We have 6 RIRs and 2 Easter Eggers. (And an EE Roo) We have been getting around 4-5 eggs a day, once 6. The RIRs are around 30 weeks and the EEs are around 27 weeks. One RIR who is a lot bigger than the rest, except for one, still has a small and pink comb, the others are fully developed and...

My 6 RIRs are 16 weeks and my 3 EEs (1 is a roo) are almost 14 weeks. My feed store said that Blue Seal is no longer making the organic grower crumble, which is what I've been feeding. And I seem to only be able to find the layer pellet at other stores. Is it too soon to switch to the layer...

lol. thanks everyone. that's what we were thinking. im kind of excited to have a rooster. so they are EEs... that's what I was calling them when I first got them, but then people on this forum told me I was wrong and that they were Ameraucanas not EEs... ehh whatever.

I have three ameraucanas they are 6 1/2 weeks old. two are definitely females, and don't really have any combs. the other one, white/silver, has a much larger comb that is getting very red. It also has like three combs in a row, no just one, like a normal hen would have. "she" is also the most...

temp. around 90. grass, with some dirt, sticks, twigs, pebbles, bugs, etc. he seemed to stop doing it - ive checked on him quite a few more times, and he seems okay now.

I just brought my 6 RIRs outside for the 3rd/4th time. They are all 2.5 weeks old approx. Two of them started sticking their heads up in the air, and opening their mouths really wide and kind of shaking their heads as if there was something stuck in their throat. One stopped, but the other has...

okay, because I've read that americanas and araucanas are rare and can only be gotten from breeders, and that hatcheries often mislabel them, and they're actually easter eggers, so I just wanted to check. Thanks.

they look Exactly like my Rhode Island Reds.

I have one 2.5 week old RIR that I think could be a roo - still has no tail feathers, while my other 5 have good sized ones. It's also extremely vocal and never shuts up. lol.

I just got 3 little chicks today. They were shipped out yesterday and arrived today - So I'm assuming they're 2 days old. I was told they are auricanas/americanas.. Is that correct? Legs are clean. They are very small, much smaller than my RIRs were when I got them. Are they the same as EEs...

thanks lol

I have 6 RIRs that are about 2-3 weeks old. I'm not sure if they're too young to tell at this age though. I am curious about one in particular though. It is smaller (the 2nd smallest), but is much slower in growing its feathers. All of he others have started growing their tail feathers and...

Can chicks grow at very different rates? I bought 6 RIRs. They were all around the same size, although I noticed a few were starting to get their wing feathers in. Now two of the six are huge, and the other four are still tiny. Also, one of the small ones has barely started to sprout her tail...

I am going to be getting some australorps and americanas today, however the minimum is too high for what I need. I am going to be getting 6, but only want to keep 2-3. So I will have 3-4 left over that will be for sale. Around $2.50-$4 each - not sure exact price yet. I am thinking of getting 3...

Im looking for 1-2 Seabrights (preferably silver) or even Lakenveders, or one of both - chicks, pullets or st run, in or around MA area, or willing/able to ship to MA. Thanks.
