    Blue Cuckoo Marans??

    I purchased this pullet from a feed store that had her listed as a blue cuckoo marans but as I don’t have any experience with the breed, I’m not sure if this is the case. I thought cuckoos had barring and I kind of see some on her wings now that she’s older but still have no idea lol I included...

    Bantams and Blue cuckoo marans

    I got two blue cuckoo marans chicks a couple of weeks ago and they look very similar to your two little “penguins”. They should have slate colored legs with pink feet. Yours have fluffier legs than mine but it looks like they have little pink feetsies 🥰 These photos were taken the day after I...

    Spangled Russian Orloff Chicks?

    Looking at the comb, the leg color and the dark area at the tip of the beak I think those are Orloffs! My Orloff Winnie came to me a few weeks older than this so I never got to see her as a *baby* baby, but after countless hours of research on my then “mystery chick”, I feel like I got a good...

    Blue Cuckoo Marans??

    Both of these little ones were sold to me as blue cuckoo marans and I swear they looked like they were both the same color in the store! Now that I’ve gotten to see them in different lighting I’m seeing the difference between them. Are they both blue cuckoo or do I have something else? Any info...

    Introducing new member to flock: question about crate/pen

    I tried doing “soft introductions” where I’d bring the girls in to be near his pen just so they could see him and size him up. Then I moved on to outdoor play dates where they were still separated. I then moved on to putting him in the outdoor playpen with Pickle (the girl with more spots)...

    Introducing new member to flock: question about crate/pen

    Oh sorry, I didn’t even think about adding pics 🤦🏻‍♀️ Whoops So the run is 7ft long and I think like 4.5ft wide. I added a couple of photos of the girls eating watermelon because they’re just too cute ☺️🥰😄

    Introducing new member to flock: question about crate/pen

    Hey y’all 👋🏼 So I’m needing to introduce a Silkie cockerel to my existing tiny flock of two Silkie pullets (the pullets are 10 months old and the cockerel is roughly 5 months old). Now I normally wouldn’t introduce just one lonely little chicken but this sweet boy was a rescue and was all on his...

    Help! I have a baby chick a with swollen abdomen!

    I’m so sorry for responding so late! I sometimes forget to check my messages here (and everywhere…darn ADD🙄). The baby is doing just fine now and has no issues as far as digestion. I never figured out the cause for him/her being so swollen so I’m afraid I’m no help. My little “No Name” has...

    Umbilical Cord Infection?

    This is not my chick but someone in one of my fb groups is looking for someone to take this baby in, in hopes of getting her healthy. She doesn’t know what’s wrong with it and I’ve not seen this before so I was wondering if anybody could possibly identify the problem. Any info y’all could...

    Possible cross breed?? What did I buy??

    Yeah that’s what I thought. I specifically asked if it would be bearded and they assured me that it would absolutely be bearded. 😒

    Possible cross breed?? What did I buy??

    I was thinking she is possibly a Silkie cross but what she’s crossed with, I haven’t a clue! I spoke with the breeder who said it’s not possible that she could have been crossed with any other breed and perhaps she mixed up eggs and accidentally gave me a red Cochin egg. This chick has black...

    Possible cross breed?? What did I buy??

    From what y’all can tell, does it look like he/she will be bearded? I don’t see any sign of a beard but I am by no means an expert 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Possible cross breed?? What did I buy??

    There was no discussion of return policy/refunds so I’m not sure. I’ve been holding off on contacting the breeder because I’m trying to choose my words as carefully as possible so I don’t offend them or hurt their feelings. I know that sounds so silly. I used to be so assertive and could speak...
