chick 1 is a mystery to me. Both have black bars developing on their wing tips. Both...

    Am I really a Delaware?

    These two chicks are 3 weeks old. They were ordered for a customer at our local feed store. They weren’t picked up so I brought them home. They were both supposed to be Delaware chicks but the brown and white one doesn’t look like a Delaware to me. I’ve had a Delaware hen before but she was...

    In better light today, I think the blood on her neck was from feathers being pulled out by the roots. I don’t think anything broke her skin. She’ll just look funny for awhile.

    Thank you. I do appreciate all the suggestions we were given. It’s not possible to take all advice given in situations like these. We had to pick what we thought was most relevant to the situation and thankfully it turned out well.

    You never know what someone’s circumstances are, I agree. I’m just glad they’re home now!

    I wonder what their story is.

    Rescuing abandoned chickens.

    Here you go! I checked on them as soon as it got light this morning and they seem happy. They're not afraid of us at all so in their minds maybe it was all just a nightmare. I'm curious if anyone can identify Dahlia (the white one). She looks like a Sussex to me but she has a lot of buff...

    You missed my post above - we already got them.

    Rescuing abandoned chickens.

    UPDATE!! I went to check on the girls tonight. I immediately saw signs of a struggle of some kind. They were all there but Petunia had all her neck feathers missing on the back of her neck as well as blood. My fear that our presence would change their habits and make them vulnerable proved...

    Thanks for the sug Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve been doing very similarly to that - we’re leaving a jackpot of treats in the makeshift pen and also sitting right outside it and having the girls come to us.
